Winter sunshine

After the dreich day yesterday we had some lovely respite before the expected weather over the next few days. We haven't been to Lunan Bay for a while so took the dogs up there for a change. It was sunny but a stiff breeze meant it was also very cold down on the beach, not that the pups noticed as they did their usual run down the dunes and straight on until they reached the water.

The boat in the water (well boats, there is a second one hiding at the back) is an oil support vessel although looking in the picture it looks more like a wee tugboat. It reminds me of the Father Ted sketch when Ted is trying to explain the difference between a real and a toy cow to Father Dougal "OK, one last time. These are small… but the ones out there are far away. Small… far away…"

If it wasn't for the fact that Stina was wearing a big winter jacket , this photo looks like it could have been taken in the summer.
