Chess Faded former child chess prodigy Jim Castle lives for only two things. The first is chess.

Lunch The second is his weekend daytrip to the seaside, for which he meticulously prepares a packed lunch.

Postcards Jim prepares his daytrip in detail - and even before reaching the seafront, knows he will need a postcard to send later.

Barrier Jim's favoured spots on the beach are away from the crowds, in the more run-down parts of the seafront.

Picnic Jim finds the time to eat his picnic in a lonely wind shelter.

Beach Jim heads onto the sands.

Donkeys Jim wanders idly along the beach. What does he see in the beach life anyway?
