the view from our 'back door'well we are back from our time at the sea, although only about 30 miles from home it was so secluded it felt like a million miles away.
to get to the site we had to go down a really narrow lane, much like the lanes that surround us here, but without the 'passing places' etched into the high banks over the years by tractors and cars.
however once down the lane and finding where our group were camped we had the most glorious views only about 150m from the beach and being mid-week it was almost empty of the families who arrive on friday for the weekend.
we had perfect weather for all but one day~blue skies, small scudding clouds and a cooling sea breeze. one day we had the odd shower and grey skies but we wrapped up and rigged up a sun canopy against the showers and so still could meet up in the evening and have a good chat and a laugh.
as usual when it came time to pack up and come home i didnt want to~i love creeping into my sleeping bag at the end of a day, into what i call my 'little French sardine tin' covered with a fine coating of sea spray, i just love that smell!
we spent one afternoon fossil hunting and it is amazing to walk along and just find fossils laying at your feet~photos of these to follow when i get my new camera tomorrow!
well, we are only home for another day as wednesday swampy will drop me off at my mum's in the new forest from where my sister sam and i will travel to london on thursday where we will act like tourists and then set off by tube for wimbledon on friday.
i really hate having my photo taken...!

Welcome back, SD.
I hate having my picture taken too! But I love camping out by the sea and that looks like a wonderful area where you were. It looks very beautiful, peaceful and relaxing....and then you get to jump into the hectic big city life in London. Quite a contrast, I'm sure.
You look great it is so nice to "meet" you !!!
ere, what camp was this?
