Seaside walk this morning

Lovely photos Shirley, and I loved the seal.

A super morning out and Gavin a bonus.

We had some very happy holidays at Pagham in the 1950s. It was the first time I had ever seen a real live palm tree! I bet its suffered a lot of new building since then. I think sometimes seals come up to people watch!

Callie, isn't he just lovely?

Julia, the sea water is currently described as poor and folk are advised not to swim there! We saw two people swimming, even though I learned to swim in the sea a few miles along the coast there's no way I would do so now. So much sewage outfall ... eugh!

Siris, I found out that the seal is named Gavin after an RNLI Helmsman who first saw him in the river Arun.

Stera, this isn't Pagham, it's East of Bognor and is called Felpham. Very close, just the other side of Bognor! There has been very little new building on the coast, private estates etc., but inland there is plenty ... :o(

A lovely gentle walk by the sea, it all looks so calm and still. Seeing your friendly seal just added to your enjoyment I am sure.
It is going to be another hot day tomorrow so you might have to head to the coast again!!

Klahanie, it's not a well known area, despite being close to the resort of Bognor Regis and the beach is so very stony! It was high tide which means, until the tide has ebbed back to low, the sand is not in sight so it's not really suitable for families. I hope that makes sense!!

Chris, we shall be meeting up with a cousin of Michaels in Hove tomorrow but it will be in the urban part, not the beach. Mind you, we could always pop down there for an ice cream after our lunch ... :o)

A pleasant way to spend a summer morning Shirley :)

Hywel, it was so very relaxing ... :o))

Shirley I'm watching a sentimental slide show in my head! I don 't think we ever went East to Felpham, but the beach looks so similar to the nostalgic pic in my head! We used to enjoy walking through Alnwick because it was so very much "posher" than anything we were used to!

Ah, you mean Aldwick, where the rich folk have a private estate, rather like the two private estates South of us peasants!! :o)))

Apologies for my lateness, Shirley. Smashing blog! The seal pic pulled at my heartstrings! Beautiful!!! Adorable to see.
Love to see those gorgeous roses by the beach, blooming in abundance. Live the seafront pics. Must've been a perfect stroll in perfect surroundings.

Oh, Gavin the Seal is cute isn't he? It is a pleasant place to stroll along, not too busy at any time of year.
