Today, we went to the seaside.

Bexhill-On-Sea, in fact. One of my more favourite places. A lovely, quiet seaside down, with a lovely art deco pavillion that has seen plenty of gigs I never went to. Bexhill only has around two streets. And, somewhat surprisingly, was chosen for the name of the apocalyptic holding pen that was decimated at the end of the rather brilliant Children Of Men.

The picture above is of us, my son and I, throwing stones into the sea. One of his favourite ever things. And here are some more :

Promenade

What is this unusual thing? Answers on a postcard.

When he is older, this will make a great cover photograph for a record or an autobiography.

Playing with fountains.

And again. This was the most fun he'd had in days.

Time for a drink.

And another!

On the other hand this is a great, silly work of art

We came back to Bexhill.

"Hang On A Minute Lads... I've Got A Great Idea..."

The De La Warr Pavillions most ambitious work yet - full details

This is the full view directly underneath in an access corridor. Quite an unusual view

View from the stairs.

I love Britain. Where else would this type of thing happen?

You will notice the picture quality takes a slightly dull sheen at a certain point : I had to switch from my usual Panasonic Lumix to a HTC Legend Cameraphone, which I frankly despise, but the Lumix lens was misbehaving and I had to recalibrate it - not something you really can do when pressed for time in a rainstorm at the seaside.
