Lifes a beach

It was a bit stormy at the weekend. We had rain, hail and gale force winds but luckly our area has avoided the worst of the weather. During a lull in the weather in the afternoon i thought i would take the dog for a walk along the beach. Keeping up with name changing we shall call the dog Chewbacca, which is a bit strange becasue she is a minature poodle and not some great big hairy beast, but we shall skip over that for now.

So putting on my rain coat and trusty MP3 player we set of throught the holiday camp and onto the beach. The beach is wonderfull during the summer at about 9 inthe evening. Walking along just as the sun is setting, melting into the sea. However it was now the begining of November and it was still blowing a gale and trying to rain. But to my amazement the beach was full of fishermen. Bastards!!! I cant make my mind up if they are a brave breed or just nutters. they stand at the back of the beach and cast their lines into the raging sea. Its while walking along the beach that you find yourself suddenly garroted by an invisble fishing line. Why do they have to take up the whole of the beach? Why do they come out in the worst weather imaginable?

Anyway, avoiding overgrown gnomes we headed off down the beach. Actually its quite nice walking along. So after a while I decide to head home so I turn to go back. Bugger!! I am now walking into a gale force wind and my face is sandblasted. We trudge back.

During the summer its good walking throught the holiday camp becasue women seem atracted by my little dog. Although its hard to look cool when you are holding a bag of poo. There are no holiday makers here today thou. I have actually seen a family walking along the beach in the rain. They were walking along in their shorts and pacamacs while eating ice creams. I think it was a case of "We are on holiday and I dont care if it is pissing down with rain we are going to the beach!!"

Oh how i love the beach.
