this evening's sunset

almost nobody on the beach

I loves a bit of winter when the coast is all but deserted

Lovely. We stupidly went to Blackpool the day after New Year's Day a couple of year back. Not on the piss or anything like that but the walk on the beach in the rain and wind with the sea roaring away was beautiful.

Boxing Day and New Year's Day swims up soon. It's something that's really taken off recently. Six or eight years ago we'd do it with the surf life saving club the kids were in and there would be a couple of dozen of us on the beach. Last couple of years there's been literally thousands on the beach. I still go to the New Year's one for the spectacle, a bracing walk and a bit of cake, but I'm too soft for being cold and wet, and Boxing Day is now strictly for drinking port and eating cheese n chocolates.

Blackpool? Lovely? Does not compute... ;)

My Grand Parents live just up the road at Fleetwood so pass by / through Blackpool a couple of times a year.

What an absolute **** shithole. It's actually beneath stag and hen parties now.

It is a shithole but for a night out, its still a laugh. In a chavvy sort of way!

Talk to me of Barry Island
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait must I follow
Won't you say "come with me" 

And let the sun set on the ocean
I will watch it from the shore :)

An afternoon in the terraces at Altrincham FC. Another non league ground 'ticked off'

Freezing cold but the FCUM supporters kept me warm as it was packed and plenty of singing and bouncing around. 

finished 3-0 to Manchester.

Lovely stuff :)
