It doesn't feel like it in Northumberland!
This was 'Street Party Sunday' & it didn't improve a great deal as the day wore on & by mid-afternoon another sea-fret had rolled in.

In meteorology, haar or sea fret is a cold sea fog. It occurs most often on the east coast of Great Britain between April and September, when warm air passes over the cold North Sea. The term is also known as har, hare, harl, harr and hoar.....When l arrived at this Location it was a beautiful sunny and clear Day .Half a Hour later this fog came rolling in and reduced the visability to almost zero.
The sun broke through in Alnwick yesterday after about 5 days of solid gloom (a mixture of clouds down to treetop level plus sea fret).
Meanwhile, the rest of the country was enjoying hot summer sun or in some cases summer thunderstorms.
Thus we jumped in the car to do the afternoon dog-walk on the beach - which we did as you can see. Sadly the sun was left behind on the 15 min drive to the beach, but it was atmospheric and actually quite warm!
A few days of relatively warm and sunny weather comes to an abrupt end with a cold and clinging sea-fret, 12C down to 2C.
Amble lighthouse - and the North Sea with Coquet Island somewhere out there!.
Pretty much the same view as in the previous upload (link below) from pretty much the same position on the Summerseats path, flic.kr/p/2mayR9e
Unsurprisingly us dog-walkers had the golf course to ourselves this May afternoon!
Later addition (Oct) - Sadly the tree on the left has been brutally chopped down as the golf course is in the process of moving its clubhouse, car-park & groundsman's store. I don't think that there'll be much improvement to the quality of the curse - but it does release ground for house-building.
Who benefits? Primarily the poor and impoverished Duke & Duchess of Northumberland..........
After crossing the River Coquet the road bends round to give a view of Warkworth's main street, flanked by its grand stone buildings, rising steeply ahead of you, dominated by a huge castle at the top. Except when there's a sea-fret, when you might not even notice it until you reach the top of the hill!
between you and me once again
we hide our emotions
under the surface and tryin' to pretend
but it feels like ♬♪ there's oceans ♬♪

I heard whispers in the summer breeze
Telling stories of you and me
All the beauty I’ve ever seen
I’d choose you over everything
Oh, Valentine, you’ve got me confused
No I don’t believe in angels but now that I’ve found you
Oh, Valentine, I think I’ve found my faith
No I don’t believe in heaven
But I saw it in your face
Oh, Valentine

♫ Seafret | Valentine ♫
what are you listening to?
searching for some kind of meaning
answers I can believe in
what you say tells me nothing
what's the truth, give me something
take me down a road I believe in
lost the way, lost all reason
It will be interesting to see if this tree's root system will be able to cope with the weight imbalance caused by the loss of its branches on one side.
This was one of the days last week when the Midlands and South were sweltering in the mid 30'sC. We had a persistent sea-fret!
Between me and you once again
We hide our emotions

Same location as my previous Photo...Taken an Hour before it was engulfed by Sea Fret.. After that it was lmpossible to see the people below on the Beach .......In meteorology, haar or sea fret is a cold sea fog.

Revealing what was missing in the previous day's shot.
The ever-extending Willowburn development on the south side of Alnwick. In the distance is the tell-tale grey of a sea-fret which enshrouded the coast for nearly a week, though in Alnwick it was clear.
In spring , but feeling chilly because a cold sea mist (sometimes called 'haar' 'fret ' or 'roke') was drifting inland.
Lythe, North Yorkshire.
The East and West Piers and the lighthouses at Whitby. Taken on a rather misty Monday with the sun reflecting off the back of it leaving the whole town bathed in a rather surreal yellow light. The effect lasted most of the day until the rising winds of the tail end of Hurricane Ophelia started to clear it away out to sea.
Thanks for taking the time to view this and other images in my photo stream.
High pressure in summer is normally associated with a spell of settled good weather. Unless, that is, the high sits out to the east over the North Sea, when it tends to bring in a cold and clammy sea fret (or haar or fog depending where in the UK you live). So no basking in warm sunshine for us for a couple of days, the temperature only making it up to a rather chilly 12-13C!
Taking further advantage of the golf course being fog-bound, I came across this gorgeous wildflower border at the course entrance.

We had a couple of very nice days in the middle of last week and there was a definite feeling of spring in the air. But it wasn't to last and on Friday a freezing cold wind brought in a sea-fret from the North Sea at the end of the afternoon obliterating the view.
Not being able to see into the distance seems a metaphor for life at present as restrictions on movement have been pretty much universally applied, thus closing us in to a large extent.
My thoughts go out to those in the most vulnerable groups who have been told to stay indoors for the next 12 weeks (or more) for their own safety, to the homeless, to those who live in flats, to those who live alone and above all to those who have family and friends with the virus or who know the grief of losing a loved one recently - and definitely to those risking their own health on the frontlines. Love and virtual hugs to all.
The main harbour at Scarborough with the fishing cobbles and pleasure boats tied up alongside ,with the whole of the town shrouded in a sea fret or mist.The Grand Hotel can just be seen rising up out of the gloom on the headland but the South Cliff and behind that Oliver's Mount remain hidden from view.

Do you think of me when you look to the sea?
I know it's hard to grow when you're pushed to your knees.
I know our time will pass, your love it will last.
Darling we will never break.

I run to you
In early hours of the morning light
When the world outside my window’s
Filled with fire burning bright
I run to you
‘Cause no matter where I go or what I find
Nothing ever quite compares
To how you make me feel alive

"Pasarán estos días como pasan
todos los días malos de la vida
Amainarán los vientos que te arrasan
Se estancará la sangre de tu herida
El alma errante volverá a su nido
Lo que ayer se perdió será encontrado
El sol será sin mancha concebido
y saldrá nuevamente en tu costado
Y dirás frente al mar: ¿Cómo he podido
anegado sin brújula y perdido
llegar a puerto con las velas rotas?
Y una voz te dirá: ¿Que no lo sabes?
El mismo viento que rompió tus naves
es el que hace volar a las gaviotas"

Fog from the Irish Sea heads over Marine Lake towards West Kirby on the Wirral, North West Engl;and.
Taken at the Lifeboat Station. We were up in Geordie Land for 3 days, and all we got was fog, more fog and then the rain moved in.

Sunrise Sea Fret at Steetley Pier, Hartlepool
Last Monday, on day 33 of my 33 day road trip around the UK, I dragged myself out of bed at 3.45am and ventured down to the hugely photogenic (not to mention huge), Steetley Pier in Hartlepool for sunrise.
On arrival, the colours on the horizon were wonderful and vibrant and a decent sunrise was promised. However with just ten minutes to go before the sun was due to rise at the end of the pier, mass amounts of sea fret rolled in to completely obscure the view of any detail.
I stood there and looked at Lee, my photography buddy I met down there, and said, "What the hell has just happened?" "Where's the sunrise gone?" Lee laughed, and I eventually did as I realised that it is rarer to photograph the pier in heavy sea fret (sea fog) than it is during a decent sunrise. There was also a high tide, which allowed the pier to be completely isolated from everything.
So here is an image of Steetley Pier that was as captured in camera. Nothing has been cloned out and I especially love the inclusion of the slightly blurred birds that sat on top of the large circular tubes on either side of the pier.

One upside of the heavy fret was the ability to wander at will over the golf course, and when this juxtaposition loomed out of the mist, it just had to be photographed - this is the result with no manipulation!

Mullion Harbour, located on the west coast of the Lizard peninsula, has been withstanding the Atlantic waves since the 1890s, when it was built by Lord Robartes of Lanhydrock House near Bodmin, in an attempt to create a commercial port. The harbour did not function well for larger vessels but it did work well to shelter the local fishing fleet. Today it provides a haven for a few commercial fishing boats, outdoor activity providers, recreational boats and a dozen seafront properties.
It is believed that Mullion Cove’s net loft was built in the late 1770s. This was at around the same time that the pilchard fishing industry was beginning to expand. In 1783 the fishermen of the cove applied to the Robartes family, to develop the cove into an inshore pilchard fishery.
Fishermen would come from the villages on the east coast of the Lizard, such as St Keverne and Cadgwith, to fish the seine boats from Mullion Cove. These villages are only a quick drive away today, but in the 18th Century it would have been a huge trek. Therefore, the fishermen would sleep on top of the nets in the net loft. This explains why the building has a chimney. The inglenook fireplace facilitated cooking and provided warmth.
The net loft remained as an extensively used functional building for over 100 years, until the pilchard industry came to an end in the latter part of the 19th Century. Not that long after the harbour walls were constructed, and although the building was not demolished, it was reduced in size to make way for the harbour development.
The net loft is still in use today as a store for fishing equipment and gained Grade 11 Listed status in 1984.

The end of June gave us beautiful orange sunsets. The start of July has given us 2 mornings of an eerie cold mist across the marina at sunrise. I’m told they are sea frets.
I usually see the fishing boats going out early morning and the fishermen making their way to the harbour wall to spend a relaxing day fishing. But there was just the the one person on the boardwalk this morning.
