The British Summer

The British are a hardy race....... The first glimmer of sunshine and they head to the beach and do their best to enjoy themselves...... even in the face of a bitterly cold wind. Only the British would go sunbathing wearing woolly mittens.

I see a bottle nearby that might help the chill also hehe
I have been sat on the beach wrapped in a towel as it drizzled watching my kids actually go in the water and swim

[Wendy]

this is really nice... I really like the positioning of the people one facing in one facing out, it's lovely

[Vera]

Great photo! It speaks volumes, and not only about those two people, but - as you said - about the British in general! I very much like the background with the dramatic waves, and - as Wendy said - the positioning of the two. It's fun to look at it.

[Shirley]

This is hilarious . . . "the sun is out so we WILL go to the beach". An absolute fav.

[Sgt. Pepper]

If it weren't for the humourous truth I would laugh at this ;-)

[Nick]

Haha! Great shot and commentary.

[Wylie]

fantastic, mad dogs and Englishmen!

[Pat Knowles]

I love a people shot the best & this is one after my own heart....a story behind it & a bit of humour ....fave!

[Bri]

A terrific candid, love your write up, spot on

[Lynda]

Great photo. Love the mittens and blankets. Some days you just have to sit in the sand.

[Clare Gadsby]

Gave me a giggle - love the miserable expression

[Montez Sattman]

Hardy indeed! Lol They do not seem to be enjoying their beachtime as much as one might hope. ;)

[Ali P]

Maybe on the inside they are smiling... :)

[Joyce]

Wonderful depiction of the British determination!

[Gavin.J.Cotton]

Fantastic shot. The girls expression says it all "We will not be moved" Lol:)
