A Day in Portsmouth

It has been quite some time before we went for our so-called Day Out. When we were in Dundee, we always went for a short trip every week - not necessarily far but just to enjoy the countryside, looking for farm shops or looking for the best Fish n Chips (so far, the best is still Marco in Arbroath!) or just having some picnic by the beach (our favourite is Stonehaven and to some extend St. Andrews) or in the woods (the Hermitage for example).

Anyway, Luton is not within easy reach of the beach, such, the request for a day at the beach by the children resulted in us contemplating whether to go to Brighton or Portsmouth.  Since we have been to Brighton, the decision was soon made.

And of course our first destination is the beach front :


At last! After nearly 8 months, we finally get to the beach!


Happy Faces :-D

No! This is not a Mascot


Oh Dear! A nice car (Lotus Elan?) But so so well-fitting pants!

Well, of course when you reached Spinnaker Tower, you just have to check out the Gunwharf Quays - in it?
