wow isn't he looking good?  but Mr Beach Cottage you are looking a bit vintage on your birthday today!

not really this is a guy I see around the beaches all the time…normally he is wearing one of those rather odd looking crash helmets with the open front..

I believe he follows the surf…at one with the waves…and there have been big old waves down my way these last few weeks

I had to get a picture of him..it seems he toodles into my life all the time..it is funny how that happens isn't it, I can go months without bumping into someone who lives across the road but him well he seems to pop up all the time.

I thought about approaching him as he jogged along before going in the surf…I thought I would ask him if he would like to do an interview…I thought perhaps about asking him over for Afternoon Tea…in return for some stories for the Beach Cottage…

I decided though that he would think I was rather a loony, asking for an interview for my website and so I quietly watched as he patted on by…

…I am truly revelling in the colours of winter and the man by the sea…

if you are landlocked you might enjoy listening to the waves..abeachcottage does winter…
