Portobello

Our first stop was the Roseleaf for breakfast. I was sad that they don't seem to be doing my favourite pancakes anymore so I ordered some French toast instead.

Afterwards we drove along to Portobello beach which was filled with people sunbathing. The beach has quite a different feel to it on a hot day compared to the grey winter days that we usually visit on.

Laura had never visited Portobello before so we were excited to take her 2p gambling in the arcade but all of the change machines were broken.

We popped in to Hamilton's Sweet Shop to buy a few quarter bags of sweets for the glove box before getting back on the road.

We ended up at Gosford Sands in Ferry Ness which was gorgeous and had a lovely view over the water.

It was the perfect place for picking flowers to press and collecting shells in the sand. We'll have to go back for a picnic or bbq on the beach soon.
