Had a wonderful walk to the lighthouse in the blustery wind. A wintry, slate-grey sea, tinged with green and occasional sparkling patches of sunlight breaking through low cloud, was soothing on the eyes - a pleasant change from the dazzling glare of summer - and another reason for preferring winter walks along the seafront.
Cormorants, terns and gulls clung low against the bouldered slope to ease the homeward flight, swooshing past at eye level, too quick for a photo. A few breakers thundered across the rocky ledge below the lighthouse, a calmer sea than yesterday but no less impressive. A couple of surfers rode the lesser waves across the bay, choosing discretion over valour.
Tomorrow is set for rain, so for me it's going to be a good book!
