Could it be nicer weather for us to enjoy a few days walking in the Scottish Borders with our friend Janet?
It could not, and here's the proof from yesterday.

Disappointingly, I do not have a picture of Gail swimming in the North Sea at Coldingham Bay, a pretty sandy beach just near where we walked.
She said it was splendid but I have my doubts...
to swim in da noth sea is something for heroes... we applaude your gail for being such a brave swimmer... and we love the lighthouse...
ReplyDeleteSwimming in the North Sea is always somewhat . . . bracing! Lovely views, Nobby.
ReplyDeleteNobby you surprise me - i thought you would be straight into the water. Was it too clean for you?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely walk with beautiful views Nobby. The sea looks bluer than the Med.!

ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby, I am impressed with those views, right enough, pawtikularly the ones with you in them. We did actually get above 20'C here by the Hutch yesterday, which was most welcome, I have to say. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
What a beautiful day with fantastic views!
ReplyDeleteHello, Gail (and Greetings, Nobby), Yes (in answer to your query), I do find myself reading, and re-reading sections, but I think you might agree, as you are half-way through, that the book is consistently compelling. I also confess to pausing and (re)reading something shorter and of a different ilk, most recently John Buchan’s The Thirty Nine Steps 😊. And, hmm, a dip in the North Sea.....here, I might agree with Nobby!
ReplyDeleteGail might be kin to Beau's Dad, he loves to swim in cold water and in fact takes cold showers. I am a wimp and prefer warm water and really hot water for showers. those folded hills are almost as magnificent as the canine watching them
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place for a walk. We bet that swim was a bit on the cold side but also very refreshing for Gail.
ReplyDeleteNobby what breathtaking views from your walk.
ReplyDeleteOur temps this week have been M- 96,Tu-98 and 100 with feels like in the triple digits.
If I a lovely place like that to swim I'd tempted to take a plunge too.
Hugs Cecilia
Such a beautiful sunshine-y day...and some gorgeous views!!!

I admire your weather. We are having an intense heat wave. I feel bad for the kids who are in school.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous day and beautiful skies!!! We would love to have seen that swimming shot:). We finally have some very nice temps, but air quality is very poor with the smoke floating down from all the fires in Canada.

What amazing cliffs! I bet there were some fossils to be found in them.
