Nina's Blog - Wednesday 3rd July 2024

I think my plans for today need a rethink. I was intending to visit Spanish City by public transport and to wear something a bit more suited to the place than, for instance, a denim miniskirt. Perhaps this dress from May this year in Tetbury

or this from May 2022 in Brighton

with the less practical hat from the first picture

But it's raining and the forecast for Whitley bay is for a maximum of 17 C with a 7 m/s breeze. I was intending to wear the red heels too but I don't want to get them wet.

It's going to be drier and sunnier but even colder and with a stronger breeze, 11 m/s with a maximum temperature of 15 C!

I don't have a coat I could wear over any of my dresses, they just wouldn't look right. So I'll have to rethink the outfit.

Arrived at Spanish City about forty minutes ago. Now I'm in the champagne bar having a pint of Atlantic Pale Ale and a quite good cheese scone.

The clientele don't look quite so much like the background of an episode of Poirot today, too many men in modern walking jackets. And the waitresses are all wearing trousers. Mind you each one is twice the width of the young lady who served me my cake last time so perhaps it's just as well that they aren't wearing miniskirts.

The three women at the next table are drinking something sparkly with a raspberry in each glass, so that's in keeping with the style of the place.

@oldundieslover I'll try to be more observant on the way out. Time to walk off my pint. Back online later.

Missing you,

@oldundieslover Found it. It was just above the words that I did find. It's too big to get a good picture of without at least a stepladder. A drone would be best!

Anyway here is a selection of not very good pictures
