Hold your skirts down girls!
I spent an unexpected and very windy afternoon on the beach today.
Weymouth lies on the south coast of England, in the county of Dorset. It is a quintessential English seaside town, full of colour and noise, hotdogs and ice cream, buckets and spades, and people of all ages.
Weymouth will host the sailing competitions in the Olympics 2012.

Oh yes! Typical of an English summer and where is all this wind coming from? I hate it . We are in a very exposed position here – you cant have wonderful views though and not feel the icy blasts that come with them!! Shirley

Great shot Tessa. I want to sit in one of those chairs! Wind and all. As long as it’s not blowing sand with it as it does Down Under. It stings terribly. em
Tessa Bishop replied
‘Fraid the sand gets everywhere here too – in your ice cream, in your sandwiches, in those unmentionable places…!!
Lori Wilson
I enjoy all the stripes in this shot. Not just the blue and white chairs, but the striped vendor in the background.
