Yesterdays walk along the cliffs

We had a short walk yesterday along the cliffs, so much sand has been washed away and where there is normally a sandy beach it is now all rocks and the well in the last photo is in danger of being exposed to the sea, the sand hill it is on has been almost washed away. We walk here quite regularly and I havent seen it like this before. we have had some quite strong winds and a reasonable amount of rain, which is good infact it is almost like a normal winter, we are beginning to be almost mud bound. We need wet winters to fill up the soil moisture, and our sandy soils can be quite vulnerable and so can our springs which here we rely on a lot for stock water, as well as emergency water in the house. I am still progressing, slowly, one day at a time, sometimes I think backwards but then the next day sees a bit more of a leap forward. Trying to help John with the house and doing dinner, again sometimes more easily than other times. I hate not being able to do stuff and I have a habit of falling asleep at the drop of a hat still. Loved that walk yesterday but we didnt have one this morning as it was too wet. Perhaps tomorrow.

I'll be 'thinking' more rain for you in the coming days - with maybe an hour clear for your walk?

Hope you continue to feel stronger and more able to cope with everyday things - I know that falling asleep syndrome!

Lovely photos as usual. Hope you have been able to have another walk by now. Glad you are getting some rain. Hang in there with the exercises, it takes a while. Cheers.
