Portsmouth as a city is really beginning to make me love it.. It's got lots of little quirks, such as the amusement arcades on Clarence Peir and random little ornate bandstands in the middle of a patch of grass right by the sea front [see images]. Yesterday we went for quite a long walk (partly to browse charity shops -raided their books: 3 for £5, bargain! &donated one back! unfortunately no cute tea cups/pictures/clothes to be found...next time?!) On the way back we walked along the prom and enjoyed the afternoon sunshine...
...Today Tim & I went and sat on the beach~there's this little enclosed area with two large sea walls that totally shelter you from the breeze, and here the 20degree heat (totally unexpected in October!) felt more like 25, it was absolutely the best place to spend a Sunday afternoon relaxing with a book. And..of course I was tempted by an ice cream, hurrah for the conveniently placed van on the esplanade just 20paces behind the wall! If only the sunshine would stay warm throughout winter I really would think this was the best place I could be in the world for this year! (image of T & I: We may have been Lizards in a past life)
Anyone got any thoughts on the best place in the world?
