I took the girlies to Littlehampton yesterday (the 'real, sandy beach Daddy') while Mrs H selflessly finished the gloss work on the stairs (= true).
We were struck by this café on the East Beach and well done I thought to the I imagine not especially radical local council for commissioning it; and lo, it turns out to be incredibly famous and in one of those thrilling coincidences we love in life is even in the paper today. It has a posh restaurant inside, but we mistook the long line of people waiting to be seated for a queue for takeaway chips, so we passed it by for the hotdog stand further down - by the lighthouse, which we also rather liked.
[Sorry, rubbishy picture from my phone - no competition here for Dane].We came back tired and sunsplashed, with wet jeans and a plastic bucket full of shells, as is the tradition.
And the bannisters looked lovely.

ReplyDeleteShe thanks you Dickie; she is a bit tired and emulsional.
ReplyDeleteooooh that's another bit of seaside on my list. gee but i do like the seaside so - hopefully getting a bit of blackpool in next week. i don't mind a spot of painting neither but that must've been one determined woman...

tired and emulsional - i just got it. sorry to be so slow. i bet that whole post was just an excuse for that line.

One determined woman? Yes, it's best to get out of the way, I find.
ReplyDeleteI think you would like that cafe. They also have a miniature railway and a crazy golf and a pond with pedalos.
Mind you, it being the South Coast I expect they also have Tories.
You are right about the pun, tragically x
Aw. I saw your little kind remark there. *blush*
ReplyDeleteAlso, you do fine. Love that first one!
Me too! If only I'd taken it...
ReplyDeletethe food in the cafe is dead good. we went there last year. We like Littlehampton but it always seems to rain when we go. We're off to Southwold this weekend to try and find some sun
