Big Things on the Beach 2007 - WONDER

It's been awful.
Mid week the wind started blowing from the east. I had my winter coat on by Wednesday.
Friday we had a high of 11 deg C , rain, wind- easterly blow not nice. had central heating on most of the day.
The East wind gave us unusually high tides, there's lots of seaweed loose and the golden balls were dragged away.
Friday/Saturday we were looking out and deciding if it looked more like November or February, choppy grey sea, massive surf, great white horses.
Been flooding in parts of England, workers trapped in factories, soldiers swept away
Glad you had it better than us.

I was out on the prom today looking at everything that's been washed ashore by the stormy sea; seaweed, golden balls, crabs, trees...

Very refreshing breeze, ice-cream van for leetle snack, and the pyramids are almost finished!

Good lord! And there we were with air conditioning on, eating outside three times a day and going on river trips for the cool fresh breeze as well as the view. It wasn't as sunny as one would have expected and it did rain a little bit mostly overnight, but compared to here...... :shock:

!

I asked because my windows and Andy's car where thick with sand and salt and I could see the debris on the beach and the [lack of] golden balls...but I didn't know it was as bad as you described SoupD.

To get back on topic, I'm glad the sandbags are so handy for me if the tide gets too high!! :wink:
