The sleet shower has passed and we wrap up warm for a walk towards the shore. A few people are already there, surveying the damage. Some rocks from the seawall have been washed away, there are creels resting in strange places.
Seafoam floats in rockpools and hides the tidal sands. The dogs are sure-footed, leading the way. It is as if they remember the shape of every dip and outcrop.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by Storm Arwen and we hope you are all safe and well.
Wishing you a blessed Monday and a peaceful week ahead,

Led by your sure-footed dogs, finding your way in a seascape rearranged by the storm. The power of nature manifests on a clear day. May you all be well.

Those beautiful dogs are certainly fleet of foot. But oh, that storm! Hope the clean-up isn’t too bad.

Thank you kindly dear Laurie 🐾💛🐾 We’re very lucky here and it will hopefully be relatively easy to clean up and repair. The damage is more serious in the villages further along the coast where the homes are right on the seafront.
