🪶 POEM 🪶
(Written by Infinity Alexander)
There’s something romantic about this place,
With it’s cobbled stone pathways and rusted gates.
The sandstone sentinels that look out to sea,
At Anchor Head, they stand silently.
Spare some change for the artists,
Who spend their lives here.
Entertaining, painting, providing for all who come near.
In a town so old and rich in it’s deep history,
You’ll find secret alleyways of yesterday’s mystery.
Though many look down on it with a scrutinizing glare,
What remains here, I’ve found, is a lively town with flare.
So go exploring and get lost in it’s ware and tear,
And you may find more character in Weston-Super-Mare.

You really captured Weston's wonderful essence. Thanks for a lovely film.
What a super film. Off for a stroll around Birnbeck then a big brekki. You really captured what we love about Weston ❤
Thank you for showing a unique side of my home town.😀I love living here.There are good and bad points,like anywhere,but
Weston is definitely on the up with money being spent on rejuvination,especially of Birnbeck Pier and shop fronts.😊
Rosie + Howard Smith's book!!
A very enjoyable film of Weston. Thank you
What an absolutely amazing video and even makes me feel better about the town I love.
Infinity, I'm a wsm immigrant from near Bath. I couldn't agree with you more. You get it. I love this place for all of the reasons you document, plus many more besides. You're so refreshing in your positivity about this place - your film brought a little moisture to my eye. Bravo. 👏
Thank you for your kind words Buzzard.. it really means a lot that this episode has resonated with so many Westonians! Really flattered that you enjoyed this so much, thanks!
26:30 I worked in that record stall with Ron, I'm the person who kept asking about the canned cocktail while I organised the records and labeled them.
thank you for this!
Nice to see a positive vibe and a great video, it's a marmite destination you either love or hate it, I moved to here three years ago from Bristol and have never looked back and I love living here !
I'm going to go visit Western Super Mare now

Wonderful to hear, thanks for tuning in!😊
22:06 that one on the left is actually my mums unit!
Great Video!
Thank you! If I hadn’t been looking at the new signage today for Birnbeck Pier I would have missed out on this delightful film. Loved Orlando too, mine was called Jezebel.
Thanks for tuning in! Was your camper a Renault Trafic too? Ulendo is his name by the way, it's a Chichewa word for 'journey'😊
@@ChartingCourse Ulendo is a much more appropriate name. Yes my camper was a Renault Trafic. Autosleeper conversion. She was very beige. Gone but never forgotten. Have passed your video onto a few people, hoping you’ll reach a new audience!
Well, how many places have - Super - in their name? nice video btw!
Thanks so much Ollie, glad you enjoyed it! Nice profile pic by the way. I live in the 70s, but I do have a brick phone in my collection at home😄
