Southend-on-Sea

Coby and I made a spur of the moment trip to Southend on Sea one Friday. It seemed to take forever to drive there and it has changed somewhat since I was a kid, but it was reassuring to see the old Crooked House was still there, even though it needs a lick of paint!!! Coby loves the beach and the weather was beautiful. We enjoyed fish and chips for lunch and while we were waiting for our food, Al text me to ask if we were up for fish and chips that evening! I didn't reveal we were about to tuck into round one and we DID end up having seconds with our friends Marc and Daniella later that evening. Coby and I enjoyed the rides at Adventure Island including the Big Wheel, Pharaoh's Fury and Devil's Creek Gold Mine....

Arriving on the sea front

Now, lets get to work...

...while the tide is out

Coby & Mum's creation

I volunteer to have my feet buried

Breathing in the salty Southend air
Patiently waiting for fish and chips!

Not sure about the Ferris Wheel

Not quite the yacht mum had in mind
