What A Difference A Day Makes.


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.
