Including The Kitchen Sink

The beach in the Old Market Square has been packed away for another year. The sand is still there, but will be removed in the next day or so.

All the big stuff have been taken away. They are just now clearing away the odds and ends, including this sing which came out of the bar or cafe kiosk.

Who's A Pretty Boy Then?

The Nottingham Riviera is in full swing now that the schools have broken up for the summer.

Besides the now famous seaside sand, there are a number of rides and games for children to play on and enjoy. These two parrots are enjoying the action taking place in the Old Market Square. I don't know what they think of the many pigeons that fly around the area, from rooftop to rooftop. Jealousy perhaps, as they are stuck on this board of lights.

Tide's In

The Nottingham Riviera is back in the Old Market Square. It actually opened last week, but as I was still recovering from my illness, I couldn't see it.

So I popped along at lunchtime to see if it was any different from last years. While I was out, it started to rain. Although it had been fairly dull and cold since first light. This of course had a disastrous effect on the rides and especially the beach, as all the deckchairs had been put away and the sand was left to the pigeons, rather than the kids with their buckets and spades.
