Santa at the seaside....

Finally a fog free day! Still not very sunny, but it will do!  And another quick visit to Southend for a few little bits, including a new diary, so the one I've been hunting for that I'm sure I bought a while back will now definitely show up!

The shops weren't very busy at all, but lots of children were heading to the Adventure Island theme park, where this Santa was standing watch at the foot of the pier! We had a lovely mug of tea at one of the cafes right opposite the pier
