Monday and photo overload warning.

 Good morning, everyone.  It's dull and there's drizzle in the air but I really don't care at all.  It's peaceful, warm (inside), I have a very comfy bed and life is great!

We were very lucky with the weather.  Apart from a cloudy spell sort of mid morning-ish, it was a bright, sunny day with a breeze that stopped it from feeling warm by the coast.  I didn't have anything planned so I did my bit of shopping early and then set out for a longer walk - or perhaps stroll is the more accurate term.  I wend down to the sea front, turned left, sauntered along the pier and back, then went a bit further along (you can't go that far), turned back and walked on the beach at the water's edge the other way until I felt hungry, stopped and had my picnic, then walked further before turning back and going home.

I took photos, of course . . .

I love how you're just walking along and, suddenly, there's the lighthouse.  

Several of the post boxes have crocheted 'hats' on them.  They are so cute and very cleverly made.

I want a beach hut!!!  When I win the lottery . . .

Couldn't you just watch the waves for hours.  I know I could, they are fascinating and hypnotic.

A beautiful, blue sky.

Under the pier,

Oh, those beach huts . . . <envy>

Some looked a bit neglected but most were in tip top condition, like this one.

I bet they do!  I gather they can sell for as much as £150,00 to £170,00

Fastened onto the other side of the fence front right was a sign that said 'no fishing on the rocks' (or it might have been 'no climbing').  Perhaps he had permission . . .

You can get some lovely, splashy waves at high tide, to the left of the pier.

(I need to straighten this one - just look at that horizon!)

Oh, it was a lovely, gentle day.

Today, I started off with another walk down to the sea and along the water's edge.  There weren't many people about and those who were smiled and were very friendly.  I stopped off at the butchers on the way back and now have my breakfast bacon and chicken for dinner. 

In a couple of hours, I will set off for Orford Castle and a guided tour, followed (weather permitting) by a saunter around the grounds.  Then it will be home for a cuppa and then another walk - I'd love to live near the coast, I really would.  If you do, how lucky you are!

I took some wave photos this morning but haven't uploaded them yet.  It's so hard to catch the essence of waves, they are very elusive.

Have a super day, whatever you have planned.  Stay safe and be happy!  xx
