But there was always the promise of the heat of the late morning sun to burn it off and bring out the sunbathers and the kite flyers.<BR/><BR/>I miss the beach.Sandra Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951819537345588384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-71721976387290907782007-06-12T00:46:00.000+01:002007-06-12T00:46:00.000+01:00WITN:And I was swept away with your use of words, ...WITN:<BR/>And I was swept away with your use of words, with the swirling smoke of the lovely words.<BR/><BR/>I'm a fog-fan.

We had relatives there (they've since moved to Yorkshire, which I still haven't quite forgiven them for - not that there's anything wrong with Yorkshire!)<BR/>It was always colder there come to think of it, but I suppose when you're young, you just don't notice it so much!FunkyMunkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417658638855569577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-89824941433294737442007-06-11T14:27:00.000+01:002007-06-11T14:27:00.000+01:00I'm with you Beatrice.

I went to hang washing out at 7 a.m., still in nightie, and there were swirling mists (or was it smog?). <BR/><BR/>Re Norman's post: I was a little concerned that this mist may have forewarned of visiting Vikings, but no sign of any pillaging apart from the local yobs who've kicked next door's fence in.Swearing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07277450057243928790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-56199286818791311362007-06-10T23:47:00.000+01:002007-06-10T23:47:00.000+01:00Didn't you notice an energetic little white dog ru...Didn't you notice an energetic little white dog running about without any concerns???

If the wind is blowing in from the east then sea fret hits even when the rest of old Blighty is basking in conditions more akin to the Mediterranean.<BR/>Intersting point about this sea fret thing,its usually most prominent at this time of year when the wind is coming all the way from Norway. Strange how the Vikings always chose this time of year to raid Lindisfarne and other such places.
