I went for a short walk today.

Just half hour, because I wanted to get out of the house and get some fresh air. I'd been walking less then 15 minutes when I tripped when stepping over a low wall and scraped my leg bloody! So, more accurately, I went for a 15 minute walk and a 15 minute limp! The sun and sea were lovely though, the tide was in and crashing over the sea defences.

Then I went and parked in the country (near those trees in my last picture) and read my book in the sunshine for an hour.

Then I went and bought some plants for my garden, some heathery things and some bulbs.

Apart from the blood and the limping, that sounds absolutely lovely. I should go and look at the sea soon, I haven't seen it for whole weeks, anything might have happened to it. Although actually the sea in morecambe is never there, it's always hiding. When I go to see the sea I mostly see the beach.

Our sea wall is an odd shape, at the end I started my walk, you could step down onto the beach and it was covered with dunes and grasses and the sea was a good way off. Further along and the beach is a good 6 feet below the wall and the tide high, then further along still, the waves are crashing against the wall and splashing over on the walkway.

We have "two" beaches, North and South. North (where I was yesterday) is battered and full of pebbles and broken down sea walls and groynes and rough and lovely. The South has massive beaches or endless sand, shallow waters and clear.

Yay for seaside walks! I find they are excellent for mental health.

yes, just the sound alone is enough to soothe.
