The simple pleasures...

That's a lot of serious photographic kit to be bringing ashore for just the one afternoon. We, on the other hand, are content with the phone's camera and a bag with some more desirable items: a flask, baguette, tin mugs, sun cream, swimming things and, of course, a bar of chocolate.

Happy days.

A grand day out...

Small daughter on a donkey at Cleethorpes. You could say it was heavily laden with Christian symbolism: the beast of burden carrying the chosen one, the fish suppers symbolising the feeding of the five thousand, souls to be saved from the evils of gambling away their savings on the penny falls, candy floss as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of the soul...or you could get a grip and have a 99.
