Seaweed does not alarm me but I'll tell you why I have no urge to go swimming in the sea.<br />I live near Portsmouth and all the ferries trundle past the beach on their way in. <br /> All those people...all those toilets...where's it all going? No wonder the water is brown. <br />Dale Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911232031451509568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-76455549418732535162013-04-05T16:12:16.956+01:002013-04-05T16:12:16.956+01:00Hi Jackie,

There's so much to do round there.<br /><br />These days I'm not actually scared of seaweed - it just feels horrible.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-74603605142125511672013-04-05T10:16:15.166+01:002013-04-05T10:16:15.166+01:00I agree PM - there's nothing as relaxing and t...I agree PM - there's nothing as relaxing and tranquil as water. and nothing as scary as the sea!<br />My go-to calm image is the view of the sea in the caldera from Santorini. <br />Growing up in Australia, I didn't like the beach as it's all HEAT, SAND, SEAWEED and FLIES here. I only grew to love the beach when I was in Italy and Greece. <br />Now I like it here too, but my kids hate the sand and seaweed!Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-63826786048586509822013-04-05T08:43:37.850+01:002013-04-05T08:43:37.850+01:00Being afraid of seaweed as you are, you're pro...Being afraid of seaweed as you are, you're probably glad you don't live near the beach in Adelaide where we recently had several beaches completely covered in a massive seaweed "dump". Overnight, one beach was four feet deep in seaweed, from water to dunes, over the next couple of nights the same thing happened at other beaches. Front end loaders were being used to put the seaweed back into the water before it began to stink in the heat.

It almost drowned my mother who could not stop opening her mouth to exclaim at the wonders she saw. Which made the worse side of me laugh. After I had pulled her to safety.<br />Seaweed doesn't bother me (I eat it too) but I am with you about sand. It gets everywhere. Including where it shouldn't. <br />Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-50773809383767534522013-04-05T01:10:38.575+01:002013-04-05T01:10:38.575+01:00Ditto.

However, I've been unceremoniously dumped by too many big waves and ended up staggering back to shore with a sand- filled crotch that more than hinted at a potential 'well hung hermaphrodite' status......MedicatedMoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609190990579743429noreply@blogger.com
