| Despite lovely weather there was plenty of room on the beach |
It was a lovely day and we decided that it was time that we visited the seaside. Whichever seaside you visit from where we live it will be a fair old journey. Great Yarmouth may not be everyone's cup of tea as some people find it a bit brash but we like it for the odd day out. As we will be hiring a boat on the Norfolk Broads in the next few weeks we also took the opportunity to visit the boat yard and ask a few questions The actual boat that will have was out on hire but the yard still had some great looking boats on display....

Although it was a normal school day there did appear to be quite a few children with their parents in Yarmouth, maybe they had found the recent change in weather irresistible. I must admit that we find the arcades quite an attraction although if we spend as much as 50p all day I'd be surprised. On our favourite machines are those that push 2p's off shelves, it's amazing how long you can make a small amount last!
Julie remembers going on the Snail ride as a child and we always go to have a look to see if it's still there. So far yet another generation of kids seem to be getting just as much enjoyment from it......
The off shore (a far better place for them than being a blot on some country scene!) wind farm is clearly seen from Yarmouth with the two Piers giving the best views...
The Britannia Pier is home to a number of summer shows, unfortunately they all seem to only be on in the height of mid summer when we are elsewhere.
The donkey rides are as popular as ever...
After a fun day out in the sun we stopped at the Rushcutters, a pub at Thorpe, on the outskirts of Norwich, for a very nice meal....
A great ending to a great day!
