A nice day out.

Hello. Me and the little fella have been to the beach today. It was a bit cold and damp, and we went though some fog on the way there, but no matter, we still had a nice day. It's 62 miles to Mablethorpe and it takes an hour and a half to get there. The last few miles are on twisty roads. I followed the Beach sign and it took me straight into a car park overlooking the sea. There were a few people walking about with their dogs.

We had a bimble on the beach, then set off down a path which goes along the edge of the sandhills and along the promenade, towards the town. 

The seagulls kept landing and taking off, trying to balance on the railing in the wind.

All the outdoor amusements are closed for the winter. No one playing crazy golf.

Nothing happening at the fairground except a bit of maintenance work.

All the beach chalets are locked up. 

Another empty golf course.

And more chalets, boarded up. There are a lot of these.

These chalets have their own garden with lawns and plants and seating, and they are not crammed together like the others. 

We walked round a very large pond with a bridge across the middle.

The boats are stored away in the compound until the spring. 

Then someone came to feed the ducks and they all came rushing across the pond to get some. 

Sorry Rocky, I am not going to give them my sandwiches.

We walked back through the town. There were some shops open, and pavement cafe's were serving food. A big slot machine arcade was open but most were closed. I found a sheltered spot with a bench to sit on near the Co op, and we had our late lunch. It was getting a bit cold as we walked back along the prom, we were glad to get back into the car. Just got to put the seat belt through his harness and we can go. That was a nice day out wasn't it, Rocky.  Yes, are we off now. 

Toodle pip.
