lapping

All peaceful by the gently lapping water this morning.

An afternoon cycle down the hill to the beach.  When I got there it was low tide so I pedalled up the golden sand for a mile or so. Not many folk around.  Perfect fun on the bike.

Nice and quiet this evening.  The few of us that were here were all hanging about enjoying the atmosphere.

On the beach nice and early to avoid the crowds...

Daisy much improved and happy to walk with us.

 7th August 2020, Boulmer, 8am

Daisy is out of action with a sore mouth -she came 2nd in a fight with a cat.  She's OK but isn't wanting a walk this morning so I was able to go for a nice early bike ride before it got too busy.

Boulmer is one of the few places where fishing still happens and fishermen still live. The tractor was waiting for the boat to come in and there was a fridge lorry ready to load up and head to market - just like the coast should be.

It has to be said they both had their engines running (although the incoming boat was nowhere to be seen) so it was quite smoky and very noisy.

Sometimes tranquility is the cost of lost industry and peace is only found where no-one is working.

Just me and a couple of other dog walkers this morning.

I had a wee lie down in the sand and drifted away with Daisy's lead in my hand so I could keep tabs on her while she watched over me.

the best of the day

A gentle light greeted me on the beach this morning.  The forecast promised rain for the rest of the day so this was to be the best weather for a while.

The unicyclist seems to be a regular visitor now.  I got a photo of him this time...

A beautiful evening sky.  There are lovely views from every corner of this village.
