Stormy seas and winter veg

Beached boats

No fishing today

Facing away from the sea

Winter veg

Winter artichokes

Popped out to post a letter...

Last night was the first proper chilly night of winter, excluding the wet and cold which comes with storms and heavy rain. We have been basking in summery temperatures, here by the sea and this morning the bird bath was 'half' frozen for a change. The sun came out and the ice soon melted. I popped out to post a letter this afternoon and there were few people about. 

Late lunchers licking and picking at leftovers

A closer peek 

They weren't bothered by me

High tides and storms had created interesting pictures on the beach

Winter Beach

Winter Street

Very ancient little sea creatures

The recent storms had stirred up the beach and I was rather pleased to have found the above clam-like shell with its preserved hoard.

I may just write a letter later so that I can pop out to the post and see where it takes me.
