Very Cold Seaside Day

It's the school Easter holidays, it's Spring... so I thought it was time to wrap up and venture outside. It was bitterly cold, but the sun was really doing it's best to shine for us.

We wrapped up, put Imogen's scooter and one of the dogs (wrapped up too) in the car and went to Bridlington for the afternoon. Honey was so excited to be out of the car and ran down the beach to play while Andy and Imo built dams, stepping stone paths and towers with the stones.







I sat in my chair with my blanket, hood and gloves, but my lips were stinging from the cold wind coming across the sea. How I would have loved to run down and build something to keep warm. I wasn't lonely though, not with so many people out and about enjoying the bracing sea air and walking their dogs. I often find that dog owners are so friendly, I stroked and petted lots of lovely dogs and chatted with their owners.



Eventually Honey ran back to me and jumped on my lap to get warm, time for chips mum! Andy and Imogen came back and we sat in the car and had fish and chips looking out over the sea.



After thawing out a bit, Imogen went back out and rode up and down the prom on her scooter.




Very cold, but still a lovely family time out... may take an extra blanket next time though!

Here's a quick snap of the puppies having a nosh...




Take care

  1. Ooh that looks bracing! We used to go to Bridlington on ' Trip Day' when I was a child and lived in Driffield. We still love the east coast but tend to go to Scarborough if we head over there.

  4. We've been to the beach too this last week and even brave / stupid enough to have a picnic there! Love the pups.
    FYI - Blogger is not for some reason updating the fact that I have done a post.

  5. If the sun is out, you must go to the seaside even if it's cold. We just moved into our beach hut and have gone down to visit it almost every day...sometimes for only a few minutes... it's SO COLD! : )

    AND I must say, those puppies are adorable!

  7. Awww, the puppies are growing, they're so cute. Bridlington's had a bit of a facelift over recent years, I was surprised at how it's changed. It's lovely to have a bit of sunshine, even though it's still very chilly.
