Yesterday's trip out mid-morning showed the beach on a sunny February day. You can see the surfers bobbing in the waves and the waves just gently rolling in peacefully.

A quick trip playing hooky from work to drop hubby off at the Docs. It occurred to me how much activity there is around the car park. There is a skatepark, the surf museum, Community Centre, Community Veg Patch! Countryside Centre, Braunton Museum and visitor Centre, London Inn Beer Garden, and this morning Passmores fresh fish van a regular Thursday visitor. You can park here and then wander down Caen Street to look at the little shops. There are lots of lovely beaches, but the little towns are delightful too. This morning was a fresh, sunny blue sky day, so it was extra lovely. Went and got a lovely coffee from Deano's on Caen Street, so that is number 3 in my 25 for 25 🩵

Looking through my photos deciding what to post and this lovely not quite sunset has it's reflection on the water and rays still visible. Imagine sitting on this beach on a blanket with a Thai curry just watching the sun set. Just 4 more months tol Summer is officially here, but nothing stopping you coming down for a cheeky weekend before that. Download my free ebook, and besides all the useful info, there is a link to a local accommodation provider with so much choice that you will be amazed. I may benefit a little from you clicking the link, but from the provider, not you 😊

A quick revisit to Raporee to get some on the beach views, a lovely little cove with views of Verity and the harbour. Some lovely wave noise 🌊

We sat with a hot cup of coffee and watched the sun go down listening to the waves crashing as the tide was in. We had a wander up to Barricane, which looks naked out of season without the cafe! The view is breathtaking every time I see it 😊

Here is part 2 from yesterday. I thought she had sent one on the beach, but no, just this one, so that is a revisit on the list. This is a delightful little cove that from memory is sheltered and is a popular spot with the local cold water swimmers 😁 The approach is down a good set of steps and a walk that takes you by some lovely harbour views and the skate park. You can park on the Larkstone car park and walk down 😊 Not for the stair phobic or of sensitive knee!! I am almost sure I have seen some South West Coastal Footpath footprints along there somewhere 😁

My daughter sent me this, she had been revisiting some of her teenage haunts last weekend. This is a lovely viewpoint, I don't get to very often looking back on the Harbour and Verity.

We went up into the Torrs at the weekend. We didn't get where we were expecting to go, but we did stop to get this view, which is stunning and doesn't Capstone look small from here!!! They are tiny, but you can even see the Coastguard cottages on the distance!!

I went closer to the waters edge to get some wavy goodness action for you all, to be caught out by the waves , firstly from the side!! I can not begin to describe how cold it was. It wasn't very deep, but I came out of it, from the knees downwards, soaked in freezing cold water that took my breath away!! and my brand new pink wellies sloshing with it!! Not my best moment lol. As I was making my way back up the beach, 3 people in swimwear, ran past me from the sauna into the sea!! Madness lol.

This was yesterday as there is not much storm wise today. It seems to have missed us, thankfully.
I thought i was getting the sound of the waves lol but it is mostly the sound of the wind

The heavy rain stopped about lunchtime today and blue sky appeared, we grabbed the opportunity for a quick dog walk, the wind was really strong and the waves were crashy, the tide was quite high on the beach. By the time we had walked to the waters edge, any cobwebs had been well and truly blown away!! In just a few short months, the season will start, the weather will improve, and the evenings will be longer(🤞🏼)
