What Would You Name Yours?


  What would you name your beach hut, that is?

  The following are some beach huts of note from Overstrand promenade.  They're not all named, but either the name or the design of each of these caught my eye. 


One for Mistress Maddie (as teased in the last post)

I like the stripes on this one - just the right side of kitsch

Note the wave-effect faschia board

I'm not a fan of the name (I'm not a Rolling Stones fan),
but I do like the white triangle panels that make a square

The forward angled side panels gives this a 50s vibe
(to my eyes, anyway)

"On the huh" (this is said in Norfolk as well as Suffolk)

"The Ritz" and "Claridges"

D'oh!  I forgot to take a panoramic shot, so I had to stick two photos together

  
So, what would you call your beach hut?  And, at which beach would it be?

    The waters are cold around there, right?

    Did I win yet?

  2. Well,I thought "Ruby Tuesday" was where friends got together on Tuesdays with a bottle of ruby port.See? I'm also not au fait with Stones hits.

    But they all look like fun.Are you going to get one?

    1. I did briefly entertain the idea of getting a beach hut with The Parents and my sisters, but we realised that we wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost (what with the Château only being at the top of the cliff). Not to mention the hassle of moving it during the winter as, if left in situ, it would surely be smashed to smithereens during a storm surge.

  3. Tear down that bitch of a bearing wall & put a window where it ought to be!

  4. I think they're all adorable. Are they for changing into bathing frocks and then for some place to have a drink afterwards? Perhaps lure a likely candidate for unspeakable actions?

    1. Well, yes, but most of the candidates around here are more on the unlikely side...

  5. Boy, I wish we had these on our beaches more often. They are all lovely. I do think the Gin Trap is pretty me, but since it's taken, I think Love Shack, or the Shimy Shack would work as well.

    The lack of room service would put me off a beach hut.

    1. Ah, but there's just enough room to be serviced in a beach hut. I fear your servicer may get lost in the Abbasi...

    1. It would have to be at the end of the row next to Mistress Maddie's. I couldn't be listening to all those creaking boards!
