Golfymoon

The sea fog has gone. In its stead we're greeted by a layer of low cloud punctuated by spots of blue sky and nervous sunshine. 17C expected today but at this time of the morning it's a decidedly bracing 11C. 

Golfers fresh off the overnight flights from the east coast are already out and about exploring the town. A young couple from Bloomington dressed in regulation 'slacks', caps and cardigans ask us to take their photo by the fountain. Photos taken they  inform us that they're on a two week golfing honeymoon. The man calls this a ' Golfymoon ' which we laugh at politely although as attempts at humour go it's about as feeble as they come. We can only assume the bride is very forgiving.


The wild flowers down on the sand dunes joined by this cheerful arrival.


Strawberry time at the bakers. It is their annual tribute festival to the fruit. This morning there are a variety of pies, tarts and Strawberry Danish to tempt the local gourmands.


The all purpose biscuit has been repurposed for the summer. The price has risen to £1.95 which hints that inflation will get it to the £2.00 level by the time the students return in September.


Blogger is having one of those mornings. My attempt to add links is proving to be a zero sum game. I'll try again tomorrow. Here however is one rather interesting link about memory that seems to have made the cut :https://x.com/macrinephd/status/2075930249842266390?s=61
