Window on winter...

Yep, once the clocks have gone back the wintry half of the year has started in earnest. 
Fairly strong wind from the east for the third day in a row, and big swell battering the Forty Foot. I went to the end of the west pier for my swim, the only place that was reasonably sheltered. 
Grannies in seven layers of cardigans and hat and gloves gave me weird looks. Really weird looks.
