Clart avoidance last week. Wind sculpted sands before Steetley Pier looked like a work of art. The pier itself is the most photogenic structure ever!! The wind was bitter so we cut through Spion Kop Cemetery for a quicker getaway!

Looking a bit worn after a few years on the beach. The other posts have vanished under the sand I think. There was a funny one about a well known Headland chippy and it’s very limited opening times 🤭

A bit of cheeriness on a dark night. I have to push myself to embrace the dark nights so Wintertide was lovely ☺️ I picked up a fab anthology of poetry and a little wish scroll too ✨🌟

One from Wintertide last night. It was too much faff with gloves, pockets and phones to take any more pics! Loved having a walk around the Headland in the dark. The light installations were perfect on a dark wintery night. Huge well done to all involved #Wintertide25 #HartlepoolHeadland

For the time in ages we found the time to have a family walk. Along the top to Steetley Pier then dropped down on to the sands to walk back. Sun in our eyes and a sea breeze to blow away the cobwebs. Not a long walk but enough to get the feel good factor and forget responsibilities for a while.

A morning swim to start the new week. We’ve missed a couple of weeks (not enough hours in the day) and the sea is now prickly cold. Still did a couple of widths 🥶😂 #Seaham #NovemberSwim

Putting one foot in front of the other is a win for me today. Taking Midge round East Park was the last thing I felt like doing this morning…….feel more like hibernating!

Post swim bacon sandwich and hot drink in The Lookout at Seaham Marina. The sea was so calm and inviting this morning. Perfect dolphin watching conditions……..and sure enough we saw a large pod moving up and down past the harbour 🐬🐬

When spare time allows and conditions are suitable we find ourselves heading to Seaham for a swim at every opportunity. A bit of “us” time. Six months since we lost the MiL and we are still wrangling adult social care and probate issues #Seaham #SlopeBeach

It’s been ages since we had the opportunity to stroll along one of our local beaches. Gorgeous Saturday afternoon mooch along Easington beach. Pleased the steps had been dug out. Last time we tried to get down a land slip had covered them up!

I’m gardening round the front……..always watching 😂🐾 The husband has the wood stashed to make a new back gate. I have requested eyeholes suitable for humans that are 5ft 2 or 3 as a new model addition 😂 👀 #TheWorldOfMidge

For #TerrierTuesday I present Midge to you for your entertainment! More of a #TippyHead than a #TiltyHead 😂🐾 Usually means “what did you say” or “where we going” or “what are you eating” or “giz a bite” 😂😂

Was a good call to swim this morning! Well, I say swim but it was more of a dip really! 5 or 10 mins bouncing in the swell followed by a hot malty chocolate drink. Only about 4 feet of swell but some good ups and downs 😃
Seaham, pre Amy!
