A beautiful Bournemouth Evening

My beloved and myself had a drive across to Bournemouth today .. My Birthday treat a day early! We had to be back Monday before 4pm for Stephen to have a blood test before his operation on Wednesday...
I have been to Bournemouth before on the way back from Devon and i think it was raining so if i remember correctly we stopped in town had a lunch then carried on with our journey..
This time we were booked in to the Savoy Hotel for one evening only... We arrived around 2pm booked ourselves in then headed down to the beach for the afternoon. I would say Bournemouth has one of the best sandy beaches in this country.. Had a picnic lunch a sunbathe and a lovely swim... My third swim of the year and Stephens first....
As i was drifting off to sleep listening to the sound of summer i heard a tune which sounded like an ice cream van.. I sat up and was suprised to see not a four wheeled vehicle but an ice cream boat heading towards the shoreline... How amazing is that!!! I've posted pics HERE
After going back to the hotel which was at the top of the slope so not far away! we showered and changed then had a lovely walk before dinner.. I am pretty impressed with Bournemouth and can't wait to visit again soon....
