At the beach

We've been in Bournemouth  for a few days to see our grandson. There's lots to do, with a pile of subsoil bunging up the drive in preparation for levelling the steep back garden.
But, hang on a minute, the sun is shining. Forget the garden, we are heading to the beach!
It's glorious weather, and we set off in the early morning so that we can be back home before the midday heat becomes too intense. The beach is quiet - for now.
Just how we like it!
Still a bit cold for swimming.
We all do our own thing.
Bournemouth seafront has many beach huts.
It's hard to resist peering in at the ones that are occupied, each with it's own little tableau. We would love to have  a hut but are not prepared to camp out for days in the queue  each year when the rentals come available.
On Sunday we walked down Alum Chine for lunch at the beach café. 
More lovely beach huts to see.

Keeping up with a one year old is quite hard work!
Okay for him,
 but I could have done with being pushed back up the chine as well!

  1. It is always a good day to go to the beach, except, of course, if it is storming. That can be exciting though.

    How many people do those little beach huts hold?

    Keeping up with a toddler is hard work, but the time with them is priceless.

  2. I still have a childlike enthusiasm for being at the beach, fair weather or foul, but especially fair! I've no idea how many people the huts are supposed to hold. Some have a stately, well-organised couple and others have family and friends spilling out onto the promenade. I'm very envious!
    Being a grandmother was a longed for wish and I'm loving every minute of it. Well worth the wait - although I could do with being younger. The photo shows that I'm having difficulty keeping up!
