Sheila StevensonReally hope Lisa fully better. Who's that on top of the cliff?! Where were you to get the photo? xxx Mum/Sheila.
ReisenderHi Sheila. I've been a bit poorly again today - nauseous - but hoping that's my lot. I'm such a delicate flower these days. To get that photo we were sitting (alone) on another promontory that was lower down but also overhanging the valley. We were looking up at a bunch of other tourists - it was an intimate gathering (not) of 200 people to watch the sunset.
