The coast around Lytham St Annes has a huge intert The coast around Lytham St Annes has a huge intertidal zone, there can be a mile between high and low tide. So it's a long walk out to sea. N was determined to walk out there, so we added a few thousand steps to today's total. Great sky, great reflections and a lovely if tiring walk. 3 different beach visits this summer. Not bad when you live in the middle of the country! Have you visited the beach this summer? #lythamstannes #capturingbritain_coast #englishcoast #englishseaside #bythesea #waterscape #inthedistance #mydarlingbritain #gloriousbritain #eyecatching_pics #greatbritishsummer #amonthinelements #ihavethisthingwithblue #ccc_blue #Amazingshots_color #reflection_perfection #loves_reflection #jessopsmoment #sheclicksnet #loveclouds #clouds_of_our_world #skycaptures #water_shots #ukpotd #ukexplore #reflections #watershots #scenicbritain #nature_brilliance #myeverydaymagic

Suffolk holiday. A few days away in Lowestoft, enj Suffolk holiday. A few days away in Lowestoft, enjoying the beach, eating a lot, enjoying visits to a zoo, theme park, castle, ruins, arcades, circus, mini golf, then disc golf and GoApe on the way home. I'm glad we were on the coast because we'd never have coped with the heat otherwise. Are you wishing for some cooler weather and rain soon too? #lowestoft #suffolk #beachhuts #whenhousesremindyouoficecreamflavours #mydarlingbritain #postcardplaces #darlingplaces #ukexplore #capturingbritain_coast #bythesea #documentyourdays #thisprettyengland #seasidetown #englishcoast #englishseaside #besidetheseaside #brilliantbritain #bestunitedkingdom #englandsbigpicture #littlepiecesofbritain #exploreuk #soenglishithurts #simplescene #prettiestpastels #ccc_blue #color_captures #coloursofsummer #lovelyhappypic #summersevening #greatbritishsummer
Spent a morning in Stratford while N was at tennis Spent a morning in Stratford while N was at tennis camp this week. Was nice to see the food and craft market on but really I just love being there in the sun. Shame my week of leave is over already, but only a week of work before I'm on leave again.
