What does the sea mean to you?
"Life. Life. I just, I couldn’t live anywhere without the sea"
Life. Life. I just, I couldn’t live anywhere without the sea. I used to work on the cruise ships, I worked on cruise ships for three years and it was fab, just being out in the middle of the sea, you know. Just, my whole life’s here, walking along the seafront, looking at the sea- there’s nothing better. Lots of people take it for granted but when I get in my car in the morning and drive up to work, and I drive along the seafront, I just think it’s absolutely beautiful down here. It’s my life. I’m a Pisces as well. I’m going to become a beach lifeguard next year so I’m closer to the sea. And then obviously if I’m beach lifeguard next year, then maybe I’ll be closer to the lifeboat and everything as well.
