A Little Sun

I promised you some photos from our lovely walk out on Sunday so here they are as promised.  We did take the car and drove south for a few minutes and then took a right in an effort to find the back of our little cottage.  We were rewarded with some stunning views and earmarked this one for our visitors next week.





The sun was shining and although cold blew the cobwebs away.  It was a joy to take a stroll and find a little shelter from the wind.






We sat awhile and just watched the waves rolling and crashing into the rocks.  I never cease to enjoy the pounding of the sea and the beauty of the land that meets it.  The ever changing seascape and landscape making each photo taken unique.  No two pictures the same.










Sadly despite a little sun it was still cold so we didn't linger for too long and were thankful no other vehicles wanted access... see for yourselves!



On our drive home we were rewarded with a view of the first lambs that we have seen this season.  What a joy.




Sadly, the temperatures have once more plummeted and we are back to howling winds and rain.  The ferries are cancelled today too.  I do hope that the weather improves soon, our first set of visitors arrive on Monday.  They are due to fly to Inverness and then travel over to the Island via the Ferry.

As always I thank you for your visit to this blog and hope you enjoy some of my little adventures through life.

See you soon.

    That is amazing, with the pebble beach and the rocks, then the sheep that could be Wales. The sky is so blue, it was like that here for a while but we are back to grey, rain and hail again.

    Makes you wonder how the lambs survive in such weather doesn’t it. Lovely pictures.

    Gorgeous photos! I love a bracing walk on the beach, but you have to walk with your back to the wind or you'll get a sandblasted face!! Our beach is very wide and flat and no rocks ( although the sea does come over the seawall farther up the coast when it's rough weather )Best, Jane x

    What a magical place to call home! I could almost hear the waves of the sea. And those precious little lambs are just so adorable. Blessing to you!

    It sure is stunning where you live! It is a shame that winter has returned but hopefully, it is just for a few days.

    The views of the ocean always make me happy. And of course the new baby lambs do as well. Hopefully the weather will improve for your visitors.

    It's always nice to see seascapes and even though it seemed a bit chilly you at least had some sunshine on your outing, Lorraine.

    Lovely pictures. We had warm weather today, that dissolved into fairly strong winds. I was wondering what the noise on my front porch was and saw that our little bistro table had traveled from its corner towards the front door. I hope the weather works out for you and your visitors. Loved seeing those lambs.

    Such beautiful pictures! We had snow showers yesterday and temperatures in the low 30's and today we were in the 70's! Crazy weather lately! Enjoy the rest of your week!

    Blessings,

    You are blessed with great view. I am sure your visitors will enjoy visiting and enjoying the seascapes and looking at the new lambs. Hope the ferry will be back in operation for your visitors to arrive.

    I bet that visit was so relaxing next to the water. Such beautiful photos too. Just an FYI, one of your comments on here is a "escort service" you may want to delete them.

    How lovely to to have the beaches so close... I too love the view and sound of waves...Your pictures were so relaxing ... but I laughed to see how thick the sheep coats were...It's probably a strong indication of the chilly weather...You live in such a idyllic part of the world...It's beautiful....Hugs

    I like the winding roads between the stone walls. The worn rocks at the seaside are really interesting.

    I really enjoyed your scenic adventure.. I never tire of images of the sea and beaches and the cute little lambs. I do hope the weather cooperates so your dear family can safely arrive to your cottage. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

    When driving to CA last week we took the inland route which means we did not get to see the sea, so I especially appreciate this post, and seeing the precious lambs, too. Thanks, Lorraine xx

    Once again your photographs are a joy to see. The views of the ocean are wonderful and I feel as if I can hear the sea as I type this!

    Always nice to see the baby lambs.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your weather improves for your family visitors. Have a wonderful time together.

    All the best Jan

    Lovely to see your photos, thank you for sharing. I did Geology as part of my OU degree, I'm no expert but thoroughly enjoyed the course. Seeing the rock formation outcrops at their strange inclines again, brings 'some' of it back. Fascinating. Cathy x

    Lambing time is such a fun season. I wouldn't get a thing done for hanging over the fence, watching them play.
