I must go down to the sea again...

Ever since well into the lockdown, this has been my mantra, from the poem by John Masefield "Sea Fever".  Well yesterday we finally made it!  A trip to Cleethorpes, just for the day out.  We had a great time.  (Remember this is November so there was no paddling or sunbathing!). 

We had lunch at a Pub/Hotel, the-wellow-hotel  which was so good the wife wrote a review.  

Then it was down to the promenade where I actually got out with my camera.  First, the rain had stopped.  Next, the wind hadn't!  It was an east coast lazy wind, doesn't go round you but through you.  But I did get some pics and I did see the sea.  I took some boat pics albeit at a good distance.




These boats are being busy.  I think one is a tug and the other is being towed.



This is a breakwater that just goes on and on...

and a turnstone for luck








After the prom, we returned to the Wellow for afters and hot drink.  Then home.
