Coffee by the sea at Cleethorpes.

Seaside towns are full of brightly coloured shop fronts to entice the holiday makers to come inside. On Christmas Day none of them were open. Amusement arcades, slot machines, Bingo, fish and chip shops, ice cream and sweet treats, all make a fun day out but not very good for your health. 

These rides on the sands have seen better days. What an eyesore, and not at all safe to play on. The Big Wheel, Helter Skelter, and the Roller Coaster look like they are about to collapse. The support legs are rusted all the way through on some of them. Perhaps they have plans to remove them during the winter shut down.  

There are some strange wooden structures on the promenade. The seats are obviously for sitting on, but I don't know why anyone would want to do exercises on the benches in full view of everyone. Strange idea. 

I finished my visit by having a cup of coffee before the drive home. I was so lucky with the weather.  

Today, it has been thick fog, cold and damp, all day. I did a couple of present deliveries in the village, that's all. That's Boxing Day done and dusted. I was going to do some housework and got as far as sweeping the kitchen floor, then lost interest. A coffee and a natter with my friend seemed a better idea. 

Thanks for popping in. We'll catch up soon. Toodle pip.   ilona
