I was back at Clacton for a few days visiting DD and although one day was very wet the other days had some dry bright weather although windy and cold. We managed the beach 3 times just to walk, no paddling or swimming but still very enjoyable. The kite surfers were out in force in the strong wind. It amazes me how they control the kites and don't get washed out to sea.
Another day we had the beach to ourselves under a dramatic sky.
One tired out greyhound. In spite of their reputation they need very little walking and 20 minutes is usually enough.
I am grateful for being able to visit the sea so often as even when it is rough it feels so peaceful.
I have not been to Clacton and realise from your photos that that is another area to put on my list for future trips. The beach looks beautiful and as you say the weather is irrelevant when you are walking in beautiful surroundings.
ReplyDeleteMost people stick to the town and the beach by the pier but a little way further off the beaches are quiet and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for seeing a comfortable dog (Freddie?) resting after some exercise.
ReplyDeleteYes it's Freddie. An ex racer adopted by my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI am missing the sea already - so lovely to see you pictures.
ReplyDeleteYes just something special about being by the sea
DeleteI find the sea rather 'healing' - as some one who grew up in a land locked country, being by the sea or large bodies of water can bring me to tears!
ReplyDeleteYes I feel the same
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely beaches.
ReplyDeleteLike you I find it amazing that they can control those kites.
God bless.
We are loving being here near the sea too, we should have moved her years ago.
ReplyDeleteYes my daughter feels like she is permanently on holiday
