Surf's Up

Saturday 18th June - Day 182

The English summer is back with a vengence. I know, because my arms are a pleasant shade of red now, having stood on the beach at Widemouth Bay, Bude, taking Surfing pictures today.... it was actually a lot of fun, a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, and sooooooo difficult!

Lets just say that the quality of the surfing was... mixed.... mind you, everyone in the sea was trying, I certainly wasnt.

I thought that I needed a little sunshine today after yesterdays errr haunting SP! Sorry about that.

Some more surfing and beach scenes can be found in a new gallery, Widemouth Bay Here are a couple of my favourites



Returning home, stopped off at St Swithans, Launcells, styled "The Least spoilt Church in Cornwall" (whatever that means). Some images are in my June miscellaneous gallery. Here is one.
