Morning walk along the cliffs

It was a lovely morning after the last two days of dreadful winds. Not so bad down here but in Adelaide power off for two days and so many trees down it was dangerous to drive. We were lucky in that on Monday we left before it got too bad. Lucky too that it wasnt so hot,although it is now warming up again. We didnt walk yesterday as it was just too nasty. It had calmed down here by last night but the sea was still up. We had our last foal for the season born last night, just before dark, a palomino Section B Welsh colt, all well and the first time mother was very good with him. It is dreadfully dry, about a trace of rain in January and not much in the next few days or weeks come to that for cast. After the lovely damp cool start to summer, I wonder how long this will go on. We do at least have water this year but it is always a worry and seems to go on and on for ever, I think I would rather cold and wet or even snowy!! I am finding it hard to get my act together, spending time reading and doing general house hold stuff, really boring and not at all enthusiastic making as regards painting or stitching! I hope every one in the northern hemisphere is coping with winter better than I am with summer.
