Summer and such

[jpfine]

Well, two full days of temperatures floating around the 90 degree mark has given plenty of opportunity to take advantage of Aberystwyth's two (oh yes!) Blue Flag beaches. Yesterday the sand was too hot to stand on barefoot and today I dug out my swimshorts and had a swim in the sea, which is something I didn't think I'd ever do off a British coast

My parents are away the week after next, your welcome to come and stay.

You lucky so-and-so - I'd give my eye teeth for a beach in Cov right now! (Are you anywhere near Shell Island? There's a very nice clothing optional beach there.)

The swimming pool in the town centre is nice enough to get a bit of exercise and cool down, but it's really not the same.

Hmm, no its a bit of a way up North from here, although *in theory* I could get the train there... I'm not sure I'm brave enough for a 'clothing optional' beach in any case!

[notdan]

For me, the big appeal is not so much that the beach itself is clothing optional, but that the stretch of sea just off the beach is clothing optional ;)

(I woke up feeling like I'd spent all night being slowly roasted, and so am currently pining quite strongly to be able to go skinny-dipping in the sea!)

Oh, and it takes the sea a very long time to heat up and cool down, so even after the current heat wave has passed, the sea should still be relatively warm for a while.
