Coast watch

Vile weather this afternoon: the sky darkened soon after I left the house and by the time I reached the coast the rain had started.

Mysteriously, these ponies were staring out to sea as blue changed to grey, their coats already damp from the wet bracken.

They perform a valuable job cropping the coastal vegetation and are not destined for the sausage factory whose products son Huw has been sampling in Brittany.
