Winter sea  by happypat

Winter sea

A trip to the hospital for Harry for an eye check up.
We walked along the promenade for a couple of miles & as you can see it was a crisp cold sunny day.
Glove weather!

You can see the big wheel on Central pier is minus it's seats, must be in for routine maintenance.

Lunch in M&S & a potter round the food hall.

Three good things:
1. We went round the food hall after we had eaten so weren't tempted too much!
2. Our favourite stir fry for tea.
3. Someone gave us a parking ticket with one & a half hours time left on it at the hospital.

Lovely view!

Lovely capture and it looks beautiful, if chilly. Would love to have joined you, no not for the walk with my knees but for the meal, seen enough of the food halls today.

Great shot.

@ladymagpie Thank Heather I only had toasted tea cake so you didn't miss much. We always pretty much have our main meal in the evening.

A lovely sea view. I have never been to Blackpool - I would probably like it in the winter!! LOL!!

@pamknowler best seen in the winter, its lovely and bracing and doesnt smell of chips
January 11th, 2016  
Love the waves and can feel the crisp and cold!!!
January 11th, 2016  
Fies look like a nice spot for a walk. Even though a bit chilly. Nice of someone to give you there left over parking time
January 11th, 2016  
Fies??? Does...

Super capture

Wonderful photo and a tonic to get a good walk in sea air.
And I like when people pass on tickets with time left.
January 11th, 2016  
Bracing! Beautiful colours and great timing on the wave.
January 11th, 2016  
Love how you've captured the wave, and isn't it good to have some crisp cold days at last?
January 11th, 2016  
A bit chilly looking! We are aware of your temperatures, as our daughter is in London and has been there for about 10 months. She had an exciting Christmas in Iceland.

@dide Ooh hope she is enjoying her stay Dianne.....we haven't had great weather for her.....bit more seasonal today though

@busylady You're telling me Judith....so fed up with rain!
January 11th, 2016  
The sea looks nice and flat here and a very pretty colour thanks to the sky and hopefully some sun somewhere! Always good to include a lunch when you have to go somewhere for an appointment!

@thresheg thank you Graham for your continued faves!
January 11th, 2016  
@pinkpaintpot @pamknowler Linda is right Pam better on a day like this or in early or late season. Avoid the school holidays although it fun people watching in high season!
January 11th, 2016  
@quietpurplehaze Yes it was fresh & healthy Hazel...felt like it blew some bug away!
January 11th, 2016  
@julzmaioro Yes wasn't it just....saved £1.80!

@jokristina @carolmw Thank you Carol & Jo.
January 11th, 2016  
@sarah19 Yes I try & do that all the time......parking at hospital is a ripoff soometime!
January 11th, 2016  
@maggiemae Yes it is Maggiemae although we don't rate M&S restaurant in Blackpool,they are very slow & the loos are rubbish. Convenient though when you only ant something light.

Fabulous! We went to a Christmas market with an old fashioned wheel and the lady there told me that the seats spin over when it's windy (which it was) - as she took money to send children up! I've spent a fortune in M&S today for the diet I'm doing (and it's only me here) but hey seem to have got a had with the book (Lean in 15) because they had things like mixed blueberries and blackberries that are in the breakfast smoothie. Expensive at this time of year though and you can't dilute your meals down with pasta and bread!
January 11th, 2016  
Love the clear blue sky and the pier of course. It does look cold!
January 11th, 2016  
Fabulous scene. I love the cresting wave and the pier in the distance.
January 11th, 2016  
@judithg £ 4.99 for a big punnet of blueberries in M&S today here. I tried some chinos &- tee shirt on today ...I looked awful, very depressing! I don't actually weigh that much, just gone out of shape! Nothing has passed my lips since our evening meal tonight! Good luck with the diet Judith.

Lovely shot. I expect the salty water plays havoc with any moving parts of the big wheel.
January 13th, 2016  
Lovely shot.
