Surprise Day Out!!


Well I was working today as usual and thinking I was gonna be stuck in a hot office whilst everybody else was enjoying the warm sunny day

But I got to work today to be told a company car that had been issued to one of our staff was assigned to our Broadstairs office and it had to be collected. I volunteered to help get the car so a trip to the seaside was the plan of the day

Broadstairs is a lovely coastal town in Kent about 45 minutes drive from my town so we headed off. Collected the car, had a drink in a pub, went down to the seafront and took some pics for the Catpagers:





And then to a really nice place for fresh fish and chips!!!

Didnt spend a penny and had a good day out!!!

Yes its a paddling pool built into the rocks. It was covered by the tide when we walked back through the town but I havent been to the seaside for years so was a nice surprise (think my Manager feels a bit sorry for me TBH but I dont mind as was a good day )

Wouldn't mind coming in on an occasional Saturday to work if it was something like that.
Well-deserved break for you!

Was lovely and warm, but a bit cooler on the coast as the sea wind was blowing a fair bit!!! But enjoyed the day nonetheless!

Re: Surprise Day Out!!


A surprise day out is often the best kind . . . even if it IS work related!

The seaside looks lovely . . . the pool is a wonderful idea
