Days By The Sea ~ August 2013 #1

 

Here I am in our little caravan by the sea, actually blogging.  It's only taken them 6 years to sort some internet signal out here in Skipsea.  I had to change networks when I heard that this one was possibly going to provide some coverage.  I anxiously waited and...yes there it was, the little 3G sign. It's a bit hit and miss but a huge improvement so I am very happy.  I am a bit of a social media addict :)

 

August is the best month for our Days By The Sea. We really, really love them :) I am praying that they go very slowly!

I like to get up early and take my cup of tea outside.  I've always thought that early mornings at the coast are the best time of day. We had a caravan when I was growing up. One of the things I remember is getting up early and walking to the little seafront shop with my dad and brother for a pint of milk and a newspaper. I still do this some mornings but the little seafront shop now sells freshly baked crossiants, pain au chocolat etc and the smell when you walk in is sooooo good. But not so good when you are trying to be healthy.  I do have a little treat now and again.

Days By The Sea ~ July 2013

I love the 6 weeks summer holidays.  We spend it going back and forth to the caravan and it is such a pleasure to be at the coast.  We are enjoying some actual summer weather for once here in the UK and it is lovely spending so much time outdoors.  We do a lot of cliff top and beach walking, breathing in the fresh sea air. Then stopping for a pub or picnic lunch because as everyone knows, the sea air makes you hungry!

Do you think there is enough tuna on this sandwich?

Salmon salad, lovely pub lunch

We were expecting some bad weather, everyday the forecast said rain but it didn't and remained gloriously sunny & warm.  We only had one thunder storm in the early evening but luckily we were back in the caravan preparing tea when this happened. (I say lucky but if you've ever been in a caravan during a thunder storm you will know how bloomin' scary it is!)

It was soon over and the next morning we were back to sitting outside for an early breakfast.

We are back home now for a few days while Mr Fuzz goes into work and I tackle the mountain of washing, ironing and cleaning that needs to be done.  It's a small price to pay :)

I have just ordered a new dongle so I live in hope that I may even be able to get some actual signal and use the internet at the caravan.  I do miss it!
