Was it critters? Do birds count?

[SueAppleRun]

I'm one of those people who says I'm going to...then doesn't. I didn't even realise there were walking gremlins either, so I did my run, had my cup of tea, started thinking how nice a swim would be. But... To walk down? To drive the other side of the village? If I walk I might not want to walk back, if I drive I might not be able to park. Oh for goodness sake!!!Don my bikini, with a bit of luck the beach will be empty. Shorts and a teeshirt, after slathering high factor cream on shoulders and face... Oh my poor face.

Music on. Hat on.

Off I go, 17 minutes later I'm on the beach, spreading my towel out in a sandy bit, take a few photos, have a swim, lay still while drying then walk home again.

Enjoy your walks but beware the sun is scorching. Oh and yes the beach was pretty much empty 😊 apart from a few seagulls and they don't have eyebrows to raise at the old girl in a bikini 😲

Oh how I fancy a dip in the sea today!!!!!

Good for you. Must have been wonderful.

Surely birds count 😊

[SueAppleRun in reply to Jools2020]

It was perfect, maybe you should get in a train and join me 😁

Oh that sounds absolutely wonderful!I could do with a dip in the sea right now after spending the last hour or so in the kitchen 😁

[SueAppleRun in reply to Instructor57]

I need another dip in the sea now though as we've just been for our walk 😁

[Runninggirl59]

That sounds great, we'll done you. Just missing an ice cream!

[SueAppleRun in reply to Runninggirl59]

Ooo there's some in the bottom of the freezer

I would say birds are critters. Oh for a paddle . 🥵

[SueAppleRun in reply to Doris8]

I swam and wanted to go again before I walked home but didn't fancy walking home in wet bikini under my shorts 😂

[Oldfloss]

Go girl... well done you... and the photo... a beautiful one... !

[SueAppleRun in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks Floss, it was so nice down there

Love your post and really jealous you have a beach... Agreed what a scorcher of a day 🥵

[SueAppleRun in reply to Wine]

I'm so lucky to have the beach near as well as woods and hills

empty beach in this weather sounds heavenly! Well done for beating your gremlins to get out there via a walk! (I know that gremlin that keeps you pondering about a decision, until it’s too late! But you obviously didn’t! )

[SueAppleRun in reply to CBDB]

My problem is about going on my own but I really enjoyed it

[PeggySusi]

Birds definitely count.. You are so fit I’m sure you look fantastic in a bikini.. not old at all l, and better than a lot of youngsters. Glad you remembered the sunscreen though.

[SueAppleRun in reply to PeggySusi]

I've been outside so much lately I can't believe how brown I'm getting, my face looks ridiculous, as to the bikini there's hardly anyone around where I go to the beach
