Blue skies today, sunshine and a bitterly cold easterly whipping across the water, a high tide, people out and about, well wrapped up, fishermen fishing along the shoreline; a complete contrast to yesterday. There was no-one to be seen yesterday. It rained yesterday. It rained so much I never thought it would stop. From early morning until late afternoon storm clouds rolled in from the south-east unleashing torrents of driving rain. It was relentless. And to start the proceedings, just before daybreak a bolt of lightning and a colossal thunderclap shook the house and blew out the lights on the top floor! What a day. A beautiful day, but a very different day.
