An Interlude in Seaton

After spending 8 to 9 days in Spain I headed to the south coast of England for a few nights before the next leg of my journey across the Atlantic.

In fact, I stayed much of the time at Phil's apartment in Poole and enjoyed weather that was strangely warmer and sunnier compared with Galicia.

The main excursion during my 5 days in the UK was to Seaton, an attractive spot on the east Devonshire coast. Strictly speaking I actually headed to Beer - yes, such a place name exists - which is paired with Seaton. And that's where my niece Elly lives with her three kids and husband Jon. Alas, he was at work as a local doctor, so we only saw Elly and her children and also Brian and Daphne who motored up from their home in Plympton, not far away.

I took a few pictures of our time there - mainly on the beach. Note have glassy the water is. as I said the weather was hot ... but also there was little breeze and virtually no waves. This is the view from Elly's home. Nice isn't it?


And here we are with Elly and her kids on the beach for lunch, along with brothers Phil and Brian.




The beach itself is rather pebbly, like much of the southern English coast-line, but it seems to be a good spot to park one's boat!



Given the weather, it was not surprising to see a lot of people lying on the beach or swimming in the water.



There was a small playground near the beach that the kids enjoyed.




































 And here are three well-known dudes enjoying the sun.
