Yesterday was such a beautiful day too nice to be inside. We went down to the Port and had a stroll along the pier, admiring the gentle rhythm of the sea. The waves gently building up to crash into the rocks and then roll back again. It wasn't as warm as first thought due to a chilly wind, but it was nice to breath in the wonderful sea air and be thankful for the beauty we were surrounded by.
We have walked along the pier many times but each walk we see something different, no two photos the same. An ever changing land and seascape.
The steps lead up to an art gallery, one of these days...just along from the gallery is a cafe perfect for taking in the amazing views. A walk along the beach is the perfect way to spend time and admire the gulls perched on the ledges of the cliffs. They are nesting so I didn't want to walk too close.
The sound of the sea reaching its crescendo and then starting its journey once more is like a musical show, joining in with the screeching of the gulls.
The wonderful melody of the sea soothing your soul. Back to reality and our little cottage for lunch mixed seed bread with leek and sweet potato soup.
As always I do thank you for your visit and your uplifting comments.
See you soon.
You live in such beautiful surroundings. The sea is mesmerising. There's nothing like breathing in the sea air and sitting and watching it for hours. X
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful scenery, I don't think I'd ever tire of it and understand what draws you out there to take it all in.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing! I love living by the sea, although we're on a very flat peninsular. I love the cliffs and the waves in your photos. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely surroundings, you are indeed lucky.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Thank you for showing us round. I wouldnt manage those steps so you will have to!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice walk ! I too love the sea and the rocks and the sound and air ! It's much better in the North than in a Southern country. The color too is different.
ReplyDeleteYou described the sound and sights of the waves so well it was almost like I was there with you! I grew up in California, about 40 miles from the ocean. I'm surprised how much your seashore looks just like the pacific coast of California. Seems to prove we're all the same.
ReplyDeleteOh your words about the lovely ocean reflect mine. You are so fortunate to take a drive so close to admire the views. I enjoyed seeing the waves so much today. Thank you.xo
ReplyDeleteLove the scenery, dramatic and beautiful. I like the sound of the sea, it lulls you off to sleep so quickly.
ReplyDeleteYour lunch sounds like the perfect way to end your brisk walk. It does feel good to get out and breathe fresh air! ‘Tis very fresh here at 16°F with a stiff wind blowing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! It is so invigorating to be beside the sea. The cafe sounds inviting. Your lunch is just right after that walk.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos... you have such beautiful places to walk.
ReplyDeleteThere certainly is a rugged beauty about it all and I can see why you enjoy walking there. Kudos to you for not disturbing the gulls.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along on your walk. Such stark beauty at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteYour sea air must be so healthful for you both! You must never have any kind of air pollution living right on the sea like you do. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing those coastal images and could almost smell the salty air. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like the wonderful sound of the sea … I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs you've shared here, and your mixed seed bread with leek and sweet potato soup sounds warming and delicious.
All the best Jan
I enjoyed coming along on your seaside walk. I could almost feel the chilly wind, so much so that I had to turn the heat up a bit because I felt cold.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed taking in the seascape from different perspectives and can imagine the sound of the waves from your wonderful description. I can understand why you were drawn to live where you do.
ReplyDeleteIt's always wonderful to go for a walk in a familiar place and find something new to see. The sea is one of our favorite places but we only have a river view from our apt.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. The melody of the sea is soothing for the soul. I so much enjoy walking along the sea. Good air for the lungs and great exercise.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind it back at your cottage for some leek and sweet potato soup. I have never had that but I know it must be good!
I have had a good and proper catch up on your last few months and so enjoyed it, Lorraine. Thanks for sharing some of the highlights of your holiday travels, your lovely family and sweetly growing grands. I enjoyed the new Mary Poppins movie, too. I'm glad you had good quality time with your folks and you are content that they are happily settled where they are. "Your" sheep, chickens, lighthouse, Mickey, soups, breads, crochet, scrapbook pages, ocean, and Inspire bible are wonderful to see. I'm glad you and Gerard are well enough to find much joy in your lives and I regularly pray for blessings for you. xx
ReplyDeleteThere is something special about breathing air that has been scrubbed clean across thousands of miles of ocean isn't there. The salty tang and the oxygen levels are so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I can almost taste/smell the sea breeze :)
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful area. I almost can hear the screeching of the gulls and the waves splashing on the rocks.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. I would love to be able to walk beside the sea although not on a day like today which is wet and very windy again.
ReplyDeleteHugs-x-
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour coastline looks rugged and wild. I love that. Your photo of the winding road with the steps leading up the hill to the distance really drew me in. I want to jump into the picture and find out what is beyond that bend and see the art gallery over the hill. One of these days? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your scenic photos. This armchair traveller appreciates them very much. Stay warm!
Great pics !
ReplyDeleteHave a shinny day !
Anna
How wonderful to live so close to the sea and those spectacular views:)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh how wonderful! To be able to walk along the sea!!! Ohhhhh sigh... We miss it so much.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, we could drive over to Cape Cod. Every autumn. And it was wonderful. But not for some time.
How lucky you are, to live where you do. Enjoy it!!!!!!! :-)
I love walking beside the sea. The vastness of the ocean is calming and puts life into perspective. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteO MY!! Absolutely stunning pictures!! Just beautiful!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
How lovely to be close enough to walk along the seas edge and see that beauty around you.
ReplyDeleteAnswering your question on the quilted mat in my last post. It was an antique piece I found many years ago in an antique shop. I loved it so much I had it framed for many years, but now use it as a mat.
Oh my goodness Lorraine such lovely things to see here. I have been catching up on your posts: the sunsets, the out and about walks, the weather and I love your yellow and mustard outfit! Thank you for calling in as always. Jo x
ReplyDeletegreat pictures, you live in such a beautifully wild place.
ReplyDeleteI'm here in Minnesota with feet of snow piled high, and another foot forecast for tomorrow. I enjoy your visits to the sea every time you post about them. Thank you.
ReplyDeletecall me crazy but it looks a bit like spring in the photos!! Lovely area where you live.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! You are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteVery serene and beautiful surroundings.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and peaceful, I would enjoy walking there every day. The gulls are so sweet! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Jill
Tour walk looks so beautiful and relaxing. I am so glad you enjoyed your day.
ReplyDeleteI like the gull pictures. An interesting and invigorating walk.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous picture you have shared today ... It felt so peaceful to walk along the shores with you and smell the salty air. The nestling gulls was such a delightful capture. Thank You for this relaxing post...ENJOY your week..Hugs
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pictures of your seaside walk, there is truly nothing as calming as the sound of water! Such beautiful pictures of the art gallery and the views along the shoreline. It is wonderful to feel the weather warming up, and being able to get outside, and enjoy the day! Blessings to you :)
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your beautiful island. You are a very gifted photographer.
