November at the seaside

 Fancy an outing and a walk with me?  We met a couple of friends yesterday at Weymouth - this was the beach a bit different to how it looked in July here eh?

The route to Chesil along the old railway line.




Nearly there and lunch time at the Visitor  Centre just along here.

The walk back took us along part of the South West Coast path.  All in all we'd probably done something like 5 miles or so and the sea air, sunshine and good company made it a day for the mental photo album!

Only problem with November walks is that it gets dark so early! We got back to the town for the bus back to the Park and Ride car park at 4.00 and were home indoors at 5.00 but although the sky was stunningly beautiful on our return journey all backlit by the sun below the horizon and looking like a watercolour painting with the inky silhouettes of the trees and the sky background in shades of palest robin egg blue, lemon and apricot it was dark before we got home.

  1. This looks like a lovely walk, I visited Chesil beach on a geography field trip when I was at school and thought the scenery was beautiful. Winter walks are great when you've got it all to yourselves! Antonia x

  3. I just read your 'Looking Back' page. Things seemed so innocent and more simple then, it just makes you want to cry to think of how the world is today. thanks for sharing your memories.

  4. I am so sad when it seems to be getting dark here by 4.30 pm. The day is over too soon.

  5. Oh I love that late afternoon winter sky, you decribe the colours so perfectly. It's wonderful to hurry home to a cosy house in the dusk. It looks like you had a lovely walk, glad you enjoyed it. CJ xx

  8. Love your description of the evening sky. Yes, it's dark early here, too. Still a month or more to go before we lean towards the light again. You saw pretty sights on your walk.

  10. Being so far from the sea, we only tend to go in the summer, and yet to be honest, I think it's more romantic at this time of year - lovely post!

  12. As a land locked gal, I envy you your seaside walks. Your pictures are stunning. I do enjoy our forays into the country but you can't beat a bit of sea air. Sigh!

  14. I love the atmosphere at this time of year - even the grey skies - there is nothing more wonderful than being by the sea during these wintery months.

  17. It sounds and looks like a wonderful walk. And by the sea, even better. I'm quite envious ...with having rheumatoid arthritis that affects my feet - I'm not much over 50, 'tis a tad unfair - my previous six miles a day is down to two miles if I'm lucky. I shall have to take up rollerblading I think, perfect for travelling old railyway line paths ;)

  19. I'd love to walk on a beach but my walking stick sinks too far into the sand/pebbles to be safe. I shall have to consider Annie's solution!

    Glad you had a good walk though.

  22. Hello Jane I hope you are doing well. These are some lovely photos; my favorite is the fourth one with the green grass, then the golden brown taller grass with the sea and sky beyond, in such pleasing lines and shapes.
