Minster - On - Sea

This Saturday May the 10th I drove down to Minster-on-Sea where my Brother Mark and his gorgeous Wife Hayley reside.
Mark and Hayley headed off early on Saturday departing from Gatwick to the Sunny warm beaches of Barbados !! I’m very jealous !!
Hayley’s Sister Emma is getting Married this week and having a beach ceremony which I’m sure will be truly magnificent.
Hayley will be her Bridesmaid and can’t wait to see there photo’s on their return not to mention the golden sun tans they’ll be showing off.

I headed over to their house to meet up with my Mum and spend the rest of the weekend with her.
After being stuck in the typically English traffic for two hours I managed to get to Minster where the weather was stunning.
We had a glorious weekend of sunshine so I managed to get into my swim suit and try soak up a few ray’s of sunshine on my incredibly pale skin !
I’m currently looking a lovely shade of pale blue after Winter, I think I’m actually transparent it’s that bad….
Mum and I also headed over and did some grocery shopping and made a BBQ ( Braai for my fellow South Africans ).
Mark and Hayley have a great garden area that gets sun all day long which is quite rare in this country.
Mark has recently had decking laid in the back yard along with a large table and bench that was made so it was really enjoyable to be outside and soak up the great weather.

On Sunday Mum and I decided to head to the beach for a stroll. We ended up getting a little lost but after a little while we managed to find the beach which turned out to be a five minutes down the road.
We had a good laugh because it took us about an hour to locate the beach….hhhhmmmmm ok say no more.
It’s not a sandy beach quite like the one’s we get back in SA, and took a few pics whilst there.

We were very amused in our desperate attempt at finding a loo…..to come across “The Hoff”.
Minster’s very own home grown Babe Watch, Mr David Hasselhoff.
Kitted out in his Red shirt , tight white shorts and a healthy cigarette hanging out the side of his mouth, The Hoff gave us directions to the local public bathrooms.
He’s only about 107 years old, had his hair all greased back, hoisted up the flag to let everyone know that the Lifeguard was officially on duty !
Heaven knows what will happen if you do come into trouble and you need to be rescued, you may be waiting an hour or two by the time he reaches you…..but hey there is help on hand should you need to be pointed to the public bathrooms..
I couldn’t resist and took a few photos of The Hoff as he was such a babe.

Later on in the afternoon we headed to The Aviator pub and grabbed a late afternoon lunch before hitting the road back home to London.
Mum will be staying with me for the rest of the week which is great, it’ll be nice to be able to spend some quality time with her.
