Gale.

A slightly deflated cyclone turned up today. Which is an ideal time for a walk on the beach. It was a struggle walking into the wind, I almost had a hard time catching my breath when the wind gusted. I might need an extra coat of paint as I was thoroughly sand blasted. The sea foamed and roared, almost engulfing me on several occasions. In other words, brilliant.

I took refuge in the changing rooms to wring myself out and take a couple of photo's. Someone one ( I suspect there will a search started for Mary Poppins) who had their umbrella inverted by the wind, and had left it in the changing rooms. I included the umbrella as i thought it gave an idea of the strength of the wind since you don't get it from the sea so much.
