Yes, it's lovely. The look of the sea varies tremendously depending on time of year, time of day and the weather. I'm planning to have a walk by the sea today. It's dull and cloudy at the moment but sunshine has been forecast for later.

Anita is lucky enough to have the chance to pass a Noddy ride when she walks along the sea front too. :wink:

Filling the pots with fresh compost, pansies and violas, daffodil, crocii, tulip and iris bulbs for winter and early spring colour, a lovely job on this sunny day with the air fresh and cold and rich as milk and the washing blowing in the breeze!

I think we need a photo of you sitting on the Noddy ride, Anita - just for proof. :lol:

In the USA people have been saying that the day after "spring forward", when everyone has to get up an hour earlier, there seems to be an increase in the number of traffic accidents. People driving to work on an hour less of sleep.

Putting the clocks back an hour isn't much fun when you're on nights and you have to work the same hour twice.

Workplaces ought to make sure the same people are on nights when we lose an hour in the spring!

Let's hope you're working nights on the 24/25 March, John.

I believe we do try to do that at the care home where I work, although I haven't yet been on night shift when either time change happens, so I can't confirm it for sure... :wink:

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

We're enjoying the great outdoors whilst the weather lasts, up here in the hills once the mist and rain arrive they tend to linger :D Hope you are enjoying sunny autumn days too!
