HOLIDAYS have always followed a rhythm, even in Victorian times.

If the weather is good you head for the beach; if not so good, it's time for a walk on the prom.

The trio of girls on the right are obviously on the prowl for a handsome beau, while the family on the left are probably heading back to their guest house for high tea and telling their son he can't have a kite, water pistol - you name it.

We may have forsaken the Costa del Clyde, but we can't escape the rhythm of holiday life.
