The WORST Day at the Beach. EVER.

This post isn't about reading, crafting or baking, but I felt like a rant. Oh my God. Yesterday we had a geography trip to the beach. And if any of you saw the weather for the British coast, you'll instantly feel sorry for me. For all you guys that didn't, here's how it basically went down:

We got to beach numero uno to discover that there was literally NOTHING there but rocks. Nada. Zero. Zilch. All went well for about half an hour...

Then it started to rain. We all got wet.

However, the, quote, "passing shower", was fairly short-lived, and we soon crawled out of whatever cave we were sheltering in to trudge back to the main beach. Measuring pebbles. Fun, right?

After another 45 mins ish of dryness, it started raining again.

No, scratch that. Then it started absolutely chucking it down by the bucketful. We were SOAKED to the BONE!! It was really windy too, so umbrellas were more of a hindrance than a help.

Time to get back on the coach and go to beach number two. This beach was nice and sandy, but, surprise surprise, it rained yet again. No, it didn't. IT HAILED!!! The wind was blowing it around like tiny daggers piercing the backs of your legs. And all the shops and cafes were closed except one, which was apparently like 10 miles down the beach from the coach. No shelter :(

We had to hike like 5 miles down the sand before we could do the work and hike back the five miles to the coach. Again, dripping. I was literally wringing out my clothes.

Don't you just LOVE the english weather?

So I guess it's fairly safe to say that the most fun part of the trip was the coach journey. So thank you so much, Meg Cabot, for writing a book I have read over 6 times and still adore. I don't know what I would have done without Suze and Jesse to keep me company ;) Read it cover to cover on the way to and from our "fun day at the seaside."

I'm never going back. Ever. You'll have to kill me first.

So, what was your last trip to the beach like? I bet it can't get any worse than that. If it can, I'd like to hear it.
