Funny enough I said that to OH yesterday and he just poo-pooed my comment. The front garden was so close to the beach I imagine if there was even an extra high tide they might be in trouble. We tried to guess how much the section was worth but it literally runs into millions! :eek:

Its not even a big house, but its nice enough with decks front and back. Its lovely with stunning views but Id want to be just a bit higher up from sea level IYKWIM. Apparently the owners are going to knock it all down and build their dream house on there. Its a pity the weather wasnt better so my littlun could go play on the beach. Typical that today the weather is just beautiful.

Nah - we werent fishing today - just going for a spin. A few folk went out the same time as us and came back and they hadnt managed to catch anything. We were talking to the fishing inspector man and he said no one was catching anything today :( Must have been too windy for the fish or something :)

My uncle owns some boat somewhere but to be honest I am not a swimmer and I spent a week on a yaught a few years ago and I was so unimpressed it was untrue. I like the rush of the speed boat so maybe I have just missed a part of it along the way?
