Just because the sun ain't shining...
We came to the beach. We're going to enjoy it.
I'm mixing my days up now - the above pics were taken on Thursday, when the sun came out.
Those below are from earlier in the week.
It reminded me so much of our holidays when I was younger.
And my favourite ever pub.
I have never been inside it (can't now, it's closed) but it was a joke throughout my childhood. Dad would always (ALWAYS, every time we saw it over the years) give me a barking smack. As in woof woof, wallop.
It says something about developing minds that I had to ask every year why the pub had that name. I think I was about 14 when I finally got it settled in my head.
FTR, a smack is a type of fishing boat. Barking is a place (that I knew - Mum was born close to Barking and Auntie Alice still lived in the area). So a Barking Smack is like the Woolwich Ferry, just a boat from somewhere.
Still, it is funny.
Or maybe you had to be there.
