The work on the house is continuing at a good pace. The plasterer and plumber have finished and most of Wednesday was spent disposing of the rubble they kindly left us. I've been itching to start taking photographs since we arrived in February, and yesterday with no urgent housey jobs to do I decided to take a drive and take a photo.I have written a long list of photo ideas that I'll explore over the coming months, but yesterday I just wanted to take a walk somewhere new and use up some film. The day was cold with high cloud and flat lighting, typical for this time of year.
After 2 hours driving I found myself on the Suffolk coast at Southwold, a seaside town that, except for the cafe's and shops, hasn't changed since Queen Victoria ruled the empire. There are very few visitors in March and I hardly saw a soul. I spent 2 very pleasant hours walking along the promenade and beach, had cheese on toast in a cafe and took about 40 photographs.
The beach huts are a delight, evoking childhood memories for me, but they now cost about the same as a small 2 bedroom apartment. The photograph above is available from my Etsy shop.
So it's back to work now, laying floors. See you soon.

Love the photograph.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the continuing remodel, I understand it well.
I like this photo. I am saving up (or maybe waiting til my summer birthday) to purchase a photograph or 2. It's on my wish list. :)
ReplyDeleteThe thing about beach huts is that even those of us who did not have them in our childhoods feel as if we did. I love this beautiful photograph.
ReplyDeleteI like this picture very much. My aunt used to rent a beach hut throughout the year when I was small and we would all go up there to spend the day. The grown ups would sit in the wind on deck chairs and make pots of tea, while the children ran ragged up and down the beach. I loved it. Very happy days.
