Thanks @NatureLover and thank you for sitting with me.
Was thinking how you said you love the beach, I know we can put photos here, what about a short video is that allowed?

My pleasure, Lee 🙂
I don't know, but I suspect short movies aren't allowed, as I've never seen one on here. Better not post it, I think. I guess there could easily be too many identifying details in a short clip.
Yes, I haven't been to a beach in over 20 years, and I miss it. I could actually go, as Melbourne is by the sea, but my agoraphobia means I don't like to travel more than 10 minutes from home or I start feeling unsafe. I don't mean "unsafe" in terms of suicidal, I mean "unsafe" in terms of anything could happen, I could be prevented from getting home again that day and home is the only place I really feel safe from bad things happening.

I'm the same when I have to leave home too, always paranoid something is going to happen, so tons of anxiety if I have to go out . I don't even really feel safe at home, cause it's not my home and there are so many people here.
That's a shame about the beach, I wonder if we asked if they would allow it.

I really feel for you with this, Lee. 😞
It's nice you can relate to me about going out, even though it's not at all nice for you and in fact I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
OK, I suspect it isn't permitted, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask. Is the clip just of a beach? No people in it? @Lee71

@NatureLover just the beach , the water no people

OK, let's ask @Lee71
Did you want to ask, or do you want me to?

@NatureLover I guess I can. I'm just finding some more pics

OK,...I didn't want to take away your independence by asking for you... Independence is very important to me, so in case it is for you too, I wanted to let you ask if you prefer.
Thank you for looking for more pics... I went back today to look at the ones you posted yesterday, and they are even better on my computer screen 🙂 @Lee71

@NatureLover I'm still actually trying to find the beach video, but collecting some photos I've taken along the way.
I wouldn't have mind if yi u had just asked , I will work up to asking
In response to: Re: checking in

OK, I can ask then...
@Former-Member , sorry to bother you - @Lee71 and I were wondering whether Lee could post a short video clip of a beach and water, no people in the clip. I suspect it's not permitted, but we thought we'd ask. (I just read over the Guidelines again just then) Thank you for your time, no rush to answer if you are busy 🙂
