Benches at the beach- for Jude
Quite tropical looking, isn’t it?
I’m well aware that I haven’t taken you to the Algarve for a while. Don’t worry! The photos are there, in a folder. A little laid back time on the beach would be lovely, wouldn’t it?
Today is just a glimpse. I seem to have caught the Bench bug, and it’s all thanks to my friend, Jude. May is her month for benches at the beach. With just one day of May to go, I thought I should post these. Jude will be happy as a sand boy, because right now she’s playing on Cornish beaches. Do pay her a visit. Maybe you have a bench for next month’s challenge?
This morning I have a little sunshine, too. Got to make the most of it, before Sunday whisks it away! Wishing you a happy weekend, and please don’t forget to share your six words with Cate.

Well, we had a nice day here today, Amy, and I’ve been watching a bit of French Open tennis, but I guess I would swap for the Algarve 🙂

I would prefer the lounge chair under a palapa sipping on a piña colada while reading a book, or a dip in the water, or strolling the beach for shells and driftwood. 🌴🌺😎

Best of both worlds, Anabel. There’s plenty of beach to explore and some lovely wild flowers in the dunes. 🙂

Considerably warmer there than here I suspect! Off to St Ives in a minute. WiFi here dreadful. Supposed to be in the cottage but not a whisper. Hooking in to a hot-spot that is merely luke warm 😦 I may be quiet for a while…

Very exotic! Can you lie on a beach and do nothing? I can’t last five minutes, beaches are for walking on and exploring 🙂

I can lie a little while and watch the waves and listen to the ‘shush’. 🙂 But usually I leave Mick half asleep and wander off, with the camera, of course. (just reminded myself of a very cute shot I haven’t shared yet- amazing what you find on a beach :)) Have a good weekend, Gilly!

Looking good, Jo – what’s the story with the drill? Hope you’re supporting Villa in today’s cup final – we need all the help we can get!

My guess is that it makes a hole in the sand for the parasols?

That could be a good guess, Andrew, but I really have no idea. When I looked at the photo afterwards I thought it was the propeller off a boat- which accounts for my inane comment. Opens mouth, puts foot in 🙂

Do I have to keep being reminded of the sea and home? It must be that point in away when the internal compass starts to point true home again. It does indeed look tropical.
