Muddy Marge

Longwick (Home)

All cosy in Marge last night. A glass of wine and a good book, what's not to like.

A respectable 14c in Marge this morning, not bad for the third week in November.

Whilst in Swanage today, we called in at the estate agents, picked up a couple of Ercol dining chairs in a shop to boost our stock, and also a mid century clock for our own collection.

All this shopping made us hungry, so we treated ourselves to homemade fishcake, chips and a variety of pea sides and sat in the warmth of the fish and chip shop to enjoy them. Outside. the stiff breeze was tugging at the feathers of the young seagulls, as they waited in anticipation of some tasty tit-bits.

After lunch, we took a walk along the seafront and noticed the pristine sands of the summer months, were carpeted in waxy seaweed. Sadly, upon closer inspection, a tide of plastic, invaded this display of nature. A lone lady, was picking through the plastic , removing this poison that has become a worldwide problem. Sadly, it will take more than one ladies efforts to solve it, but good on her, we should all be inspired by her efforts.

It has been a productive day, but we decided to head home later this evening. There is a weather warning for the south coast tonight and tomorrow, so it would be no fun in staying away.
