Sydmoth!

On Wednesday the 28th, Ben and i went for a drive to Sydmoth on our lunch break. It took us about 15 mins to get there, all down the typical English lane ways. We found the sea front quite easily with Bens keen sence of direction. It was our first Pebble Beach.
I took a photo of the pebbles so you could see what it looks like. Cool huh. Now try walking on that.
We thought this was a cool view as we were walking down the beach. There are some cool houses and B & B's on the water front here.
See the cliff edges in the background... Feels just like home down at the dell. It was very amazing to see.
This is Me standing on the pebble beach. All along the beach front behind me is all houses and hotels and stuff. Our boss calls it Heavens waiting room. There are alot of rich older people who live here. Its a quiet little sea side town with some amazing hotels and stuff in it.
This is just the view from the path along the beach.
And another one.

This is the water front in the other direction.

This is as water frontage as you can get. It was a very cute place. We think its a B & B.
Ben took his shoes off and stood in the water. i asked him if it was cold. his response was "The longer you stand there, the colder you get". Not like Port Douglas water. I suppose this water would be refreshing!!! He did try walking along the beach with his shoes off and made it about 10 meters before he had to put his shoes back on. After we got off the pebbles and back onto flat ground, it was like getting off a boat and getting back onto dry ground. Felt funny.
Oh and the must have photo of Ben videoing me taking a photo of him.
This is all being done up. It looks like a fort for the houses. I dare say that the water comes up quite high and they need something to keep the water from washing the houses away. Well thats what im saying it is anyway!
And back to us again. Ben loves taking these photos. But if he couldnt then you wouldnt get to see the two of us together much. We dont really trust asking people to take our photo. Dont really want them running off with the camera. What would i put on the blog???

    I though that all beaches in the Uk were pebble beaches...
    I agree with the fort thing - keeping the water out ;) I cant think of any other reason - would be expensive, so it probably isnt aesthetic. Now that i have your address, i can finally post you the stuff you have been asking for ;)
    Good to see that you are getting out of the pub a little bit.
    Miss you guys!
    Love e.

    Amazing photos! Good on you both for taking such an adventure, we admire your spirit. Love the old buildings and the very english views you have snapped.
    Isn't it amazing that there can be such a cultural difference between here, there and the US, considering the English culture was transferred to both countries (more so here). Have fun and we will keep watching your blog (I saved it in my Favourites)
    Love Dad and Susan

    Ben I hope you plan on not shaving that goatee off. I want to see it grow into a festy hairy mass. You'd make me proud.
