Family things to do in the winter - Annual Southwold Pier trip

Every year whilst visiting my in laws at Christmas, a few members of the family take out annual trip to Southwold Pier. To be honest I am not really a lover, its always cold and windy and I live close to a beach so its not a big deal, but the family all go and it can sometimes be a bit of a laugh. The kids enjoy it at least and my mother in law gets a bit of piece whilst all the family are out. Its also inexpensive and good to get a bit of fresh air!


I have never been to Southwold in the summer, think it would be alot nicer than the winter, but it is still busy people enjoying some chips and looking round the little shops and quirky arcades on the pier. It was a lovely sunny day a little chilly but the fresh air and sea air was lovely.




We had some chips and then had a walk on the pier, Ami loved it she wanted to go in the sea, she maybe could remember the summer and going in the sea. I didnt let her near I did not trust she could stay away reminded me of when I was a child me and my sister got coats for Christmas and went in the sea wearing them on boxing day. Hardcore then wouldn't catch me anywhere near it now!!!


We then headed to a park where the kids all played I complained my feet were cold, Ami tried to steal the local youths ball, and Pants slid down the ramps at the skate park. Anything but spend anymore time in arcades I can not stand them makes me want to wash my hands constantly (yes i know i am a bit weird!!)

  4. The beach is fab anytime of the year and great for blowing away the cobwebs. It looks like you had a lovely bright dry day and I do love wandering around the pier and the shops as well. Lovely family pics of you all enjoying the day, thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.

  7. I love walking by the sea, it's always so beautiful and peaceful (well, without the kids it's peaceful). When we left Gib I thought I would never thought I would like to see a sea ever again, but now I find I really miss it! The photos are great.
