It has been mild and misty with heavy rain showers the last couple of days .
We were forecast more today ...it was supposed to be torrential rain with thunder and lightening . . . .
...... but look ! The sun is shining in blue sky ! We went for a walk along the cliffs at The Lizard Point .
The cliffs , the sea , the birds , the wild flowers .....all just magnificent !
It is possible to see seals , dolphins and basking sharks . Sea birds , Buzzards Kestrels and famously Choughs .
The scenery is just breath-taking !
The Lizard is the most southerly point of British mainland and is a place that everyone should come and visit .
Before continuing on our walk , we stopped off at Polpeor Cafe Lizard Point , who made us feel very welcome .
We sat at a table with magnificent views over the cliffs and sea .....just wow !
I really enjoyed my cup of tea and husband had a cup of coffee .We shared a perfectly done toasted tea cake . I,m very fussy about how I like my toasted tea cakes...I do not like them burnt around the edges....this was .... perfect ! mmmm .
Next time , we will have lunch there too , as it looked good on the menu !
We walked a very long way , you feel as if you could just keep walking here , wanting to see around the next headland and explore the beaches and caves further round at Kynance . I,ll take you all there another day !
We walked further than we should have and forgot about the long walk back , but we enjoyed every minute of it .
We stood and watched the waves crashing over the rocks below , enjoying the warm sunshine and breathing in the fresh sea air .
The red tinged leaves of Carpobrotus edulis or "Hottentot Fig" .
Some are flowering even now , scrabbling over these warm South facing cliffs .
These I love to see ! They are , what I and many visitors look forward to seeing !
Also the Mesembryanthemums or "Sally-Me 'ansoms" as they are fondly known by in these parts of Cornwall .
We didn't see any Basking Sharks , Dolphins , Seals or Choughs today , but did so enjoy our walk .
The rain is here. When we walked along that bit of coast one August we were lashed with rain and nearly blown over the cliff edge. There was a yacht race on at the time and some yachts were scuppered.
ReplyDeleteI think I remember that ! The rain is coming back tomorrow afternoon I,ve been told . I hope it's not too bad where you are ? I feel so sorry for and my heart goes out to people who are experiencing flooding . Luv Debbie x
