I know I know, it’s been a long cold winter, but things are finally looking up.

Snowdrops nodding everywhere.
The daffodils are budding.
Spring is (sort of) in the air.

And now is a great time to think ahead for your next break.

Why?
The Great British Seaside is fabulous.
Margate is a thriving seaside town: think sandy beaches, art galleries, vintage shopping and great places to eat.
Walpole Bay is wonderful: see pics.
My flat, Walpole Bay Views, is just 2 minutes walk from the gorgeous tidal pool.

It’s the perfect spot for a beach break with kids.
Just 2 hours (tops) drive from London.

But most importantly:
Key dates are booking up.

Easter on the beach!

Now there’s an idea… but is it a good idea??

Well, there’s always the potential downsides:
* unpredictable weather (gah!)
* sand, everywhere.
* melting chocolate
* lost eggs, buried, or taken by other excited kids
* lack of places to hide the eggs

But, on the plus side:
* there’s plenty of space
* it’s super scenic
* you can combine a day out by the seaside with an easter egg hunt
* easily meet up with friends for even more fun
* make this Easter totally different and memorable

So, what do you think?
Will you spend this Easter at the beach?

Walpole Bay Views is 2 minutes walk from the beautiful sandy Walpole Bay Beach in Margate.
