Our first evening

We were greeted at our Airbnb with homemade bread in the oven, which was fabulous. After settling our things and having a quick munch we went for a wander down to the bay to watch the sunset.

It was lovely, the open space, the sun setting over the ocean, the colours on the mountains, the gentle breeze. We were joined on the groin by two cats which appeared not to be particularly friendly to one another. As we continued our wander we found one of the nearby lakes was frozen over enough that two boys were messing about on the ice. When Sandra went to step onto it however there was a loud crack like a shot gun going off, that shocked us. Evidently there was a particular way, place and knowledge required , that we did not possess. The nearby swans were not perturbed and continued to bath in the last of the light.
