Flat calm

Calm is so unusual in my recent weather history that it gets today's title. Even the boat being hauled up the beach was 'Serene'. I say was, because the pictures were taken yesterday. 

Today the car park visible from my blogging spot is mostly empty of visitors. I've turned the heating up and the cemetery trees are waving in the wind.

Hauling Serene up the steep bank

By tractor and winch. 

Flat calm

Can you spot the face?

 Ducky's and deckchairs

The atmosphere was sedate and not at all like mid-summer. Get a move on weather - it's 'flaming June' in a few days time!

Deckchairs fed up with waiting

Or deckchairs in disarray. These look half-dressed and on the point of giving up. There is the slightest puff of wind which is making their tummies billow.

Desperate to put their hats on

Of the east side of the beach. The Jubilee Gardens which are on the top left of the picture, is where the Queen's birthday celebrations will be held in June.

Panorama

Of the west side of the beach looking towards Beer Head, which for some reason I prefer. Probably due to the chips and tea making a good first impression.
