High, High Tide

Saturday

Dear Elsie

Today was the day you and I had a fine chat and you showed me how you swing on your indoor hammock. It will be interesting when you read this in the future, what your adult self remembers of the indoor hammock. You can make it rock! You watched the cats and showed me your book and I also saw the new part of your house, which is so exciting. I did 2 loads of washing, which in hindsight was a bit too much as the day was gloomy and the scullery is now taken over by all of it.

In the afternoon, I had a snooze on my rocking chair which was wonderful and then I went for a walk during high, high tide. I went down to the coast, crossing the bridge and then turning back just below Sunnycove Station.

The tide was high and the sea was boisterous. This beacon I can see from my desk.

Looking up to our house…

The beacon from our house…it’s on that outcrop of rocks.

The busy sea today…

Then I hopped and skipped along the cat walk. Skellies pool fill to the brim…

I had to pick my moment to get past here…

The flooded subway…

The sea had been right up to the restaurant…

Not wanting to return along the cat walk, I walked home the mountain route. Enthusiastic surfers were taking on the waves…this is from Daisy Lane.

Home along the very overgrown mountainside and back down through the new part of the build. Remember this photo…

Well this is looking down from the other side…

Stairs will start appearing soon.

And now, there’s pizza for dinner and it has just arrived. Time to go!

Psalm 149:1
Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song..

It’s not about now – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,

Gran xx 🙂
