Run by the Sea

I came down to visit my Mum and Dad in Frinton On Sea, Essex on Sunday night. My sister lives close and this morning she came down and we had a lovely run by the sea together which was absolutely wonderful.

That sounds fantastic - what a lovely place to run and a lovely way to share time with your sister!

A excellent run and time for you GTFC along by the sea in a lovely sunny morning at Frinton on Sea, the weather forecast for your area later in the week is to get hot again with 32+C temperatures, that's not good weather for running.

PS, at 4pm my local weather station recorded 25.2mm of RAIN, that is just over a inch in old money, perfect weather for our friend Buddy34 to run a 10K

Running by the sea - you can't beat it - made even better, I'm sure, by being with your sister!

Fantastic! Running with family members is great and I never tire of running by the sea. Another good incentive to visit Your parents. 😉

How lovely! Such a great way to spend time with your sister with restorative sea air and views. Hope your folks were in good health.

Oh wow, how fab! Love seaside running when I get the chance😃👍

I think the infamous Salford poet Dr John Cooper-Clarke lives there now. He is an observer of the goings-on at the genteel resort, I read recently

His poem, “Fitness a Fanatic” is worth a listen 😁

I’d post the link but I might get into trouble 😎

😂😂😂 eeh! Luv that man misswobble, just saw him again last night on a repeat of 8 out of 10 programme, but I digress, lovely run GTFC and sis.

Oh I’ll have a look! Ta 😃👍

I saw his show in a pub in Bakewell. The audience participates in his gigs so it’s very lively, with hilarious responses from the quick-witted doc 😁

He sings very nicely too, generally while thumbing through his battered exercise book for his next poem

[lexi6 10 Miles]

He’s fabulous and he and Susie Dent match made in heaven. If I ever make it back to the UK post covid, he’s on my list of much sees. ❤️

[misswobble Marathon in reply to lexi6]

Oh yes you must! I’d see him again like a shot.

On the subject of being by the seaside he wrote a poem “I mustn’t go down to the sea again”, on a theme by John Masefield 😁

[lexi6 10 Miles in reply to misswobble]

😂😂 just listened to it - love it. 😊

[misswobble Marathon in reply to lexi6]

😃. The “fitness fanatic” one is topical 😁

[lexi6 10 Miles in reply to misswobble]

😂 Brilliant! What a clever guy he is, I’ve just been cracking up at his Trouble at T’Mall he recited on 8 out of 10, a funny clip. 😎

[misswobble Marathon in reply to lexi6]

I first heard that one when he was on the Johnny Walker show It’s another good one
