Morcambe, A Day Out
7:13 am
Yesterday was my birthday, and I decided I wanted to see Morcambe. Actually, I quite fancied afternoon tea at the recently refurbished, art deco Midland Hotel, but the reality of afternoon tea in a nice hotel with five children in tow put paid to that idea, and we took along our usual birthday picnic.
Daddy's excellent leek and potato quiche, with a mug of hot tea from a kiosk on the sea front, eaten of course in the car in the rain!
After the picnic, we donned wellies and raincoats for a play in Happy Mount Park.
The sun did decide to shine eventually, for the obligatory photos with Eric.
We couldn't resist one of Eric and Ernie..
Ernest even got his first play on a beach. (wearing his new Mummy made reversable dungarees.)
And you know something? I had a pretty good day. x
