It was my son's birthday on Sunday so we took a trip to the Seaside. He always wants to go to the seaside which, considering his birthday is in November, is sometimes a trial. This year we were very lucky and the weather was beautiful. It was sunny but cold.
We went to Lulworth Cove in Dorset. We had tried to visit there in the summer but it was absolutely packed. We couldn't even get in the car park. On Sunday, however, it was lovely. There were people around walking dogs and a few people, like us, just visiting the beach.
If you look on the hill in this photo there is a little monument type information thing. I walked up that hill to that monument. Unfortunately, I was so shattered by the time I got to the top that I couldn't read what it said!
For Thomas Hardy fans, I think this cliff looks like the one where the sheep dogs rounds up the sheep and guides them off of the top to their death. Cheerful hey.
This is my snazzy artistic shot. I don't quite know how I managed this one but I think I just took the photo into the sun. All of the photos where taken on my phone so I am quite pleased with them. I have to admit that my OH took the top two while I was slogging up the hill. It gave him an excuse to stay down at the bottom.

How lovely. I really enjoy the beach in the cold. It feels so cleansing being sandblasted! Now I live about as far away from the sea as it's possible to get in the UK I really miss those moments alone on a beach.
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing photos from your phone! I love Lulworth Cove and the seaside is so much nicer out of season when it's deserted. Hope you all had a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, thank you! It sounds like you had a very good celebration. There's a lot to be said for the beach off-season.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Sounds like you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to see what your beach looks like all the way on the other side of the world.
ReplyDeleteHi - thanks for popping over to projectforty - it looks like we have a lot in common - beaches and knitting - what's not to like! Will come back soon. Want to examine those stonemason gloves...
ReplyDeleteDear WhereTheNoddingVioletsGrow, just want to wish you a very happy 2011. I hope you've had a good run up to Christmas and some time to relax over the holidays.
