A short stroll late afternoon onto an Equinoxial beach. Sorry that the wind picks up and so is a bit noisy.
The sea was still summer-warm, and had to be paddled in…

Ian’s retirement
I swept him away to North Devon
for sun, sea & swim
(with incidental torrential rain).
A bargain cliff-top luxury break
with Poirot-esque vibe
is going down very well.

I haven’t posted the sea
for a while, for *reasons*.
Anyway, the kids are back in school & the clouds are back
up top.
Happy autumn!

The Red Arrows came
to Swanage today for some high-velocity sky-knitting.
Alas the clouds were low
and it even rained at the end
but amazing skill on show.

The Dorset Savannah
for a change -
a short step from the sea
and all is dry meadows,
wild flowers and
many butterflies, skittish
and camera shy …
A bumper sloe year.

A lovely evening at
The Mowlem -
Marvel The New Avengers,
a proper film
and a small glass of wine
in The Showbar looking
over Swanage Bay
in the afterglow of the sunset.

For all ashore & in need
of some balmy sea.
I particularly love the
slow hiss of the sea as
it greets the sand and ebbs away.
