A LATE SUNNY SPRING EVENING VISIT TO SEAHAM
ALTHOUGH THE WEATHER HAD BEEN NICE
THE SEA HAD BEEN ROUGH...YOU MAY NOTICE BELOW JUST HOW MUCH SAND HAD BEEN TAKEN AWAY?

A BLUE EYE IN JUST WAITING TO BE COLLECTED

AGAIN... BELOW YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH SAND HAS GONE.

AFTER A GOOD HUNT FROM THE CAR PARK WITH A KIOSK

I MOVED ALONG TO THE PIER.

No Beach

CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE DICTATED THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO ON THE BEACH RECENTLY.
WHEN I DO RETURN I HOPE IT IS A COLD DAY SO I HAVE ANOTHER EXCUSE TO USE MY BRILLIANT NEW ZIPPO HANDWARMER.
I HAVE A COLD JOB AND SOMEONE AT WORK RECOMMENDED THEM....THEY ARE BRILLIANT.

20 02 2011 PRE BEACH POST

HIYA...JUST LOGGED TO USE MY BLOG TO FIND THE THE TIDE TIMES AND WEATHER REPORT VIA THE BBC LINK.

IT INFORMS ME ...

LOW TIDE 10 58 AM

AT 0-5M

MAX TEMP 5

MIN TEMP 1

VISIBILITY GOOD.

MY "BIG" CAMERA HAS BEEN TAKING A POUNDING WITH STRONG WINDS AND SAND DAMAGE, SO THOUGHT I WOULD CHECK THE REPORT.

YESTERDAY'S PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN WITH MY "LITTLE" CAMERA ...A FUJIFILM FINEPIX A 805. IT IS SMALL AND EASILY FITS INTO A TOP POCKET OUT, OF THE WAY OF ANY ADVERSE WEATHER

HAVE A NICE SUNDAY.

THE BEACH IS CALLING.

SEATON CAREW & BLUE LAGOON 19 FEB 2011

ARRIVED AT SEATON CAREW BEACH AROUND 7 AM
IT WAS AROUND 3 DEGREES IN TEMPERATURE.
IT WAS COLD AND WET.

LOTS OF TIMBER HAD BEEN WASHED UP AT THE BLUE LAGOON.

MAINLY TWIGS AND BRANCHES, SO POSSIBLY ALL WASHED DOWN RIVER RECENTLY AND PUSHED TO THE LAGOON BY THE INCOMING TIDE?

I CARRIED BONNIE DOWN BY THE NORTH SIDE OF THE NORTH GARE.

SOME OF THE WW2 BEACH DEFENCES,SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN PLACED ON SOME SUBSTANTIAL TIMBERS, MAYBE AT THE TIME THEY WERE PLACED THERE, THE SAND WAS SOFT AND THEY WERE SINKING INTO THE BEACH?

I WILL CONTACT TEES ARCHAEOLOGY

SOME OF THE TIMBERS HAD WHAT LOOKED LIKE STAINLESS STEEL WIRE RUNNING THROUGH THEM, AS IF THEY HAD BEEN TIED TOGETHER?

BEACH BUOY...

OLD TOWN BEACH 14 02 11

ARRIVED AT 4 10 PM ON WAY HOME FROM WORK

ON THE HUNT FOR SMALL PIECES OF DRIFTWOOD

THE BEACH IS NEAR HARTLEPOOL MARINA

WHERE OLD TOWN USED TO BE. THE BEACH WAS MAINLY SEA COAL

THERE WERE SOME NICE PIECES OF WOOD

I LIKE TO FIND PIECES WITH LOTS OF PATTERNS
ON THEM.



ARGHHHHH
BELOW
IS
AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH
THOUGHT TO BE A FAMILY CONNECTION
SADLY IT HAS ONLY APPEARED AS THE SIZE OF A POSTAGE STAMP
THE PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN AROUND THE AREA I WAS VISITING TODAY
ALL WE NEED IS A PC GURU TO TELL ME HOW TO MAKE THE IMAGE LARGE
FEEL FREE TO SAY ON COMMENTS OPTION
