Usual stuff ... walks

A food shop had to happen at some point. As the fridge was empty, it was time to step out to the supermarket along the beach and into town.

The landscapes along the beach have changed due to the storm and water coming so high and washing away some previously soft slopes into now what I would describe as sand-cliffs. Onto the boardwalks we found large sand drifts so it was a bit like walking on the beach.

We have to be careful that we don't overload ourselves, which is hard when you find something else you want, that's not on the list. Today we made the mistake of buying 'lomo', which up till now has always been gammon. Not today. 😞 We were really looking forward to it but when I cooked it, the meat was suspiciously like pork fillets. John REALLY doesn't like those. So he couldn't eat them and had to substitute cheese. Can't say I was too keen either but I ate mine.
We stopped for a wee coffee for me and a double scoop ice cream for John. Only €5!
Once back home, we went for more beach walking and saw big groups of plovers, including 2 or 3 with only 1 leg. I'm beginning to wonder if they hold one up.
Back just before sundown in time for a shower and a disappointing tea.

More beach photos ... of course.Read more
