Hi Mau and Jenny---yes long time no speak but meeting with Kim tomorrow night maybe but definitely Friday.

eek not a Smith? Evil name LOL.

I'm just about to head to bed myself. I've been sticking my nose in here on and off.

Night, hun ~~~

Hi Liz, where have you been? I am still up and about, but ready to 'retire' any minute.

Have been burning the midnight oil, looking for a SMITH marriage for another member. Got quite obsessed in helping and have been on Ancestry for hours, when it decides to work???

Hope all is well. Will PM you tomorrow .

Ah now the mist that clings in the dips first thing in the morning when driving through the county is a different thing altogether. Quite spectacular.

Hiya Jenny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How you doing, hun?

I've never heard of sea fret and we don't get anything like you describe. Mind you, even if we did, the mass exodus from the beach would probably be the sum total of 3 dog walkers 4 elderly couples and an ice cream van. Although we're on the coast (surrounded by it really) we don't exactly have a much of a sea front deal going on. It's a shame and we shan't go there as I'll be on my soap box all night LOL.

*hugs*

It also happens over the Somerset Levels. Weird when tree tops and hills like Glastonbury Tor stick up as if rising out of water.

We in south northumberland tend to call the Haar what you get after a thunder storm. x

Yes, sitting on Carbis Bay Beach in Cornwall....mist came in from the sea and rolled up the beach until you could not see 5 foot in front of you.......covered in cold damp cloud, and it was really eerie......then it seemed to just go and it became clear again....

It happens along the Bristol Channel sometimes too.

Not heard it called that before though.

Sue

Sorry folks, got a bit lost on Ancestry.

Thanks for all your replies. I find all this 'Sea Fret' fascinating. (Sp) Went out as far as the back door not long ago, and it is damp and foggy.

'Google' Sea Fret. It explains if fully.

Jenny

Hi Ann, long time no speak Lol. XX

We get them along the south coast as well, although I've just called them sea mists.
One hot sunny day in Hove, OH and I decided to have a picnic on the beach (10 mins walk away). At the last minute he decided that rather than walking to the beach, we should drive to Camber Sands (45ish mins drive away). I had never been there, and he said how beautiful it was with the sand dunes compared to the pebble beach of Hove.

Well, we sat by the sand dunes and ate the picnic shivering from the cold. We couldn't see our hand in front of us, let alone the sea. That was my first and last time at Camber Sands.

What a wonderful name :o)
Don't get it here - too far inland!!

Well I never knew what it was called, but I do now ;-))

My mum used to get this in Tintagel in Cornwall when she lived there. Annie

We used to get it in West Cornwall and some days it was a nightmare. One winters night driving over the county from south to north coast it was so bad that I literally couldnt see the front of the car bonnet now that was scary

Hi Jenny---yeah even get a bit of it in Drlington and the real term for it is a Haar---that's what its called up here
I remember often when we were kids and we got to the sea there was a fret----go inland and it's gone---but not today
