It looks like a great day out was had by all. Only us Brits can go to the seaside and wear our coats. Did Munchkin manage to win much on the machines. I remember trying to give them a slight nudge with my hip when I was a child in an effort to dislodge the tuppences - oh dear what does that say about me.
Still sunny in October. We are so lucky with the Autumn weather this year, which slightly makes up for the summer, I suppose. Hope you brought back a stick of rock. Congrats to the boy, many happy returns!
Vintage Wants Not Needs - now I wouldn't want you feeling guilty about that nudging, I used to do exactly the same thing only it was more like a shove! Hen x
Those lovely seaside pics look very familiar to me, I think that you may have been visiting my neck of the woods, Id recognise that gull anywhere! My kids loved their trips to the seaside, a long walk along the promenade, £1.00 bag of 2p's in the amusements, followed by fish & chips and ride on the open top bus back. Such fond memories.
Lovely photos! Especially the one where Munchkin is eating his Knicker Bocker Glory with that most splendid check shirt on! Donkeys are such special animals :o)
Oooooh!!! I do love to be beside the seaside too. I am lucky to be only 5 minutes walk away now but there is nothing like the nostalgia of British Beaches to bring back such wonderful memories (now where did I put those deckchairs!!!) xxxx
I love the kitsch and garishness that sometimes comes with the seaside, it's just so fun isn't it? A belated happy Birthday to the munchkin, the sweetest boy in the world! Vanessa xxx
Hello,
Thank you so much for visiting the HenHouse. I am a 30-something stay-at-home mum sharing my life with my lovely partner, Andy/Mr HenHouse, the Munchkin, aged 10, and three naughty cats: Charlie-Boy, Jacky-Ginge and Vorey-Puss! I love sewing, crafting, quilting and mooching for vintage finds. We currently split our time between the city in London and our cosy cottage bolthole in the West Country. Here we seek out eiderdowns, Lloyd Loom, china, flowery pictures, embroidered tablecloths and of course, cider and cream teas! I sell my handmade items at craft fairs, on Etsy and in my blogshop and am so thrilled they have found welcoming homes all over the world.

You're in my favourite seaside resort! Harbour Bar was a student haunt in the Winter for their hot chocolate
Have fun
