      Soar Mill Cove

      December 28, 2020 in England ⋅ 🌧 5 °C

      Stormy start
      Walk down to Soar Mill Cove
      Met woman with dog - "what a corker", "yes, bit a looks like a shower is coming", "well, it's what happens"
      Cows block the path
      Wide views of the sea
      Flock of small birds over edge of cliffs
      Few people on the beach
      Tide out
      Robin greeting me in adjoining field
      Walk onto beach over babbling brook
      Explored the beach, caves at the back
      Cove in a great bowl of rock, high and jagged on either side
      Two great rocks on the beach
      Picked up a small stone with rock and spar
      Seagulls sailing above
      Seaweed on the sand
      Walked up other side and sat on outcrop looking back down the coast eating lunch
      Very cold wind
      Sea crashing on rocks below, white froth
      Carried on round rock outcrops past flowering gorse
      Walked up to high outcrop
      Surveyed the views up and down the coastline
      Sheltered behind high standing stone as a storm passed.
      Walked back down to Cove
      Decided to wait for the sun and was rewarded by a kestrel passing
      Sun arrived giving stunning views down coastline
      Cloudscapes over the sea
      Walked back down to beach with tide coming in.
      Man carries tree trunk driftwood
      Family fire
      High waves rolling in, with wind blowing water back off the tops of the waves, backlit by the sun
      Leave the beach and sea chaffinch on fence, which then flies into adjoining field.
      Walk back up to headland with more views back down the coast
      Blackbird flies out of gorse and over the cliff edge.
      Sun gets low on horizon, backlighting more cows
      Sun sets over sea as driving home and near full moon rises beautifully into blue sky..
