On the beach

Although Butlins was great, one of the best times was a visit with my son to the deserted beach.

Not another soul in sight! Just a few seagulls in the distance.

Perhaps you can tell just by looking at the pictures, how cold and blowy it was!

We briefly considered having a dip in the water ... but neither of us really meant it.

Our Butlins experience

We have just returned from our halfterm break in Butlins, Skegness.
Having never 'done' Butlins before, it was certainly a new experience - but we enjoyed the hussle and bussle, the ever-smiling Redcoats, the indoor swimming pool, the variety of food in the restaurant etc, etc.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and not having a TV at home we endulged in a little day-time TV!

Unfortunately we all came down with a bad cold, and I could have done with hedgewitch's Elderflower tea: http://earth-and-tree.blogspot.com/
