PAKEFIELD NR LOWESTOFT

Today Jan Derek and I had a wander to Pakefield to get a nice sea breeze!!!!! Wrong!! it was so hot we could not believe it. the sun was brilliant and the people were out in force did not like to take photos of all the near naked bodies, but there were a lot.....
This is a misty pic of the pier and you can just make out the wind prop in the distance that is Lowestoft.Lots of people swimming.....
This is up the cliff end and the sun was gleaming on the water but further on you can see the mist....
Nearly all the beach huts had people in them today ......
These lovely donkeys were having a rest......
This is part of the gardens on the cliffs.....
These believe it or not are blind bowlers..... they are shouted instructions by the sighted people, and you would be surprised to see how very good they were.
They are so very brave....I admire them for getting out and doing such a hard thing....
Here are some of the dogs, which were waiting for their owners....
Thanks again Jan lovely walk and so pleased you came as well Derek, you will probably sleep all afternoon....but thanks for the ice cream.....

Wow, what a brilliant post!
I love the donkeys and the guide dogs.
Do those blind bowlers have some kind of built-in sonar, like bats? That's weird.

Thank you Beryl for the lovely tour...it was very nice. How lucky you have so many gorgeous places near you that you can take your exercise in.....I'm jealous!

How amazing are those blind bowlers? I can't throw straight and I can see what I'm aiming at...lol

Despite the heat, it looks like it was an interesting day. I love the idea of blind bowlers.
