This is the “other” bay at N-BTS. It seems to have more character than the one with the lifeboat in it. Lots of places to investigate and scramble over. The view you see hear is from the Church Point Caravan Site, a place that affords some of the best views/access to this area.
I realise this posting is not very interesting to many. In order to improve it a little, may I suggest some good talking points?
1) How important/attractive is it to you to live near/by the sea?
2) If you live near the sea and do not have sea views, do you wish you had sea views?
3) If you do not live by the sea, do you secretly foster a desire to do so?
4) In the event of a nuclear holocaust of which you are a survivor, and, given the emergence of some sort of post-nuke semi-organised Western'esque society, do you think you are more likely or less likely to posses a continuing interest in purchasing and eating full-fat Hellman's Mayonnaise?
Certainly worth thinking about.
You cant eat fish without it, so I think that we will have to get the power going to run the Helmans factory, then the factory itself. Of course there could be violent mob wars with those stupid heinz tomato ketchup people.

I was born fairly near to the seaside, at W/Bay. In my youth I practically lived on the beach all year round. When we moved to Cramlingtonshireville some years ago, I thought I would miss the sea, but I didn't. However, I now DO harbour (see what I've done there?) a secret desire to return to that domain. I leave you with some verse from Spike Milligan; "I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky. I left my vest and socks there, I wonder if they're dry?"

I have that desire ... to live by the sea, not purchasing Hellmans ..... When I heard that Andy was hoping to move to N-BTS, well that sealed the relationship. Andy just wants joint ownership of my rather splendid pepper grinder.

I love Hellman's and I know things are bad and none of that diet stuff. Eeeewww.
Regarding the sea, as you know we are still in our first year of this 'living by the sea experience', so as a fresh newcomers point of view, I have to say that the most wonderful thing for me personally, apart from the fresh air, is the sound of the waves in the distance.
Remember, I was born in the midlands and only saw the beach once a year.
