It sounds ideal, a sort of beach childhood. But it wasn’t really. I didn’t use the beach very much at all.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that even though Miranda Richardson's childhood may have seemed perfect, with a "beach childhood," the reality was quite different. She didn't actually spend much time at the beach, even though it may have seemed like an ideal way to grow up. The quote highlights that things are not always as they appear, and that our perceptions of someone else's life may not match the actual experience.
