Couple celebrates 55 years of annual trips to Weston-super-Mare

A couple from Northamptonshire has been returning to the same UK seaside town for the last 55 years. Sue and Trevor Sherman first visited Weston-super-Mare for their honeymoon in 1970. Since then, they have made it a tradition to celebrate their anniversaries in the same place every year. Despite living 288 miles away, the Shermans have never missed a visit to Weston-super-Mare. They enjoy the town for its sunny weather, beautiful sunsets, and classic British seaside charm. Sue, who was born there, cherishes her childhood memories of the town and loves sharing it with her family. This year, they celebrated their emerald anniversary with a three-day trip, including a tea party with relatives. The couple enjoys staying at various hotels, with their latest visit being at the Royal Hotel. They believe there is much more to explore in Weston than the famous donkey rides. Weston-super-Mare has faced challenges over the years, but plans are in place for improvements. A new waterpark is set to open, and there are ambitious plans to refurbish the historic Birnbeck Pier. The town council is working on a £20 million revitalization project to attract more visitors. Trevor, 75, and Sue, 73, enjoy the community spirit in Weston and the connections they've made through the years. They believe their long-lasting marriage is due to kindness, humor, and being content with life. They plan to continue their annual visits to Weston for many more years.
