The Beach is Back !!

Although the idea of a sunny summer seems very Alien this year, the beach is on it's way back to Nottingham City Centre.

Slowly decking, fairground rides and sand are making an appearance and hopefully the sun will come.

School holidays have just started and the opening of  the beach has been put back a day because of the bad weather that has been with us for the last few weeks.

This photo was taken yesterday with more storm clouds coming in, hopefully today the sun will shine and everything will be up and running...watch this space.

BTW I have just read my post for this evet last year which reads pretty much the same about the weather!!!

What a difference a day makes!!

The beach is BACK!!

Nottingham by the Sea

On the way to the Guild meeting, I sneaked up on the beach and caught it still fast asleep!

Also I spotted some of Nottingham's police horses on their way to the annual Pride festival, all dressed up and shiny.

These photos have also made me realise that my camera is beginning to get a bit tired so I'm going to start to shop around for a new one, looking at a Canon at the moment, any recommendations would be welcomed.

or a big pile of sand in the square! I have to admit that they have done a good job and it was certainly very busy when I wondered down yesterday. Sort of gave this city of ours a sunny feel that you don't normally find here. Since they rehashed the market square a couple of years ago, they are now beginning to discover its potential as an entertainment venue. We have had music concerts, a big wheel, ice skating rink ( the scene of my downfall) and the fountains have a constant stream of kids playing in them as soon as the weather warms up.



putting it all together
