A Whim In The Sea
55 Answers
So yesterday, I had a swim in the sea. Just on a whim.
In my head, I was going to be like Ursula Andress (Dr No) or Halle Berry (Die Another Day). But with cold water, and pebbles.
As it turned out, the only other people in the sea were the local pensioners, some of whom had tight rubber things on their heads. There must be some sort of "sea dipping" club.
I know Sussex is not exactly glamorous ... it's not Jamaica. But ... Has swimming in the sea lost its appeal to younger people? Has it been replaced by "standing on the beach and staring at your iPhone"? We live on an island. We are surrounded by sea.
Then I went to the shopping centre. I must've been really, really bored to do that.
Desperation!
Hopefully some of you are having better weeks.

BOO
When you look at the photo, all you can see are the footprints as everyone did a runner!
I'm already in mrs-o's book of offenders, yours might be a bit more exclusive ☺☺☺
Still a great beach though.
In answer to JJs question, no I do not swim in the UK sea's because it's too bloody cold. I've been spoilt by Mediterranean and some Asia Pacific seas
