Stormy Blackpool

We live in between Preston & Blackpool so I needed to change something at M&S, Blackpool is much easier to get to down the M55 so I decided to go there.
Well the wind was so strong it nearly blew me off my feet.
I hung on & managed to get fairly near the sea although the sand & spray was blowing in my face.

Three good things:
1. I bought a natty thing that fits under the mattress & holds my book. Since we got a new divan bed I can’t shove the book under the bed like I used to. It holds my kindle & any library book I’m reading.
2. Despite being windy it’s warm in the sun.
3. Little Titch the dog Harry is minding has perked up & eaten all her tea!

Very dramatic. You caught a lot of action with water coming over the sea wall. I like the wave action and the clouds.

Somewhere I've never been. This is lovely. The sea is quite dramatic and I really like those flat stone-like sculptures along the sea front.

Instant fav. An amazing capture of Blackpool's shoreline. I visited Blackpool once, years ago, and the weather was very similar to this.
