Popcorn & I had a walk around the Fitties Chalet camp recently. I post pics from there from time to time so took my camera along for an update. Nothing really changes down there, so apologies to anyone who's seen the chalets before.
Below is a summary of the chalets, "borrowed" off the internet.
Humberston Fitties is a holiday park located in Humberston, Lincolnshire, known for its unique and historic chalets and bungalows. The Fitties, as it's called locally, is a charming holiday destination on the coast, with a history dating back to the inter-war period. The park features a variety of chalets and bungalows, some of which are over a century old.

| This chalet, like a lot of them, has been very well maintained and is very colourful. |
 |
| Like many of the chalets, it has a very appropriate sign. |
 |
| Blue seems to be a popular colour. |
 |
| A bit of blossom when we were down there. Forsythia? |
 |
| A porchway in the shade of trees. |

This is my favourite chalet on the Fitties camp. It's owned by a dog lover, as the
various signs will show. |
 |
| My favourite sign (the one below the wheel) which says "Dogs welcome, People tolerated" |
 |
| It's worth viewing these signs large. |

| The next few pics are of humorous signs seen here & there. |
 |
| This is my favourite sign, makes me chuckle whenever I see people reading it! |
 |
I spotted what I thought was some ladies doing craftwork. After a quick introduction
from me they asked me in to see what they were making. |
 |
A lot of the items were pebbles and shells off the nearby beach which they painted
and crafted into various ornamental things. |
 |
I enjoyed a pleasant 20 minutes or so in conversation with them.
Popcorn enjoyed all the attention they gave him too! |
 |
I took quite a lot of photo's but I'll finish with this one of an old chalet undergoing
major renovation. Most of the original chalets were built on a wooden framework.

Oh David, what a delightful place! I’d so love to visit it. Are they holiday homes or do people live in them full time? I loved the pretty blue one and of course, the dog lovers chalet is wonderful with its collection of signs. I did laugh at the ‘Pets welcome, children must be on a leash’ one. The other signs were great too. Lovely humour altogether. As for your craft ladies, what beautiful work! What do they do with their creations? I bet Popcorn enjoyed it too.
ReplyDeletePS, I realise you said it’s a holiday park, but those ladies looked very settled. Can the chalets be rented?
DeleteHi Val, glad you enjoyed this post and that it amused you too. I didn't ask what the crafty ladies do with their creations. I should have done.
DeleteThe chalets are mostly privately owbd but quite a few are available to be rented for holidays
DeleteThank you! I’ll have to look them up. 😊
DeleteAlthough I remember your photos of this charming place, I still enjoy seeing all of the quirky signs and such. It must have been a fun walk, especially meeting some of the residents. What I really like is the way you have captured so much of the detail that makes each abode unique. I agree on the favorite sign. It’s probably the most photographed! Good to see you and Popcorn enjoying a day out. Take care and by the way, the choral group loved singing in the Cathedral. If I can get a video, I can email it to you. Ann
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, so good to hear from you. I hope you're keeping well. I would love to see the video of the choral group.
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting, always welcome. We are going through a prolonged spell of hot weather just now, so Popcorn and I get out and about as much as we can.
Take care Ann, David and Popcorn.
