Bit of Sun and the English go Mad

Yesterday saw the first proper bit of sun of the year and so TOH and I headed off to the beach. I got to discover Tynemouth which is a gorgeous place with the most wonderful set of ickle hippy shops in a disused church, The Land of Green Ginger. Whilst in there we had a woman get her twigs out and ask if we wanted a reading, (and no there is no inuendo).

After doing the middle class cultural bit going round the priory we headed to the beach and decided to engage in a bit of paddling. Note here: I now live in the North East and it's still only early April, yes that does mean I was completely mad to even contemplate doing this....it was rather cold. Still atleast I didn't have a Saville Row jacket on doing it, unlike a certain somebody who likes to take surrealness to new heights.
