English seaside weekend par excellence



So, my hen weekend was the perfect English summer seaside weekend. Beautiful weather, sunburn and laughs with some of my favourite girls. It started with fish and chips on the beach.


It also featured the funfair on the pier, beach picnics and an early-morning run along the promenade.


Plenty of shopping along the way, including some beautiful turquoise sandals with gold trim, from Yoma in North Laines, and some Space Invaders at 3am on Sunday morning.


Champagne-fuelled pottery painting at the Painting Pottery Cafe, with the theme of... me....


It ended with fresh prawns, cockles, whelks, mussals, a couple of oysters and a pickled herring for good measure, on the front. And a sunburnt back.


When can I come back? A vintage weekend.

The sea, the sea!


Calme, luxe et volupté for 48 hours in the Pas de Calais. We did swim in the sea. It wasn't very warm even in the blazing sun, but this is the Channel and it was never going to be. And just to rub it in that we had great weather, it has rained in Paris ever since.



The tractors used to take the boats out, faster than you'd think...
