Which way the wind blows

And it's been blowing today - gales and torrential rain but we managed to get out for a brisk yomp around the circuit. Lots of water gushing down from the mountain, brown seas, foamy waves, dense seaweed and whirling gulls. This little greenway once lead to a scuppered boat, and now I think there's a mini sea urchin farm down there. I remember a man emerging from the depths of the sea one summer holiday in Malta and offering my mother a freshly plucked sea urchin. She wasn't as impressed as he hoped. And if you stood on one of them spines stayed in your toe for ages. Very painful.
