To the beach?

Challenge number three! - Go to a beach and swim

I have to admit from the start that we didn't exactly achieve this one, but we certainly tried.

We put on our costumes, tshirts, shorts and took jumpers towels and thick socks to change into. Being February in the UK it wasn't exactly going to be like the Mediterranean.
As we drove through the town we saw how rough the sea was and as we pulled up and got out we saw what prevented us from achieving our challenge: red flags!

We climbed the dunes, sand blowing everywhere in the rough winds and admitted to ourselves that it wasn't going to happen, not today at any rate.

So we went to the arcade instead! And had a much better afternoon, found a machine where you win tickets everytime and won over 1,000 tickets between us, spent about a tenner altogether and won quite a good haul if I do say so myself.

We will try again if we have the time, but I only have a few weeks left so it's not looking likely.
