BLU @ GWITH



Watched a few heats of the BLU Sunset Surf Classic from the cliff on Saturday.



There was some corduroy for the event.



Nellie decided the approaching collie was much more interesting than watching Ben Skinner in the final.

OLDEN DAYS

If I could choose a fantasy superpower it would be 'time-travel' so I could go back in time and hang out at the same beaches where I hang out now, but before the crowds...

Anyone recognise this place?


1890. Fishing boats pulled up on the sand & shorefront gardens.



1893. Distinctive cliff-line hasn't changed (but skyline has).



1935. This'll give it away...



1960. Daytrips to the seaside.

FALLING LEAVES



Millais - Autumn Leaves.

As Autumn leaves settle once more, I'm sorry to see Summer fade away, always too short. Seasons change, hold tight to the light for a few more weeks. By then I'll be ready.
