A Summer day in the UK

Beautiful day today, we left early with no jackets, did an eight k walk around wetlands. First we saw remote controlled sail boats on the water.
Six guys were on the footpath, seriously concentraing on operating their boats around three bouys. We continued on around and over the bridge so we were on the other side.
These were very popular, £3.50 for 30 minutes, kayaks were £5 for the same time.
A clock with four faces dominated the foreshore.
Unfortunately we saw a lot of people around lunch time, who we think will be very very sore tomorrow. It seems the sun is quite rare and people dont use sunscreen that much. Lots of shirts off, many women were in dresses, more dresses than I have seen in a long time.

Deck chairs were out along the promenade but they too were a hire thing, £2.20 for the day, guess it does save bringing their own. Parking is such a nightmare here that it seems that people park a few kilometres away and then catch a bus. We saw buses heading to a spot about 5kms away and called park and ride.
These are the streets around, most cars are parked with only about a foot to spare. Our guest house has a parking permit and we are parked in the street about a block away.
