Dawn, French Apple Tarts and A Wild Sea

02 Nov

1   I was up early this morning and caught the touch a of a dawn sky.

3   We went off to the sea this afternoon in a howling gale (but I needed the sea!) and found the car park as busy as a summer afternoon. Everyone had come to see the full tide in a wild on shore wind. The waves were HUGE and I feared for the little dog hunting rabbits on the edge of the cliff – he was okay!

Sea, Stoat and Sally-Boots

05 Feb

1   From our bedroom this morning, we could see that the sea on the North coast was very rough, white horses all along the horizon so we went down to Chapelporth to feel the wildness of the ocean and the wind, the roar of the waves crashing onto the rock and tried to take photos while being buffeted by the very fierce gusts.

2   On the way home I saw a beautiful creature running across a drive. I identified it when we arrived home and it was a stoat. No chance of a photo but I found this one on a BBC site.

3   I posted some Sally-Boots to a young friend who had her baby girl four weeks early a few days ago. Happily, she’s doing well.  As I was packing them up, I realised where the colour scheme had come from – the orchids that were part of Mr S’s birthday present.
