Here's some more pics of Margate taken from our stroll around the town.

Abandoned since 2005, almost all of Margate's Dreamland amusement park has been swept away, with just the cinema and part of the Scenic Railway surviving.

Some photos from our walk around Broadstairs in Kent, yesterday afternoon. I love walking around seaside towns out of season! 

The weather was really dramatic when we were there - one minute it would be freezing cold and hammering down with hail, and minutes later the sun was out!

More pics soon!

Some photos from my Christmas trip to Porthcawl, on the south Wales coast. It was chuffing freezing!


The lighthouse, which dates back to 1860.


Lifeguard's lookout tower.


The 1930s Pavilion.
