Out of season

A long weekend in a seaside town in February

The arcades were shut, the chippy was open and the wind came sideways off the sea. Perfect, honestly.

The pier, at low tide.
An English beach in winter is the most honest place I know.

A walk along the shingle that took twice as long as planned, because the light kept changing.

Cliffs on the way back.
