This beach on the south coast of England near Chichester is beautiful even on such a cold, windy day. But what is most remarkable is how English people are able to enjoy the beach even in the most inclement weather. I've seen this time and again and must admit to being a great admirer of their determination not to allow the changeability of their weather to spoil their fun. This is also seen in the way they enjoy long-distance hiking or rambling, as they call it, even in the most bitter wind and rain.
This photo of West Wittering was taken on a 1997 vacation to England. I walked here for some distance with my husband and my son on a bleak, damp, cold, and windy day. This seemed a very English thing to do: it reminded me of the times I had seen people enjoying themselves at the beach in this kind of weather. One of the things I admired in the English when I lived in their country was that bad weather never seemed to deter them from outdoor activities even on a cold winter day.
