LIFE'S A BEACH! - PHOTO STORY FRIDAY

-

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek


A recent Sunday morning walk along the miles of Solway Firth coast line en famille and Pippa of course!

By the time l had turned on my camera, father and children were streets or should l say sands ahead of me.....wait for me... no chance..









I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of the images, as it was an overcast, dull and breezy morning.

    tiaras, carrie, chris and brian...
    yeah it is a great beach.
    I lived most of my life off and on on the Kent coast and I always could smell the sea air and hear on the sea and seagulls...when we move dup to Cumbria in '96, I felt landlocked, but upon exploration realised SIlloth, ALlonby and the SOlway were well within kicking distance, a half hour away..

    we don't go often enough...
    Brian..these pics were taken at Allonby, as we were drivingt o SIlloth and tlaking in the car we completely missed the SIlloth run off, and when we saw sign for maryposrt a fewmiles away we knew we wereway off track,luckily all roads lead to wherever you need to be somehow in Cumbria...so we ended up just a heart beat from the Silloth dunes and wide expance of shoreline.

    Cool enough for jeans on the beach? Looks like a perfect place to be.

    We went over to the end of Hadrian's Wall at Bowness-on-Solway. I was amazed at how pretty that stretch of coastline is. Burgh-(oddly pronounced "Bruff") -by-Sands is a very attractive little village. There is so much history there. I was quite taken aback.

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
