Frost, Crocus and The Beach

16 Feb

1  We woke to a clear, bright and frosty morning – no rain!

2    In fact, it has been a glorious day with sun that warmed us up, encouraged the crocuses to open right up and encouraged lots of families to go to the beach to play. Our closest beach and one of our favourites has been stripped of its sand by the relentless storms of this winter.  I have known this beach for over forty years and have never seen it like this before. We hope that over the next few months the tides bring back all our soft, golden sand. However, the Grandchildren dug channels and redirected the streams and made dams and were happiness personified in the delight they showed playing by the sea!

Seagulls, Frosty Fields and Successful Sales

09 Dec

1    Dawn was very interesting this morning – no colour in the East but a beautiful pink tinge in a thick layer in the West. The seagulls were calling loudly from the chimney pots this morning too.

2   It was a very frosty morning and the fields at the back stayed white until well after 11am. They were very beautiful with the sunlight glinting on the grass.
