As we have a spot of summer again, we decided to make a day trip to the beach. We drove to Clacton in Essex, via lots of nice villages. Clacton is a typical British beach resort, quite tacky in places (you feel like you're in an episode of EastEnders), but has a long beach. We first sat down and had a picnic near the pier, where the beach wasnt great, but still nice. Then we walked along the promenade and got to the other end where there was lots of white sand. And a beach rugby competition. Vera had a great time exploring the sand, people watching and snacking.
On our way back we stopped in a place called Halstead and went to Prezzo for dinner. as it was just before 5 the place was very quiet and we had a very nice waiter. Child friendly place, with a kids menu, colouring books and pens. Vera had garlic bread with cheese, pizza and finished off with a bit of vanilla ice cream, all fed by herself. It was a day of celebration after all!
