lost in action

 10th October 2024, Buston, 7:30am

Three degrees this morning and the sunrise was lost to the low cloud on the horizon.

Geese were flying here and there as showers rolled in from the sea on a chilly breeze

It was good to be back after a few days in Lake District and then a nasty stomach bug that had laid me low.

turn right for sunrise

 4th Oct 24, Shilbottle, 7am

Glad I chose the fields for my walk this morning






time to go

3rd October 24, Warkworth, 4pm

Making the most of a sunny autumn day.

Time for a wander and a snooze in the dunes



Time to leave the beach to become the sea bed for a while as the high spring tide rolls in. Meanwhile the long shadows beckon me home…

 30th Sep 24, Embleton Bay, 9am

In a couple of weeks I'm presenting a talk on the WW2 defences that remain on Embleton Bay.

I wandered up to the anti-tank blocks today in case anything new had been uncovered by recent high tides.

There was nothing new but I love this date of "4th Aug 1940" written by a finger in the wet cement 84 years ago.

Looking up the river as the afternoon fades to evening



green and browns

Greens and autumn browns in stark contrast to the morning's beach

Silver and Blue

 28th September 24, Warkworth, 9am

After a showery day of strong gales, all was quiet today although the sea was still full of waves.
