7th July. Forecast: blistering hot. But it’s our “walk day”. I know, let’s take a walk along the prom, catch the cooling sea-breezes. But not our prom. Let’s go to Lowestoft, the next resort along. Please, come along…

We’re greeted as we get off the bus by a breeding colony of Kittiwakes on the church tower next to the station. Noisy? Oh yes!

We pause on the bridge to take in the sight of the harbour entrance…

And peer up at… is that Neptune?

The sea is exceedingly quiet, the sun exceedingly bright. But the sun’s not too hot. We walk along…

Cormorants, my favourite sea-bird…

The beach isn’t busy…yet…but the sea is…

Perfection. Time to sit and gaze awhile…

The great British seaside phenomenon, beach huts…

The prom sweeps around the bay which fronts the village of Pakefield…

Pakefield church, looking very Biblical with its shaggy sheep…

Dunes, fishing dingies and sandy-cliffs, that’s Pakefield’s sea-front…

Damaged boats are left on the dunes to crumble to dust…
And now we have to turn around and walk back, and the day’s getting hot. But we did enjoy it. Hope you did too. Makes a change from our greener scenery

Lovely pics, especially since I’ve been there. Love to get back soon.

Usually Lowestoft is the start of a walk north to Gorleston, or the end of a walk from (south) Kessingland. Unusual for us to actually explore the seafront

This has to be my favourite walk to date!

It was very short. And very hot! That was before July sent our temps plummeting (btw, today we’re back to roasting)

Short or not. Hot, not so much fun. We’ve had a switch here, too. Lots of rain in the forecast that actually sometimes falls. The temps are in the mid 20’s which is mighty fine by me.

Strange weather we’re having. Our recent wet dip is due to a change in the jet stream… apparently

It’s been strange the globe over, methinks!

A change of flavor today, from green forest to blue sea. Love these pictures. Especially the one with cute sheep

I fully approve the use of sheep to keep the grass in check! 🙂
