Tuesday evening is our youthgroup evening in my church. It was the last one this week before we break up for the summer holidays. Anyway we decided as we had been having such beautiful weather here that we would have an evening of games on the beach in Talacre, Prestatyn. It came to Tuesday and the weather took a turn for the worst. Thank goodness it wasn't raining but it was windy and not warm at all, think the temperature had dropped about 10 oC from the week before.But in true British style we went to the beach with the kids. All of us kitted out in sweatshirts, fleeces, trousers and coats and the beach was empty. The kids insisted on attempting to play football in the wind, even though they kept loosing the ball because of the strength of the wind and sand was in our hair and mouths whenever we tried to speak. They then went for a walk to the lighthouse that is on the beach while a couple of others made sand sculptures.
There is something truly British about being on a beach in this weather and you brave it out because no matter what we are going to grin and bare it and enjoy it.
Is this only a British thing or are others nutters like us?

well, you are perhaps a bit more nutters than michiganders, but then again, when you consider the short shorts and tanks that appear on campus as soon as it turns 50 degrees after a long winter.... that's basking in heat!! :) hahahaha....
Your not the only nuttters as you say who go to the beach in the cold weather the irish do the same. its gotta be done though if we only went on the sunny hot days we wouldnt get there very often!! except this summer has been really nice maybe were becoming a tropical country!! hmmmm maybe not
