The Sea, or more correctly, the seaside was for me like many generations of Londoners a day out. The Essex coast was an ever popular destination from the east end of the capital. Even today places like Southend or Clacton provide healthy air alongside un-healthy snacks to be enjoyed on a day by the sea. In August, both Southend and Clacton host air displays – these shots were taken at Clacton in 2009
I spent many happy hours at Clacton when I was a child. Great pics! 🙂
Thank You – It hasn’t changed much 😉
Shy Talks? is that a nickname Martin? Clacton looks like fun, as long you bring your own snacks!
LoL Christine – say it quickly and remember that Gulls have a habit of dropping on that nice new frock you bought 😉 As for the snacks… Better be quick or the Gulls will have them !
Nice seaside photos. We were at the beach today with our 18 month old grandson & his Mum. It was a nice day but a bit windy. The last photo reminds me of a British show I saw recently where someone converted a disused lifeboat station into a home. I think.it was the show Grand Designs
I Googled & found it. It was at Tenby

If you click on the before during & after photos they pen up a whole gallery of photos of the process. It was a fascinating episode to see the work involved.
I expect my good lady will have watched that one – thanks for the link, I’ll take a look 🙂 I hope your Grandson enjoyed his trip to the beach 🙂
The entire episode is on Youtube if your interested in watching it. Goolge Grand Designs Tenby Lifeboat Station & you will find it. Goes for abt 45 mins.
