Beside the seaside

A proper day at the seaside, at Great Yarmouth. We strolled along the beach from our site along to the pier. I haven't been to a good traditional British seaside resort for ages (quite frankly, after living in Southend for a year once, put me off for life) but it was great fun.
I couldn't resist taking a photo of these bright buckets and spades, so many happy memories of beach holidays as a child, and also with my own kids.

The sun shone, we enjoyed a beer on the pier, met the donkeys and enjoyed looking at all the seaside goodies on sale. We even had a round of Arabian racing which was genius...i was robbed at the line.
In the evening, we were able to fire up the BBQ and had some gigantic steaks, and a beer or two, or three.
A cracking day.
