Watching the waves coming in

I used to go there sometimes, beautiful isn't it.

Not sure this is a suburban subject but it's nice in here so...

When was the last time you stood on a beach and watched the waves coming in?

Saturday. Freshwater West, Pembrokeshire. It was a bright morning, just clouding over, with a stiff south westerly breeze. The waves were pretty big, but no surfers were in evidence (probably all up at Newgale).

It was...elemental.

Half an hour up the road. In fact, if I'm popping over to see friends/associates in Solva (also beautiful, but no surfing), I HAVE to drive down to Newgale beach, along it, then back up the other side. It's amazing in even slightly crappy weather.

Living out here has its downsides, but that - plus the hedgecropping - are definite plusses.

27th December 2006, at Bacton in Norfolk. The cheesy camera grin I am pulling does not accurately reflect what I was thinking.

You look cold there...

Yep I love watching the waves...I spent 3 weeks in Goa over Xmas/New Year period and without fail was on the beach for sunset with my cocktail each day. Rented a few properties that were right on the beach too......

It was rather parky. Beautiful beach though - I've never been to Norfolk before and didn't realise the beaches were such high quality. Most of my previous English beach experiences have been with shitty mudflat beaches like Cleethorpes, so it was a pleasant surprise.

Sitting watching them right now, nice spring sunset & a lovely golden moon rising over the tanker I posted earlier, which is cleaning its tanks by the look of it & listing oddly.

Went to Aberystwyth and lashed out for a sea view hotel room - middle aged affluence you see.(purpose was a bit of a reunion)

Waves pounding onto the prom lull one to sleep after 3 pints of Felinfoel.Very nice from a landlocked Herts resident.
