OH and I went away for a week. We didn't much care about the weather.
We drank in some silence, peace and enjoyed doing nothing in
particular. As I don't manage much at the best of times the change of scenery was fantastic. Its not that I am a fan of warships if that is what they are! Its that we were near, well not so near that I was uncomfortable, but in the vicinity a Naval port, so they kept appearing by stealth, along with helicopters and I am sure submarines eek. Anyway that is why they are in the pictures. My preference as you can see is for rocks. I don't think its represented well here but those rocks were beautiful to me. The colour variations just beautiful to my untrained eye. Although many were taken on zoom ooooooom on my tiny snappy camera, as EDS and accessing beaches such as these are not compatible. We enjoyed our time together. The dog came too as being rescued he rather felt to be left at home would rather miss the point of being rescued. Husband enjoyed walking him. We stayed as you can see near an old naval lookout point, accounting for the cube like concrete objects in some of the pictures. From my vantage point comfortably ensconced in the living room on a huge sofa I was able to watch some panoramic sunsets. I wish the little cottage which was ours for a week was ours forever. We went in the first week of September, shows how often I blog! They may seem boring to some but for me they represent a week that I wish had been a lifetime.... serenity.

The rocks and choppy waves are beautiful. I wish I lived near the sea also - I somehow always feel better in myself near the sea.
Great shots. Love a moody overcast beach. Glad you got away for a week of quiet and breathing space. Those times are so precious :)
Really nice pictures. Sounds like a great break from the real world.
I love being near water - it is always calming and refreshing. Hope it did you the power of good.
hey achelois
lovely pictures, so tranquil. i find the sea calms me, hope it did you too. im glad you managed a holiday, lugging around eds is such a pain (literally) yet sometimes different scenary helps. x
Thank you all for stopping by, after all this time with me not blogging! I really appreciate it. Oh and a newbie for me here I see, so off to have a peek at a new blog.
If I haven't stopped by your blog for a while I am sorry, although am sure your comments box is happy....
Oh what beautiful pictures. I love the rocks, they show the passage of times which must have been quite exciting when it happened. I wish we would see it in fast-motion film lol.
I love Seaside by the Shore kind of vacations....very nice. Peaceful. Relaxing.
Glad you took the dog. =)
I'm glad we took the dog also sherry (have myelin) so was he.
mega fed up though as we looked to see if we could go the week after Christmas and the cottage is on a long let so I am gutted. Although OH has just woken up and told me he is moving out bla bla, I wonder if he will remember that in the morning although not much good for my self esteem! So good job if he is that we didn't waste the money on a deposit.
Oh dear - so how do you feel about that since it is not a one way street, you know? And did that come out of the blue or were you surprised? No, not good for self-esteem. And why on vacation...
Gentle hugs from across the pond. Keep posting, you make me happy no matter what you have to say.
That bay looks familiar - and stunning in this season (I just came back from a weekend on that coast and absolutely loved seeing the sea again.) I do miss living by the sea.
The very first photo is lovely with the light on the rocks being swallowed by the sea, also the 9th where you see the layers of rock carved out the clifface - nature does that- fantastic!
I'm a little rusty on these things, so I could be wrong, but that looks like an Auxillary ship like The Lyme Bay - so no big guns if that helps:-). Think of it more like a floating lorry ...
And how are you....my friend...?
