Mudeford Quay and Sandbanks At Christmas

All I can say is we all slept like logs last night, all the wonderful sea, sand, fresh air and walking has really hit us in all the right places!

Yesterday, we visited our beloved, tres "posh" Sandbanks ........

...... which we swear was busier than we've ever seen it in the summer and if you didn't have a bounding dog, catching balls left right and centre, you were just not part of the Sandbanks crowd!

We also saw a few hardy swimmers, but as of yet Nigel's toes have remained very much strangers to the briny, bless him!

Alice, one again, embraced every single second of it all ........

....... and though the weather can in no way shape or form be described as bracing, just a little nippy here and there, she still says she's glad she packed an extra vest or two, as it's often quite hard to appear fragrant, whilst trying to stifle a rampant shiver.

We all noted that The Isle of Wight and The Needles looked very romantic and shrouded in mystery in the distance, so perhaps, one day, we'll finally venture from English climes to explore its enticing shores, you never know.

Then, it was off to Mudeford Quay .......

...... for a coffee, mince pie and a few more photo opportunities, already thinking that perhaps one, among all the pictures we've taken, may very well make it as a very different, but memory fuelled Christmas card for 2025.

There's nothing like a little planning ahead is there?  What are we like?

THANK YOU Mr D for your pictures of your festive, underwater adventures with Mrs D, we'll publish them in a post when we get home, as we have many followers who are very curious as to what you actually look like in real life, if surrounded by a flotilla of fish!
