Lost in Summer

I haven't been able to write much of late. I am still waiting for the right words.
Instead I thought I'd share a few photos on here...

Nothing beats the view on walking alone

Amazing sky at Newlands Corner

Visiting my very favourite place - the beach. Been here a lot lately for the sea air. This picture captured many years ago - remains the best.

Same beach different shot - taken this year.

Some beautiful roses I bought myself when feeling sad. I always do this. These were unusual - coloured like rhubarb and custard - the photo doesn't do them justice.

Spotted at a theme park, in one of their garden areas whilst waiting at a ride.

Just so Beautiful

Going for a walk - the 'Down's Link' way

Yesterday I had to get out for my 'oh no; impending school holiday'/ "get me out of here" walk! I always have done so - for years. I highly recommend it. I only manage a couple of miles but I am not a competitive soul.

We are very lucky to live right on the 'Down's Link' see here and also a more tourist guide here.

Here are a few photos I took on my phone in transit...

Lots of lovely wild flower that is so tall up the banks. Beautiful buddleia - a fond memory of my childhood; catching butterflies with a net and storing in an ice-cream tub : D ( with holes punched in the top of course) but always letting them go. Wonderful.

This area is under development I believe; "fields of gold" in more ways than one...

Looking back...

My favourite bench stop: for resting or a turning point; depending on how I feel. It looks out to a field and a house which keeps horses.Lovely.

Waves

I went to Worthing yesterday. I needed to escape...

Sometimes a trip to the coast is all I need to clear my head. Waves. I love the sound of them and the pure energy that they provide. Negative ions give me a boost. Always have done. I sat by the sea for a short while; I burn even with high UV factor. When I got back in the car my wet cargo trousers were seriously helpful; I like to paddle in the sea - don't care about getting wet much... It's good to be a kid again; even for a short moment.

Here are some pics I took. Not as good as our last visit in April but the waves were better yesterday. A lovely sea breeze was just the medicine I needed. One day I shall live nearer the beach - I can but dream. Until then; wave after wave after wave...

I love Newlands Corner

Newlands Corner has to be one of the most beautiful places to walk in Surrey.They have a great cafe too. Can recommend their hot dogs and chips!

Thought I'd share my pictures from last Friday - which was another fantastic spring skied day... all taken on my little Nokia phone.

If you like what you see here you can go walking there yourself.
