Dorset October

This was yesterday down on Bournemouth Breach. It was beautifully warm and it was a strange sensation to be welcoming the sea breeze on an October afternoon. People were out eating ice-creams, walking their dogs and building sand castles at a time of year that we never expected.

We ate chips on the beach...not something I would so in the summer but somehow the Autumn sun made them the perfect lunchtime snack. Seaside chips are special, I am not sure what they do to them (and probably don't want to know) but they a deliciously fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Some ventured out into the water...I only brave it in the August sun and even then it is freezing. I take my hat off to those nutters...i'm cold now just thinking about it.

Happy October everyone. This time last year we weren't far off the snow storms that brought Britain to a cold stand still. Enjoy it while it lasts but keep those boots and scarves close to hand.
