Yesterday we took a little trip to Hornsea. Its a typical seaside town like many here in the UK. I’m very lucky where I live. Half an hours drive and it’s the east coast. The North Sea is a bit nippy even in summer but the sandy beach is beautiful.
We did get dive bombed by seagulls as we ate. Some of those beasts are like rottweilers with wings! They are renowned for swooping down and nicking a sandwich from your hand so you need to have eyes in the back of your head!

Those gulls are used to people coming there and (probably) feeding them. Even if the water is cold, it’s always nice to be by the water.

Yeah it’s beautiful. Right up the east coast. Great in winter when the wind howls and the sea is wild. Yeah they are scary buggers!

The sea looks so peaceful but I’ll pass on taking a dip! I guess you have to take a bite then quickly put the food under something to stop the bird. I’d grab the bird and ring its neck! 😂🇬🇧

I was born and brought up by the coast. I haven’t lived there for nearly fifty years but used to love spending time by the water – not in it, as to this day I can’t swim. I miss it, even how cold it could be: there was something elemental about going for a walk by raging seas to clear my head when I was stuck on my homework!

Beautiful ocean and beach photos! Yes, those gulls can be very aggressive; you have to be cautious!
