I do like to be beside the seaside

Howdy. I'm back from a two day mini break at the seaside. This morning I was walking on the beach at Mablethorpe. It was a bit blustery.   

Yesterday I met up with my best friend Carol at Alford, Lincolnshire. She was coming across from Blackpool to go to a funeral. It was a good chance for us to get together. We speak on the phone quite a bit. I haven't been to Blackpool for a while. The last time was when they got all the old trams out on the Promenade. 

Carol had booked herself into the Half Moon Hotel, so I rang up and luckily they had a room for me. 

The breakfast layout this morning. 

It was a very nice dining room. We had a lovely meal last night. It was raining so we didn't go out anywhere. A jolly good catch up and a little tipple. 

I can recommend The Half Moon. The owners and their staff were smashing, very friendly people. Everywhere was clean and tidy. Here is a link to the web site if you are ever in need of accommodation in Alford. 

Now I have some photos to sort out, plus two videos to get onto yoootoob. I climbed a spiral staircase to the top of a church tower, and I watched the seals on the seashore. We'll catch up soon. 

Toodle pip.   ilona
