Buckets, spades and beachballs and sunshine. What more could you want?

Christmas gifts and calendars for 2009 are in the shops and Christmas trees are appearing in the garden centre along with the bulbs for planting ready for Spring. Autumn may have arrived but the weather has been brilliant this week in Bridlington. No need to go abroad to find the sun.

Holidaymakers are still around although Bridlington is not so crowded as it has been. The children are enjoying the rides on the roundabouts and the Bridlington Eye on the Bay is going around.

Spotted on the Eye was a passenger who deifintely didn't pay but was happily sitting on the roof of one of the cabs, a seagull! I watched him (or her) hitch a ride down and then fly off just after I took this picture. Happy Holidays , Marion

The second car up there is a non paying passenger (on the roof).
