Stormy Seas

 Our journey home from holiday took us down the East coast - stopping first at Dunbar where the kittiwakes in the Old Castle and the boats and visiting seal in the harbour stayed in relative quiet while out in the open sea a storm raged.

Heading South, and back in England, we next stopped at Eyemouth with more tumultuous seas- probably  not unusual in winter but this was supposedly summer!

I was astounded to see this fishing boat heading out of the harbour but presumably he knew a quieter way between the rocks and crashing waves.

 I was determined to have an ice cream by the sea, although this seagull was watching closely and pounced on it the minute my attention wandered!

St Davids

Over the half-term holidays, we headed to far West Wales - to St Davids, Britain's smallest city, feeling barely much more than a large village, with a village square, colour washed houses and, tucked in the valley below, the cathedral and ruined Bishop's Palace.

































We've been visiting for more than 20 yrs - climbing the tortuous stairs in the Bishop's Palace ruins with the beautiful restored Rose Window

I just haven't got round
to the local sport of coasteering - scrambling round rocks at the sea's edge or plunge diving into the Blue Lagoon at Abereiddi
