Walk to Loe Bar

 

We took a walk to Loe Bar this afternoon.

We'd had some torrential showers in the morning , with sleet !

I dashed outside in it , to bring my washing in off the line , very surprised to see sleet .

Although there was still a chilly breeze , the sun came out after lunch and we set off for our walk .

If you look at my first picture , you can see the beach is a long bank of sand with the sea on one side and Loe Bar on the other .

The beach drops away very steeply and because of this is a very dangerous place to swim . Don't even think about it ! There are signs up warning people not to go near the water here .

 We sat down further back on the grassy bank watching the mountainous waves and enjoying our coffee from the flask we'd brought with us .

       I commented on how beautiful the sky looked and took lots of pictures of it ...

                                 ...... and then we got absolutely soaked !

We ran , but there was nowhere really to shelter us , nothing we could do except to turn our backs to it .

      Then there was a beautiful rainbow and the sun came out again .

           We squelched our way , a very long way , back uphill to the car  .

                                         Laughing and glad we came .
