A couple of pictures from Mablethorpe beach today, and my last (possibly ever?) Kodak Plus-X shots given I have no more of this expired film left – although I do have a single roll of Plus-X Pan, which I think may be an earlier version. That one is 35mm though, and expired in 1988.
The second picture shows the outfall where The Cut, a man-made drainage channel that winds its way through the flat Lincolnshire countryside, enters the North Sea.
Something good that happened today…
I had a parcel to send so I went for a walk to the collection point (a local convenience store about a mile away). The weather was lovely, with bright winter sunshine, blue skies, and a relatively mild 10° C temperature. After this week’s unsettling news, it was good to get out in the fresh air and stretch my legs.

These are really nice! Make me think of old shots of beaches in many ways – the vastness and rather timeless clothing. I imagine this is a wonderful beach to be upon.

Thanks -N-
It’s a very nice beach. It’s changed a lot from when I used to visit as a child though. Back then, the beach had a series of wooden groynes which would all create little tidal pools (sometimes deceptively deep!). At some point however, it was decided that these were not preventing erosion of the beach and they have now been removed (or possibly buried) and the beach is covered in a thick layer of clean sand that has been dredged from offshore.
