Bright sunshine, no wind and warm temperatures, a perfect combination for a late December beach wander, a lovely peaceful sit on My Rock and a stroll onto the islands. I am sure today’s mild conditions were better than some days during our past wetter than normal summer.
It made for an absolutely stunning Boxing Day ….
Since the start of the cooler season, I have been feeling incessantly chilled and cold. I am definitely feeling much colder at temperatures I was once very comfortable with. I have read this may be caused by slower blood circulation and thinner skin as we age ~ at 62 does this apply ...? If so, I now have a genuine fear as to what it will be like in 2074 when I get to the age of 113. Another possible reason for always being cold is weight loss, over the past few months my bathroom scales tell me that I have lost about 14lbs.
Whatever it is, I hope it is temporary ………..
This morning I went out for a very cold wander on Crescent Beach. At one point, I thought the chilled wind from the west was going to cut me in half. Fortunately, I survived and afterwards took a little look around the islands.

this morning’s bone chilling pics …
….chilly wind, but it did not deter me from having a fantastic two-beach morning wander.
With the tide
low and starting to come in, I started off at Crescent Beach where the wind in
the outward direction was hardly noticeable, but on the way back it was fierce and
a little chilly.
Having survived that I decided to go and check out Rissers Beach, where to my delight, I was the only one there to thoroughly enjoy what turned out to be one big sun trap ~ fantastic ….
Here are
some of the pics …
