Hubby's Birthday and a Walk: The Pearl to Brighstone Beach & Back

Tuesday was my husband's birthday so we went to The Pearl near Brighstone for lunch.

It was a lovely day so we were able to enjoy eating our lunch outside.

The view from where we sat.

After lunch we decided to walk down to the beach so we could walk to Brighstone Beach.

At the beginning of the walk, after descending the steps.

The beach was empty, so we were able to let Stanley off. 

How wonderful to have this beautiful beach all to ourselves"

He enjoyed the freedom, although doesn't generally go far from us.

Hurry up he seems to be saying...

Such a handsome dog.

The cliffs had eroded quite a bit.

Some strange concrete object in the sea...not sure if it had fallen down the cliff, having been part of a structure at some stage in the past.

Looking out to sea.

Poor dead crab.

We walked back to The Pearl along the top of the cliff, coastal path.

More of the cliff falling away.

A very lovely afternoon.

 

Sunday Walk

Sunday is the day I meet up with my son (the one with ASD) to go for a walk, but we haven't done so in a long time as the weather has conspired against us.  Fortunately this Sunday it was dry and warm enough to go out for a walk.

He showed me where he walks behind the zoo to see the lions and I actually got to see them better than when we went to the zoo a couple of years ago!

We walked along the beach front.  There was actually a blue sky!

It was nice to see a few families out actually enjoying the fresh air.  It is so important for our health, both physical and mental to get outside and breath in the fresh air, exercise to get the oxygen flowing around your body and help improve your immune system naturally.

There has been a lot of landslides this winter.  

I am not sure if this one happened this year or previous years, but I think it has probably got worse.  This was a WWII pillbox.

Loved seeing this line of gulls along the railing.

This fellow was very cheeky and the bravest of all as he stayed right where he was when we walked past, whereas the others all flew away.

Looking out to sea.

Advent 2020: Day 6 - Sunday Strolling

 

Sunday saw me enjoying a lovely walk at Sandown.  It was a perfect day, if not a little chilly!

The war memorial looked lovely from all the tributes left in November on Remembrance Day.

Love these painted rocks.

The pier looked good shining in the light.

Waves

Beach huts.

The garden 

Advent Day Six

So that was November!

We have been having some lovely sunrises.

A ladybird in the garden keeping me company while I cut up the vine branches.

Sunday was a beautiful day so I took the dogs to Brook Bay for a walk along the beach.

It was really lovely.

Amazing to see the difference in Percy  compared to when we took him here in July.  

So much happier, healthier and fitter, it is wonderful to see.

It was surprisingly busy though, seems others had the same idea to get out and enjoy the good weather.

A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
