Having fun on a murky day
It was one of those days when you just need a breath of air. Salt spray, the wind in your hair… Roker Pier. Where else? A stride across the sands, rain at your back… Then back along the cliff top, past Bede’s Memorial.
No children in the playground. It’s a bit damp, and the big brothers and sisters will be in school.
Jack Sparrow’s on his own this weekend. Our first snow arrived overnight.
What did you get up to this week? Got time to share six words with Cate?
Enjoy your weekend, whatever you have planned. I’ll see you on Monday, for a walk? We have a date with some waterfalls.

Brrr…nothing like a walk in the sea spray air. We did the same a couple of weekends ago. Who knows when I’ll post the pics. I haven’t forgotten about the nature photo challenge Jo, I really want to do it and will. All my challenge and other posts have gone out the window lately, having a bit of a struggle for one reason or another but hey ho, getting there. I’m not getting email notifications of your posts anymore either 😦 But I’m still here, loving walking with you rain or shine xx

Looks a bit chilly and wet Jo. Sometimes I wonder if our dry but frozen air and sunshine is easier to take. Love that playground. All aboard the whale. 🙂

It’s not something I’d often do, Sue. A moment of madness, and the need to be out 🙂

Great set of photos, Jo. Salt spray and the wind in my hair……I’d look like the wreck of the Hesperus, but it still sounds inviting. Oh my goodness, those fishermen look like a hardy lot. Love the lighthouse and the memorial. What, no mention of coffee and cake? 😕

We didn’t hang around, Ad 🙂 Though in retrospect I missed a trick. Jude might have liked the Winter Gardens at Sunderland.

“I remember murky days in England” I would rather the exhilarating buffeting of the wind and being all wrapped up for the weather. Then sweating through the next 2 months of humidity…Loved your atmospheric photos Jo

Thanks, sweetheart! We have a bright frosty one this morning. I’m still waiting for my son to wake up so I can shepherd him out for a healthy dose of fresh air before he goes back to Leeds tonight. 🙂

I just love that lighthouse, Jo. The pictures are stunning. I always say a rainy day at the beach is better than a sunny day in the office 😉

Oh yes- I would second that 100 percent, Dianne 🙂 Thank you!

Looks like a fun way to spend a dreary day. Glad you enjoyed getting out despite the weather. Unusual for us, we still haven’t had any snow this winter! I shouldn’t complain, but I do like at least one snowfall in a winter. 🙂

I love the iron whatsit in the first picture – it looks quite like a Charles Rennie Mackintosh inspired thing.

I found you by clicking on your header – it took me to your most current page. Each week when I go to Show My Face the link to my last week’s post is still in the box, under my name. I just delete it and add this week’s link. However, if you are doing that already, then it is odd that it is still reverting to the old one.

There’s not usually anything there? It just says ‘you’re next’, I hit enter and there I am 😦 I’d better try something else next week because once it’s in… it’s in 😦

Ah. With me I have two boxes to complete under ‘You’re next’. It says Mr Linky’s Magical Widgets and there are two boxes. The first box has my name already completed (so I think I must have asked it to remember me at some point) and the second box, saying ‘Your URL’, is where the one I entered the previous week can be seen. I delete that one and put my new one in. Perhaps we are both seeing different things?
