That rare thing - hightide!

It is rare that the tide comes in here but as I walked towards the dunes today I could hear the sea - and there is was. At first it was so far in I had to walk on the dunes but later I managed to get on the beach. It was beautiful and fresh with the sun shining now and again from behind the clouds. I watched gulls jumpng over the waves and soaring on the breeze. Very lovely. Compare this with the same scene here on the 10th Dec 2018 https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2518835485204283504
