Who moved the signposts?

After a bit of a slow start to the day with me dithering over just how far Aldeburgh actually is from here, I decided on taking mother to Holland on Sea instead.
After humping the wheelchair into the boot of the courtesy car and shoe horning mother into the front of the car, I set off to collect Ann as she has the task of pushing mother around and holding me up at the same time. Quickly had the car washed on the way to the garage, as I should hopefully be giving it back tomorrow, then filled it up with petrol and away we went to Holland on Sea for a jolly day.
And we ended up in Frinton. Not quite sure how that happened as I swear I followed the signs religiously and we did actually drive through Great Holland, but no sea just lots and lots of fields!
Frinton is good though, in fact I was very impressed just how good it is. The beach, once we found our way down to it, was really beautiful, sandy and very clean.
We couldn't convince mother to come for a paddle as it was quite a walk to the waters edge, so she sat and watched while Ann and I made our way down to the waters edge like two fat ladies off the old jolly postcards that we used to send. The water was quite clear and clean too ad actually once you got over the initial shock of nearly peeing your pants because it was so cold and letting out a few expletives, it was quite lovely. If it had been a few degrees hotter, I would have really been tempted to do more than paddle with my trouser legs rolled up to my knees.
We watched rather clever chappies holding on to very large kites while being attached to skates boards and surfboards whilst being dragged along and hurtled in the air accompanied by us going 'Woo,' we are easily impressed obviously!
After Ann nearly putting her back out pushing mother back up the slopes to the car park and me dragging myself up the steps, we went off for lunch is a rather cute cafe. In fact the whole day was cute and oldie woldie and even though it wasn't Oludeniz beach in Turkey, it was very, very nice. A lovely day.

Lots of love Debbie x
