Atmosphere
"without prejudice"
Embedded Files
Atmosphere and marketing the beach go hand in hand. Basil understood, especially with overseas travel, holiday resorts need to express colour with flowers, flags, umbrellas etc. also music and good service.
Basil had Barbara and Gary chip away at the bark of hundreds of pine trees at the entrance and stick little squares of reflective scotch tape all down one side of each pine tree, also scotch tape strips on the hundreds of half buried painted tyres. Besides all the colour in the day time with flags, coloured umbrellas, painted tyres, at night car lights lit up the whole pine plantation with multi colours from reflective scotch tape. A great welcome to those arriving at night for the weekend, children used to refer to it as fairy land.
