The cove feels other-worldly without the waves rolling in and soothing her rough arches. Barnacles around the base begin to pale in the fresh air. Between seaweed-covered stones, another day passes.

We recently visited what I thought was Covesea. Is that the same place as Cove Bay? It was absolutely stunning!

Thank you dear Wendy, Covesea is on the same coastline and a bit further East than Cove Bay. We haven’t been there yet and may explore it after the holiday season 🙂🐾💖🐾 xxx
