I’ve always puzzled by people’s enthusiasm about sea in Britain, as far as my memory goes. Yet I have never given up the hope to find out what drives millions to the seaside towns every year, despite the cold, the wind, the not so great donkey rides and mediocre fish & chips.

So I took a day out to a seaside town that I heard so much about but never visited – Scarborough.

According to the BBC forecast, April Fool’s day was the only day with clear sky and a bit of sun, whether that was a deliberate attempt to celebrate the occasion or not, I could only find out when I get there.

By 8.30am, I got to the sea front, and it was sunny! Great visibility with little cloud, yet somehow I felt the wind was trying to blow me all the way back to Manchester! I knew there was a catch somewhere but wind never crossed my mind …

Here is the only shot I took with my digital camera throughout the day, I did it only to check the exposure because I left my light meter behind :(

I will share the rest once the films come back from the lab, there will be plenty more stories to come, including an amazing journey of a sand sculptor, who managed to build his entire fortune (7 digits) using two hands, a handful of tools, buckets, water and sand!

Watch this space :D
