I was talking to my Sis, Jan and she said that a boat which had been put up on the St. Ives harbour wall had been washed back into the harbour and another had been damaged.......and people with children were annoyed because they had been asked to come away from the harbour wall........why do people put themselves and the lifeboatmen who would have to drag them out of the water - in danger.....

Not too bad here, I think last night's winds were the strongest, and the sudden bursts of heavy rain too.....otherwise it is sunny and cloudy and wet sometimes with a bit of wind......here in Herts....

Lovely and sunny here in Gloucester but very windy. So windy that Cheltenham races have been cancelled, almost unheard of in gold cup week.

Did anyone see the photo in the D Mail yesterday of those stupid people taking their child in a buggy along by the sea and letting the waves wash over the buggy? The mail comment was that they assume they would not be putting in for a good parenting award!!

Also the article mentioned people going surfing near Loo, one of whom had never surfed before, and two 14 year old boys jumping into the sea off Plymouth Hoe near the sign that says diving in to the sea at this point could result in death (jagged rocks). what is it that makes people so stupid?

Morning all

Just makes me realise what a stupid teenager I was as we used to do it in St.Ives,watch for the wave and then run like hell before it hit us. lol
I would never of been stupid enough to take a child in a buggy though.
And would give my kids hell if I found out they were doing it now, just like mum and dad did back then pmsl.
Mind you dont remember it being as bad as the last few days, dont think I would of done it if it had been, wasn't THAT brave.

St.Ives always takes a battering due to the Harbour being so open, had a few tankers in the bay as well sheltering.

The trouble is if they are on the harbour wall there is no railings, easy to be swept off, The harbour and Lambeth walk (were I used to run the waves) has railings.
