Grumble, I wish I could be like you. I envy you

Re: Does The World Get To You?

We want to move to the Coast away from it all and walk sandy beaches with the dog and meet new happy friendly people and do the things we want to do without being told all the time. But yet we have still to retire.. We have a lot of idea's that we hope will go to plan.

Re: Does The World Get To You?

Suzuki Sue, here's something to look forward to... My wife & daughter walking along our local beach during the Xmas holidays... Haven't got a dog, so they took some seaweed for a walk!



But in fact I just have to go to the end of my garden and this is what I see...

But murder, rape, violence, child abuse etc has always been part of our world, it's just that prior to TV and radio and internet news people were less aware of it. It doesn't bring me down, I've become immune to shock.

Re: Does The World Get To You?

What a beautiful beach, is it on the Trip Advisor?
We go to Hornsea in East Yorkshire a lovely little place between Bridlington and Withernsea. We stay in my Husband's parent's Caravan and hope to move there someday...
The beach at Hornsea isn't a sweeping wide beach like your's it has wooden fence's running up from the shore to the sea wall.
Thank's for the Picture

Re: Does The World Get To You?

I lot of you said you avoid the news, etc, but if we don't pay attention to what is going on how can we learn what is going on and demand changes? Have we given up on wanting a better world? I don't want to be blissfully ignorant; but I don't want to be so frustrated at what I see going on around me.

It's such a catch 22.

Re: Does The World Get To You?

I don't really believe they avoid the news. There are too many threads about what's going on in the world. I think it just sounds good to say that

Re: Does The World Get To You?

Suzuki Sue, Yes it is on Tripadvisor - see Fraserburgh beach. You'll notice that it's referred to as 'The Broch' from the Gaelic for a fortification.
I've never seen the beach busy. A few dozen people is 'crowded' !

Many years ago, in the days of the railway, it was a very popular holiday resort, but now it's very quiet - even in mid-summer.
