The seaside came to the Midlands

An idea borrowed from the Paris Plage and greatly enjoyed by children living far from the sea. The paddling pool, beach huts and sand pit in this local town centre were very busy in this afternoon's sun.

Still trying to sort out the laptop problems that started in France. While the laptop seems to be working again after a reset to factory settings and I have started to reload programmes, the modem is on the blink - or I should say blinking when it shouldn't! Blinking thing! I really haven't any more time to spend on it, so fingers crossed it will behave itself until the new modem arrives in the post.
