Our Eldest Daughter and Grandson Jacob came to visit for the weekend and our son decided we should all meet up at the beach hut on Sunday. As they say in the newspapers "Phew what a scorcher!" Actually it was lovely there with a little breeze, so much cooler than it would have been inland at home.
(BTW Our Cornetto parasol wasn't nicked from a pub garden!)
Luckily the tide was right so we could go on the beach, it would have been lethal having a toddler up by the hut with a 5 foot drop from the hut level down to the prom. At high tide the sea is right up to the steps you can sea behind our encampment.

Eldest and Jacob went home Monday morning and Nana Sue and Grandad Colin collapsed in a heap for the rest of the day. Jacob sleeps well through the night but likes to be up early at 5am! and once up he just doesn't stop. His favourite words " Brrrrm Brmmm Car Car Go Go!"

Lovely to see your family snaps, I love the ones with Col and the little ones.
ReplyDeleteLoving the sunny photos!
ReplyDeleteJ x
what a lovely day.x
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder - how did we manage when we were young? The answer I suppose is - we were young and full of vim and vigour. Looks a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI know, I had two in 17 months but I was only 26!
DeleteWhat lovely photos - a grand time was had by all from the sound of things. I had my children in my 30s (first at 34) so by the time I was 39 and had Danny I was running out of steam!
ReplyDeleteAwww that brings back memories of lovely seaside holidays when mine were little.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a day by the sea-x-
What a lovely, traditional family day out to the seaside.
ReplyDeleteDays like these create excellent memories. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteaw, that's such a lovely scene. A proper family day out! x
ReplyDeleteOoh a lovely family day out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great day had by all xx
ReplyDeleteI love to see this - enjoyable and memorable family day out!
ReplyDeleteA lovely day spent with the ones you love.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I had four under 5, a late starter eventually had him to the vets. How did we do it? Certainly struggle now with the (lovely) grandkids. Lovely to see Col enjoying the day and your grandkids.
ReplyDeleteA six year gap between son and youngest meant I was 32 .... decided NO MORE! Although I loved the fun I had with A while the eldest were at school.
DeleteWe walked Will along the beach yesterday, much cooler in the breeze, plus daughter's hayfever was not so bad. You can't beat a day at the beach.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU everyone for your lovely comments - such a good family day - a treat to have (almost) everyone together.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, definitely the place to be in this weather xx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I'd like a beach hut they're do useful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family day - it must be so nice to have a Beach hut of your own at the seaside - the grandchildren will love it. My Grandma and granddad had an old tiny weekend chalet in the countryside in Derbyshire and I loved going to visit them.
ReplyDeleteYour family beach day looks lovely! Happy you could all enjoy it together! Beach huts are such a wonderful idea...no such thing here in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to spend the day. You can't beat a day at the beach. Happy memories. X
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely family day. Gosh time goes so fast, your grandchildren paddling already ... wow :-)
ReplyDeleteFamily days with grandchildren are the best!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures sue. Jacob looks a little live wire. They are So cute at that age but always on the go. Grandad obviously has the magic touch Jacob looks really chilled out having a cuddle with him. Lots of lovely memories made for everybody. Xx
