Bob asked me if i had any ideas for a short family break by the sea down my way .
Now i owe Bob a big favour , i've been after a 18-200 for months and he kindly let me have his reservation as he did'nt need one now , it arrived this morning .
I know it's only a small thing but it would have been easy to just cancell and not go to the trouble of phoning them and changing it to my name , so a public thanks Bob .
As i can't link photo's to PM's i've stuck them in here to show.
Remember not all were taken in the summer , in fact most were in the early spring hence the empty beaches , but you'll get some idea .
in order

Dymchurch .
Herne Bay
Joss Bay ,Ramsgate .
Ramsgate.
Broadstairs .
I also suggested Margate (Blackpool of the south) , but have'nt any shots .
much too crowded .

Thanks Brian - it's good to know you got one eventually - now you need to come up to Oxford and try it out (and a pub or two!).

I like the idea of a donkey ride on the beach - not for me of course - it's legs would split 4 ways!

I'll be up next month Bob , find a decent one .
Thanks Igor , just noticed the horizons slanted (get that in before Robin views it).

Brian.
PS Bob all those with the exception of Joss bay have plentyof B&B's and hotels , but with the school holidays most will be booked , it'll be a balancing act to find one after the hols but before the season ends .
If i can help , bell me .
