Today is New Years Day, which means my husband was off work. If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know he loves to get out as I do…. Once I have been convinced to leave my house.
Today obviously a lot of things were closed. But NOT the beach! Seriously I could not think of a better place to go on the 1/1/2010 in Winter with snow on the ground. I was interested to see if the Ocean had frozen over, it hadn’t so I couldn’t walk to Ostend today.
On the way there the kids were a fucking nightmare I asked husband to turn around 3457 times as I was getting so stressed out, so he pulled over and I did something I NEVER do and I bought chocolate for the kids and Jelly Tots I am going to hell, I never give my kids this stuff. But it worked their jaws got stuck together with the Jelly tots and I got 30 mins peace and quiet and we were nearly at our Destination which was Broadstairs .
It was allegdly 3C but the stupid, stupid people at the weather centre have obviously not left their office to check their weather stations as it was actually -18C and with the wind chill -67C and gloriously sunny.
Jerry refused to wear gloves. I didn’t check but I hope he still has all his fingers as mine were snapping off after an hour of playing and taking photo’s which I did a lot of.
We then went to this chavtastic pavillion place and were acutally shocked they served very decent food, really good. I haven’t thrown up once. Always a risk in a a chavtastic eatery.
That’s a paddling pool. Just before we got this close a person got out they had been swimming in there, obviously they had escaped from the local lunatic asylum.
Normally when we take a day trip, we leave early and head home early, but today we were all a bit tired and I was in a hellish mood so we didn’t actually leave until 12.47 and got there at 2.20ish. What was nice was the sun setting and dipping down it gave a nice pink sky for us.
The drive home was nice Jerry slept and snored and Eliza played with her ponies and complained about how un-comfy she was until I said, shall I take the ponies and do you want a chocolate finger?
Go on get out, you might enjoy it and freeze to death but it will be fun!
I am 33 British/Australian love to travel and see new things and take photographs I have two children and I am expecting my 3rd. I met my husband back in 1997 he was my holiday romance, 8 months later and some visa issues I left the UK and we moved in together!
