Just to say you don't have to go on holiday to see lovely sights like this. Taken yesterday at West Wittering in sunny Sussex, and it was warm!

What a beautiful view, I could just go for a paddle. Fair lifts your spirits.

It looks like a Summer's day. Thanks, it really cheered me up.:-)

Lovely,

I just can’t get enough of a sea view! Good job I only live about 9 miles from nearest beach. The sea state is different every day, and almost from hour to hour!

Don’t know about a Viking perhaps I should have been a mermaid!

Well I did until I was about two & half, then it turned darker like my older brothers and sister. My mum was a bit miffed, because she thought because I’d stayed blonde longer I was going to stay that way!

No disrespect - but I don’t see myself as a dizzy blonde! But nowadays who knows! 👱🏼‍♀️ Or🧑🏻 Or even 👩‍🎤

That's funny, you don't come across as "blond". Me niether come to that.

No, I’m a sensible brunette with redheaded tendencies (short fuse in younger days, still occasionally surfaces).

My late hubby was a true redhead, so made for interesting life! As my kids will testify!

They’re both brunette (with a sprinkling of grey) but the red-headedness does also appear. 🤣😂

I think our brunette genes rule! Or at least in our extended family they do!

Brunette gene dominant, blond recessive. Sorry my biological past is showing.

Hey, I'm blond. Or I was until it started turning silver.

Anyway, yes I can swim and no, I'm not a ditz.

If I look at that lovely pic long enough, I can 'see' the waves building up and spilling over. I come from a large coastal city, SA and always loved the sea, beach and swimming.

Can't you hear it too?

karools16 in reply to scats

Yes. As children, we would collect sea shells, hold them to our ears, and thought it was the sea we could hear! Our main beach is called King's Beach after King George dipped his big toe in it, when the Royal family came to SA in 1947.

They get around those royals, we don't have much control over them I'm afraid!

Wonderful! That's the nearest I've been to the sea in years. I can feel the sandy water between my toes!

Pleasure to be of service sir! It's been a long time for me too, we may live quite near but can't stand the crowds in the summer, and then there's a pebble bank to negotiate which I haven't been up to for quite a while.

Same here , although we only live a mile from the seafront we hardly go in season now as it's too crowded. Always used to when family were younger - nice to walk along the front though when it is less crowded with the sea air blowing away the cobwebs - we have the longest pier in the world at sunny Southend on Sea.

Lovely blue sky and sea. Been to Wittering many times with my children and also my grandchildren. I imagine that yesterday there were not many people around. When I used to go with my now 'grown- up- and- getting old' children we were always stuck in long traffic jams going home. Such a popular place. Another place we used to love going to was Church Norton, near Pagham. We used to park down a little lane near Selsey Church (a very interesting place). Used to do some bird watching there. Tried to get my O.H. to retire to one of the railway coaches on the beach, but being the stick-in-the-mud he is, he refused.

Love Church Norton too but more mud than sand, infact left alone I mould be more likely to go there, fewer people. My sister was driving on Tuesday, she's an East Beach person. I'm so grateful she took me I hadn't been there for YEARS ( the boys were children! )

The Wittering traffic is notorious. On bank holidays it causes queues near us and we are nearly 10 miles away!

Sea was beautiful at Worthing beach yesterday glittering in the warm sunshine; we are lucky to live in such a beautiful county.

Surprising how many of us here seem to live on or near the south coast.

I just left the sunny south for the rainy north! It’s been wet ever since I arrived in Scotland. The sun appears from time to time but mostly wet. I’m knackered after the journey by train. If I ever do it again I shall have to fly! However it is good to see old friends and familiar places. I’ll recover in a day or so an will thoroughly enjoy myself, rain or no rain.
