A morning walk by the sea.


It was still reasonably quiet when we got down to the beach yesterday morning. A few fellow dog-walkers joined us by the sea, and Billy ran around with some of his chums from the park. It was a lovely bright sunny day, and the beach was the destination of choice.


Billy only goes in the water up to his elbows. He's not a fully-fledged swimmer, but he does like to chase the waves.


Signs of the recent strong winds are still to be seen along the prom'. Plenty of pebbles still needing to be swept-up and returned to their proper home on the other side of the railings.


And finally here is beautiful Brunswick Terrace, with Billy posing. We drank coffee at a small Café with the Terrace behind us, we sunned ourselves on the beach, and were home again in time for lunch.

Thank you for a positive post this morning. I've just read a few which are depressing.
Following your morning routine with Billy chasing waves sunrises and coffee beside the sea gives me a happyorning boost

Not quite so nice this morning; a bit drizzly.

It's like being on holiday all the time isn't it?

Sunny days are here again 🎶 🎵

Linda, sorry if mine was one of those depressing ones!

Lucky Billy to be able to play on the beach. Dogs aren't allowed on any of the beaches here, which is such a shame - I love to see them chasing the waves.
That's a very elegant terrace behind Billy.

JC I haven't read yours yet! I shall have a stiff drink first 😁

Cro Magnon said...

Why would anyone live anywhere else???

"Sussex by the Sea" Tra la la...

They aren't allowed on the beach all the time, only during certain winter months.

Cro Magnon said...

Have a stiff drink anyway!

I wouldn't wish to walk on those pebbles in bare feet. How does Billy cope with pebbles underfoot?

Cro Magnon said...

He takes no notice. It's not always easy for us if they've been swept-up into a slope. We sink!

How lovely to live near the sea .... my cousin lives along the coast in Worthing. I have never been one for sitting on a beach but to walk along it is such a pleasure. XXXX

Lucky dog, many of us would enjoy and outing like that.

Cro Magnon said...

I have to be doing something when sitting on the beach; drinking coffee is one such thing.

Cro Magnon said...

He loves going down to the sea. We only live about 8 mins walk away, but we don't go that often.

How wonderful that you have the sea so close. This is what I would like here.

Lovely architecture and that superb blue sky to set it off.

Cro Magnon said...

I've always liked living by water. I find it very relaxing.

Cro Magnon said...

That terrace is superb, there is a huge crescent behind it too.

Sounds and looks like an agreeable morning.

Susan said...

Walking the beach is always a joy especially when you have the beach to yourselves. My dog likes chasing the waves too. He goes up to his stomach but no more. I've never seen him swim.

Cro Magnon said...

It was, and in the afternoon it became quite cool.

Cro Magnon said...

He sounds the same as Billy. He likes 'paddling' but no more.

River said...

I love the ocean and the salty air, but don't think I would enjoy those pebbles. I am used to fine sand beaches.

Cro Magnon said...

When heading down the beach for a swim one has to wear shoes of some sort, otherwise you get used to it. However, we'd all prefer soft white sand.
