Worked at home today and boy was it hot. Absolutely scorching. The sort of heat which saps energy and makes you long for the sun to drop in the sky and cool down. How can anyone in Britain say that? A country with one of the most unpredictable climates in the world. Putting the tools of my trade down just before 6pm Julie and I headed down to Sand Bay for an impromptu picnic. Actually the picnic consisted of a round of vegetarian burger sandwiches and a raspberry ice lolly. Selecting a comfortable log we sat and watched the tide come in. It was glorious. A number of people had come to Sand Bay to enjoy the sea air and it always amazes me that a place I go to for wildlife, attracts a number of families for a more natural beach day. Having so much silt and mud sloshing about the Bristol Channel will never make this Bay a beach haven, and for that I'm so pleased. I love the bay, its remoteness, yet close to Weston and especially in winter the huge numbers of waders and birds which over winter here. For today however we just sat in the sun and soaked up an overfill of Vitamin D. Perfect, just perfect.
