More Christmas Beach Antics

30 December 2008 by Tim 6 Comments

Some photos from our walk on Sunday. Bracing would describe it with an icy East wind off the sea. Big and Small loved running on the beach and scampering up and down the groynes. We finished off with hot chocolate when we got back to my brother’s house.

    I think the ad was probably pulled some time in the early seventies. I have looked on Youtube and couldn’t find it. It was very simple, a shot of feet hurrying through rain or snow, with voices repeating “hot chocolate, drinking chocolate” in time with the steps and ending with a shot of a steaming mug of the stuff.
