Wait for me....

...It was all happening this morning.

After a miserable weekend the surf got its act together.

The boys were out in force riding the swell and even one of the lifeguards took out the yellow rescue board for a bit of fun.

We were forecast surf....

.... so the big boys turned up, but no, the waves were too small; nice new-looking red board.

A very small Sea Rocket in flower. The dry spring and summer has really not suited them this year.

I have been invaded.....

.... in the comments by someone banging on about Tiffany Lamps, they are not my thing so here is some stained glass instead.

I know I have not been around much, sorry about that, I hope normal service can be maintained.

Two plants from the cliff bottom:

Prickly Saltwort, which I thought might have been Sea Rocket when it was much younger, but no.

The Sea Rocket has not appeared this year so fewer butterflies.

The second plant is Tansy and has at last come into flower.

Nice board....

The first surf for ages so the locals turned out, some a little out of practice.

After the rain last night the sun came back after a grey day and we are having a Mundesley evening.

The gulls are all at sea..........

The cricket, don't ask which one, was a bit of a surprise as I have not seen one anywhere for years.

The common blue butterflies and a friend seem to like the sea holly as much as I do. For the record I have now found three of them but only this one is flowering.

Hot...Hot ....Hot .........

The sun is shining and the temperature has gone through the roof, even down by the sea. The sea has gone blue and looks like the Med.

I know the people on the beach want the sun but I would like a bit of rain overnight, we have none for weeks.

At last I have found another Sea Holly ( last year`s example got buried under a cliff fall).

The Horned Poppy from last year is still missing but I will keep looking.

Where does all the time go?

Playing with photoshop while I got over a summer cold, not what I wanted with all this lovely weather.

I got back on the beach today to find everything has been flowering without me.

Common Centaury is looking pretty in the sun and the delicate Hare's-foot Clover was gently nodding in the breeze. It is very dry down there and some rain would be nice, overnight if possible.
