title A Trip to The Beach, Southwold, Suffolk - 7th March 2010 intro It's a nice day which is seemingly the first that actually coincides with a weekend for several months, so we head over to Southwold to see the sea. It's that sort of day where it's about minus 20°C in the wind, but positively balmy when sheltered. We manage to squeeze in some sort of picnic on the promenade, where we even bump in to The Boy Phil's parents who are also out for the day. imgp0114 Little paintings on the door of a beach hut imgp0115 Isobel eats some chips imgp0116 Fred negotiates the café tables imgp0119 Fred the Head and Isobel on the prom imgp0120 Fred gets a bit of yoghurt imgp0128 Roaming around, in a hat imgp0132 Fred and Isobel take a stroll imgp0133 On the pier imgp0137 Fred and Isobel in the sun imgp0144 Fly Drive, in the Under the Pier show imgp0146 Fred peers in to one of Tim Hunkin's newer contraptions imgp0148 Fred watches Rent-a-Dog imgp0149 Fred runs about imgp0152 Fred on the pier imgp0153 Murky sea, and lots of parallel lines imgp0155 Fred reaches up to the flashing lights imgp0158 Fred has a go at video street-racing imgp0160 Isobel and Fred in the amusement arcade imgp0169 Fred plays Wacky Ducks imgp0172 "Quack quack" is on the list of new words imgp0174 Fred looks glum in his buggy imgp0175 Back home, there's a rather striking aircraft contrail in the evening sky
