This is where I've been this afternoon, enjoying the sunshine, flat calm sea and a great day for strolling along the beach with a dog. Quite a few people had the same idea but it was by no means crowded. Benji and I were on Seaton Beach in Cornwall, about half an hour's drive from my home.
I was ready for a cup of tea afterwards but the Beach Cafe car park was full, with 3 cars waiting for spaces (shock, horror) so I drove to Hannafore, near Looe. However, the Island View Cafe, where I worked a season many moons ago when I first came to Cornwall, was closed, as was The Kiosk. Ah well, it saved my money, I turned around and came home. And made my own tea!
Not the most thrilling photos, I'm afraid, as the tide was low but I loved the deep blue sky.
The line of heavy rocks was brought by sea to be dumped there in an effort to save the properties above; their gardens are being regularly eroded by the sea.
Benji sat patiently waiting for another dog to come along and play, but they were few and far between. Eventually, a Springer came bounding up to him, but he was wet through. "Ugh!" said Benji. "I don't like water - get away from me." And he came and hid behind my legs for a while.
