A delight for the eyes -
gaily painted beach huts
cheer January skies.

I loved them:)

So - do people rent them? What for? To put their clothes in while they swim? For sex?

They are certainly cute with all their colours - but we don't have anything like that here and I'm sort of at a loss as to their uses.

(It's the overwhelmed thing again - coming after 'Diary'.....

They're generally leased from the council for a year. People use them to get changed in, as a retreat for the day, somewhere to brew tea, and so on.

And yes, I'm sure sex happens too, though i've never owned one.

I love those beach huts. I want one for myself, but shall have to keep on dreaming.

They're quite expensive to rent, I believe.

You've got a pic of ours on there!

Depends on which one you've got and how much of an exhibitionist you are as to whether sex is a possible in there or not. Only the most modern ones have doors that shut and stay shut when you're inside. The older ones are padlock from the outside only.

We love ours. It's chill-out space with freshly ground coffee. What could be better? :)

How fabulous :)

Fresh coffee and a view of the sea sounds delightful.

How serendipitous that i took and posted yours :)
