........ we were somewhat startled, as we walked to the beach on the other side of town on Sunday, to see this little creature - or rather just its head - watching us!
the "money-pit" house is still for sale ...... but we still aren't tempted to buy it
I was delighted to see these snowdrops - I just can't get them to grow in our garden
but what's this? Did the lighthouse pick up its foundations and move along the breakwater
no, here it is in its usual place! What you don't see in the photos I usually take of it is that there is a turn in the breakwater- on the right of the above photo - which has created the illusion that the lighthouse had moved!
there used to be a steep drop from the path to the beach, but the storms have levelled it out
and deposited a huge mound of sand further along the beach, next to a landslip
when we walked over to look at the landslip, we could hear a strange plinky-plonky sound. It turned out to be water dripping from the cliff hitting these plastic bottles
Malcolm kindly provided the scale for these huge mounds of rotting, smelly seaweed and other rubbish
no, we don't know either how this enormous rock landed on top of what looks like a shopping trolley
there were several interesting pieces of wood on the beach, but they were all much too big to take home!
on a much smaller scale was this tiny dead crab
a whole shell
and shells with holes
on the way back to the flat, we popped into Maisie's for a cuppa
I ordered a salted caramel hot chocolate. The brown on the rim at the back of the cup isn't part of a pattern .......
........... it's chocolate! The cup was dipped in a chocolate fountain before the hot chocolate was added, and as well as the chocolate over the outside of the cup, where was also a thick coating inside. It is the best hot chocolate I have ever had, surpassing the amazing one I had years ago in a Starbucks in San Antonio, Texas!!
