Then ... and now

When we moved in here in early March, it was still glorious summer ... blue skies, calm waters ...



Now it's late May and the winter weather is setting in ... and I LOVE it!!



Autumn leaves just below my bedroom window ... although today I can't even see the bay, as the rain and mist are as dense as can be.




And looking out of Livi's window, this is what we see ...




This anchor was blown up against the breakwater after a night of gale force winds .. no idea where the boat ended up!




If you look carefully at the next picture, you'll see a gull just above the surf line, struggling to fly forward and utterly failing .. the poor thing just hung there in the air for minutes on end, going nowhere as fast as it could ...




The last picture was taken while clinging to a pole, looking towards the sun and into the teeth of a gale! When I got home after this mid-morning walk, my face felt as if it had been flattened out by the wind ...



Winter in Welly - wonderful!!
