Today was sunny, warm, and a wee bit blowy and all together perfect for England's end of summer national bank holiday.
Apparently, there are eight English national holidays this year, which include New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day (which is just the day after X-mas, I guess). The other holidays, like today's bank holiday are officially proclaimed by royal proclamation each year. Cool! This process is due to the Banking and Financial Dealings Act of 1971.
As I mentioned, the weather was well nice, and all the people with the day off of work decided to take advantage and enjoy the beach. I've notice this before, but English people like to bring their own little wind-breaking shields, which are just colorful plastic walls staked into the sand, and tents to the beach. Kinda of strange, right? I've never seen this before in the States.

that's pretty interesting, i've seen little tents for kids out here.. i dont see many beach umbrellas, maybe they use the walls and tents as we do with umbrellas-ellas-ellas, eh eh eh :P
ReplyDeleteyeah, there are not that many umbrella so i was thinking the same thing. it's still funny, the beach looks like a camp ground or something...

ReplyDeleteThis is pretty interesting and beaches are no doubt always fun to be in. And when it is an occasion of a holiday, the joy of being together with one’s own family simply doubles up. And yes this makes for one amazing sights when people come with their own tents and it just come across to be one big camp ground. It’s fun! Celebrity travel.
