Down by the Adur.

For the first time in what seems like weeks we had some lovely weather yesterday. I grabbed the opportunity to walk with the girls up the Adur, on the riverside walk which is temporarily open during a lull in the flood defences work.

We had a really lovely lunch at the refurbished Amsterdam pub. Once the river walk is permanently open again. I foresee us doing this a lot more often.

The Adur, 6.45am

A marina filled with numerous docked sailboats and yachts is set against a backdrop of a calm sea and a cloudy sky at dusk or dawn.A serene waterfront scene at dusk features small boats resting near a curved promenade lined with benches and railing, adjacent to quaint buildings.

I was early enough out of the house this morning that I had time to pause on the Adur Ferry Bridge and grab some images.

It’s nice to be doing that walk in the early dawn light, rather than in the dark. Spring will be here soon…

What a morning. #shorehambysea #riveradur

A calm river reflects small boats and a row of buildings along the waterfront under a partly cloudy sky.

Shingle beauty on Shoreham Beach

I’m lucky enough to live less than five minutes’ walk from a stunning beach. I know pebble and shingle beaches get a bad rep, but this sort of shingle beach really becomes epically beautiful when summer hits, and the beach flora comes to life.
