Sun. Sand. Sea. Frisbee. Picnic. Cold feet.

Who says the beach is only for summer days?!!!





Seaham. 2 October 2005. Cold autumn day.


Coming from a tropical island, I really miss the sea! So I was naturally delighted when Olaf suggested that we make a trip to the north sea. I wouldn't miss it for the world. So off to Tesco we go...to get food & wine for a picnic by the beach! We even picked up a set of 'Taboo' at a car boot sale on the way to Seaham.


I am convinced continental european boys have special cold-resistant bodies. I mean, why else would any sane and right-minded person take a dip in the freezing-cold sea on a cold autumn day?!!! Or maybe they just want to impress us with their swimming prowess....or show off their well-toned bodies...I just think they are crazy!





I love picnics, especially those with wine and strawberries! As for frisbee - let's just say it wasn't our day. It's strange how the frisbee would come flying into your face 2 seconds after you've thrown (or attempted to throw) it in the opposite direction. It's stranger still how often that happens!




After the bread, cheese, salami, wine, strawberry and frisbee, the boys tried to kill me by making me climb over slippery rocks. But alas, I survived. It was their first attempt at killing me.



Ahhh...the sun, the sand, the sea, frisbee, picnic and cold feet...the most perfect way to spend a lazy autumn day!
