Tourism is of huge importance but is of course at the mercy of the weather when you live on on rocky peninsula sticking out into the Northern Atlantic Ocean. The past three summers have been damp, which is the last thing we need as the economic buffeting continues. Added to that the winters have been less than sympathetic and so we should be looking grim. BUT WE DON'T DO GRIM and so we battle on toward the summer of 2010. One good thing is that we have the ideal summer wear for a sasquatch on holiday. Harbour Sports Paignton staffer Grant Clarey (16) who knows a thing or two about watersports (we call him G-SAC because of his initials "GSAC") stands proud in his new DC tee shirt clutching a size 30 flipflop.................................Today the sun is beaming down on South Devon and I've just been chatting to Matt Cole who is a Harbour Sports Plymouth staff member and an undergraduate at Plymouth University. He says that the historic Barbican is simply gleaming this morning and they have been outside the shop soaking up some of that spring sunshine. Do you know you can almost taste the spring air today - I love this time of year.........
