More than fluttering

2.5C with a few hail (very tiny hailstones) showers in the continuing strong gusty wind.

Apothecary7, Maeve the Deerhound and I went right round our usual walk today. In the field with the bridle path the mud was frozen enough to give good footing. On the beach two bearded collies were playing in the sea ! Their owner said a cheery hello as she walked past, wrapped up against the weather. We were well wrapped up too. Wind proof jackets. Maeve had her blue coat on.

We stopped at the Fishermen's huts to try to get some photos. There were people there, but they were all keeping warm inside the huts (sensible). The grass aera in front of the huts was thick with sand blown up off the beach.
I liked this shot of the wild sea from the side of the creel rack, with the Saltire flying (and shredding!) in the gale :-)
