March! by craftymeg

March!

I've been out for about 40 mins,it's nice to have some fresh air but so restricting because of the constant need to keep my foot up so it doesn't swell and cut my circulation off. Hopefully I will be able to let my foot down for longer periods over the next 6 weeks but it's still early days at the moment.

I sat in my wheelchair and took this photo, the beach at Redcar going towards Coatham was heaving. The car-park was full and kids were playing in the sea!! This I find extreme as it is only March and the sea temps will be about 9c and the air temp was still only 12c, but it didn't deter them in the least, most of them were fully dressed!!
Nicer on black

Thank you for comments favs and get well wishes, I've got, another 10 weeks of this rotten cast!!
Good you could get out. My, that must be cold! Good luck for the 10 weeks.

Gracious - these boys all look of a similar colour - maybe not seen the sea! Glad you have an interest while you are stuck in this position!

I wondered what tropical isle you were rehabing at. A nice candid of these youngsters have fun! Hope their parents brought some dry clothes.

I guess kids everywhere have never heard of cold water - just the fun (which you captured so nicely) of splashing and laughing. Hang in there - things will keep improving.

Wow, that really is cold! Kids are amazing how they can swim in all temperatures. I hope you keep getting better.

At 9c it must have been icy cold. We wait for the sea temperature to rise up to 21c or 22c before we have our first dip.

Great playful image despite the cold. Hope you heal well over the next six weeks
