Tropical Scarborough on a blisteringly hot Autumn Day.

Forget the ice cream, hot soup was the order of the day.

Not sure if it was just the weather but when I offered to buy one of the brightly coloured beach hutches, Hawklad firmly declined…. The huts cost between about £70,000 to £160,000. You can rent them as well, Peak times set you back something like £300 for a week. For that you get a few kitchen items, a sink, deckchairs, use of the shared public toilets and free pet seagulls.

Peak includes Christmas, Wow that would be a brave call. Not sure the paper party hats would stay on too long with the inevitable Winter North Sea skin shredding sand blasting wind and icy horizontal rain.

Walking along the beach we passed a few groups of teenagers clearly starting the Half Term Break with some beach fun. I couldn’t help think about how Hawklad might view these scenes. It’s a part of teenage life that has so far eluded him, spending far too much time with his ancient relic of a Dad. Not sure those teenagers would spend too much time discussing beach huts…..

  5. Whenever I’ve seen them they’ve been overflowing with grannies putting the kettle on and handing out the butties. Not quite that scene for you and it’s a bit miserable trailing around in the damp. Soup sounds like a good idea. It’s cool and damp here today, too, not that that’s any consolation.

  11. The free pet seagulls would’ve sealed the deal for me!

    You and Hawklad have a beautiful bond, Gary. Certain things may be different in his adolescent journey, but he also has a truly beautiful bond that many others don’t as well.
