An Evening Walk

A walk along the cliff tops,
Waves pounding on the rocks below.
The sun sets in the distance,
Flooding orange light  across the sky.
A motor sounds over the water,
Heard long before it is seen.
The coast guard keeps a watch,
As the silent walkers roam the cliff top path.

The meeting in Cornwall!!

After a very long drive we end up in a country farm cottage down a half mile long gravel track in Cornwall, right by the sea. This is where I meet some of Duncan's family. Lucky we had one of the boys in the car as Duncan drove past the lane!! "You just past my house" calls Alex. I meet Duncan's sister, Kim and husband Duncan who is carrying Rory in his arms, Charlie is swinging from a tree branch!!

A drink of apple juice and a look round the garden, whilst the children play. Then we take a walk along the cliffs to the coast guard look out. The sun was shining for a change! It maybe summer but this year has not been great, more rain than sun so a walk was just the thing to make the most of a rare sunny evening. With great views out to sea and across the cliff tops, but so quiet with no one around. A rescue boat goes past, maybe a bit of training, as the coast guard looks out to sea. We do a loop out to a car park on the cliff top and back round towards home. Working up an appetite for some dinner and some Pimms!!
