Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside

In lieu of the Book meme this week have a brief picspam. We decided to go away last weekend in order to make up for having been backwards and forwards to Lincolnshire so often recently.

Oh awesome! I love all the Dickens links. Maybe it's time to reread Bleak House....

We had no idea it was so nice. I can see why Dickens liked it so much. We'd probably have run out of things to do if we'd been there too long but for a short break it was ideal.
