When we lived on the east coast of Florida, we always would go to the beach to watch the sunrise on January 1. I remember meeting a woman there, in her early 70's, who would always take the first swim of the year in the Atlantic. She was always cold, but it was so important for her to do this.Schnitzel and the Trouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074542460030763545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-43232134675160678292009-09-11T11:04:52.202+01:002009-09-11T11:04:52.202+01:00Barbara

It was 25C here yesterday and up to 18 here today, so we took the hounds round the Botanic at Churchtown. <br /><br />I was exactly like you in New Quay getting into the sea. So worth it though. I swam every day. Far better than breathing in chlorine in an indoor pool. I hope you felt invigorated for days afterwards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-83197213841970516392009-09-10T01:19:47.363+01:002009-09-10T01:19:47.363+01:00Hi Barbara,

We often go to Barton on Sea and they have a cafe on the cliff which is a great place for eating and looking out to sea and the Isle of Wight. <br /><br />We went to Ferring with my sister when she was here recently from Australia but it was quite a windy day!!<br /><br />You can't beat fish and chips when you are at the seaside and yes, I love mushy peas but my hubby doesn't!<br /><br />Jackie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-25743335350424580052009-09-09T17:20:24.060+01:002009-09-09T17:20:24.060+01:00A day at the beach!

Somehow I never imagined this for Londoners...shows how much I don't know even after spending a little time there. <br /><br />Don't you like mushy peas? The fish and chips do look so very tasty!<br /><br />I'm glad you had at least one more day of summer and that you and Alan enjoyed it so much.<br /><br />Re my neighbor's trash bin, the mauve ones are for recycling items; the brown ones are for regular rubbish. We put both out on Mondays and two different trucks come by to collect them.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.com
