Welcome back. I hope you had a good summer. I hope too that you like the redesign of the web-site. Where do British families go for a summer holiday? Nowdays, of course, many families fly to Spain or Greece or Florida, or to more exotic places. But the traditional British family holiday is a seaside holiday – a week (or, if you are really brave, a fortnight) in a caravan or a cottage or a small hotel close to one of the beautiful beaches around the British coast. Here are some of the things you can do on a seaside holiday:
paddling in the sea
climbing on the rocks
exploring rock pools, and finding crabs and other little creatures in them
building sand castles
damming streams
collecting sea-shells
flying a kite
eating ice-cream
There are of course risks and dangers in a British seaside holiday! The most important are:
the weather – a British summer can be cool and wet.
sand, which gets exerywhere – in your hair, in your clothes and shoes, and between your toes
jellyfish, which may sting you when you are swimming in the sea
the food in English sea-side cafes!
A British seaside holiday can be a lot of fun – but it helps if you know how to enjoy yourself in the rain!
