Beached

It looked from the weather forecast like we would be in cloud and rain for the next few days, so Sammy and I took a chance on some sun and had a quick jaunt to the seaside. It was very calm and we flopped in and out for a few hours being scorched by the sun through a helpful filter of thin cloud. I had to hide under a towel as the day wore on like some camera shy athlete, and it was probably more tiring than work, but great fun to see and feel the ocean again. There were many of the red bodied dragonflies that symbolize the coming of autumn here, but thankfully no sign of the stinging jelly fish that are also a seasonal delight. Sammy did the driving on the way home and he has headed off for a nap. I ought to do the same.
