Right now we are sitting on the beach in Bournemouth. Without our passports at the visa office, we decided to try out an English beach for the bank holiday weekend. And this is another live post from my iPhone.
When thinking about the beach in August, I imagine warm sun, 80-90 degree F weather, crashing waves, sunscreen and beach umbrellas. It is a bit different here though. The brisk wind on top of the 60 degree F temperature is amking me wish I had long sleeves and glad I am wearing jeans. After a while we had to pull out our blanket to keep warm.
It is a bit strange to think that this is summer beach weather here when everyone is wearing pants (trousers) and jackets. A few brave ones (or perhaps hardy locals) sport swim suits and dip their feet in the freezing water. The serious ones don wetsuits.
There are at least two people that are happy about the wind. A pair of kite boarders were zipping across the water. It looked like a lit of fun. We’ll have to try it — someplace where the water is warm!
