Today Tom and I went on a nostalgic and surreal to Portobello Beach. The town feels like it's stuck in the early 90's and is still bustling with gamblers, sun bathers and sightseers.

We found an amazing old sweet shop, which sells all kinds of sweets by the quarter and has still sells sweets from our childhood. They even had pic n’ mixes, where the sweets still cost a penny each. We bought a quarter of toasted tea cakes and jelly buttons before heading down to the beach.

We got a cone of chips to eat on the beach. Everything takes better in cones.

Afterwards we went to Portobello beach.

I couldn’t resist collecting some pretty shells from the sand.

It was sunny, though a little cold, but that wasn’t stopping lots of people from having BBQs on the beach.
