No this isn't me - or at least not yet! I do hope these ladies won't mind me posting them on the internet but the photo opportunity was too good to miss. It reminds me of a card given to me once by a friend which has two old dears sitting side by side and says "Life is nothing with out friendship" How true!
As you can tell we went to the seaside today - a trip to Weymouth. There were some seriously expensive boats in the marina here! Look at that sky too!
The Esplanade
The beach
Tide was out so there were acres of firm sand for walking and hardly anyone about apart from a few people with dogs (not allowed on the beach during the summer months so making the most of out of season access).. 
We decided to have lunch on the other side of the harbour and had to wait whilst the bridge lifted to allow the boats through. I knew this happened but had never actually witnessed it.
Bridge was lowered and we crossed to the other side - the smell of the seaweed, the cry of the gulls and the sights of the busy harbour all made for a brilliant outing. I returned refreshed and revitalised. Hope your weekend is good too.
Looks like a great day out, lovely weather! I love walking along the beach and it's always nice when it's empty for a change. Fantastic photos as always! :) x
ReplyDeleteperfect day out.

What a contrast there is between your day at the seaside and mine yet they are both lovely outings - and we both had nice weather too.
ReplyDeleteHope the sky is still looking like that in your part of the world.
Cheers

Gosh I haven't been to Weymouth for a good couple of years though your pictures bring it all flooding back.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely rest of the weekend,

What a lovely place to visit!
ReplyDeleteYou picked a great day for a trip! Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a super day trip. Bless those old dears having a natter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Jane. I spent many a holiday at Weymouth. Fond memories.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of seaweed and the cry of the gulls. I love the sea......being near water for me is always calming.
Love that first photograph....it says so much.
What a wonderful day! I haven't been to the seaside all year. I can almost smell and taste the sea air from the photos!
ReplyDeleteFabulous day out and it looks like you chose the best weather as well. Nothing quite like the sea air to leave you feeling refreshed.
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteI have many memories of caravan holidays and funny little landladies in B&B's in Weymouth. It was the place we always went for childhood holidays. I used to love the Jubilee Clock and the wonderful sand sculptures made by the old chap up by the theatre end of the beach. There's a great nature reserve down at Radipole Lake but it looks like you had more than enough to do walking the length of the beach and taking in the harbour. Lovely to see the photos especially of the two ladies enjoying 'time out' in the shelter. Lesley x
Beautiful pictures - so sunny and blue! I love Weymouth - you are lucky to live so near it. It's been sunny here this weekend though with a real nip in the air today!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week.

Oh I'd love a trip to the seaside - one day I'll be one of those old ladies!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Jane.
What lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteI've never managed to be there when that bridge opens. Who needs Tower bridge?
How sensible to make the most of the weather over the weekend on the coast - lovely photographs Jane, I especially like the last one of the harbour - there is something about boats and buildings in close proximity that is appealing - the coming together of two elements I suppose. Don't get washed away this week!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Jane, I am so going to have to remember to take my camera with me when I go out! I love the photo of the two friends and the sky looks such a beautiful blue in all the photos. I'm going to have to go back and visit one day soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, you wouldn't guess that it is November!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day and what beautiful blue skys you had!
ReplyDeleteThis post of yours somehow slipped through the net! Funnily enough, on a rainswept and windy morning it has been a delight to read and to look at the photos. I LOVE that top one! So very, very "English Seaside"..... :O))))
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day and your photos cheered me up no end.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful photos brought back lovely memories of holidays spent in Weymouth - the bridge has caught me out too!
ReplyDeletePlease visit my blog - there's an Award waiting for you!

Jane, your trip to Weymouth reminds me of lovely holidays spent there when I was a child, although it was very often not that sunny and we were usually to be found sitting on the beach under umbrellas and windbreakers!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the two ladies sitting in that very beautiful Victorian/Edwardian shelter - they don't make them like that anymore do they!
