I really miss watching the sunrise on the coast. Sunrise is always lovely but when you’re living in a town or city, the view could be obstructed. I’m usually based in towns in the countryside and my routine doesn’t allow me to get out, so when I’m back at my base I try to get out every day.
I’m hoping there’s good weather on Sunday and I get a repeat of this ☺☺

So thankfully I start a new assignment today. I was beginning to panic just a bit.
But the agency finally came through and I’m on my way to Somerset to a town called Shepton-Malett, which to my delight is a Domesday Book town.
I’m looking forward to exploring 😃😃
Unfortunately it means that I can’t get out for sunrise walks for the next 2 weeks, so I made sure I got out this morning….and it was stunning. A gorgeous day for walking with clear skies and mild temperatures.
I walked as far as Dumpton Gap and back to the harbour chasing the incoming tide.
As with yesterday’s walk I collected 6 big pieces of trash that would otherwise have ended up in the ocean.
I’m going to have to get back to carrying bags and gloves with me again…there was so much more I could have picked up but no means of carrying the stuff 😔😔😔
I was also attacked by a bloody dog again that despite the owner trying to grab the damn thing, jumped up and tried to get to my face. It took the owner a good few minutes to get the dog on a leash. My verbal commentary was not very polite. I truly wish people who own dogs would just train the damn animals. Thankfully it was a spaniel so not very big or my face would have been slashed. As it is I could smell its breath it came that close 😠😠😠😠 I did manage to wallop the animal with my stick which gave it pause, but as soon as I moved it went for me again.
Ultimately I managed to move off without much more than my trousers muddied. But seriously….
The tide really does encroach pretty quickly, which cut off part of my route along the beach.
A lucky morning; I found a real bounty of coloured and white glass pieces on the beach. Yesterday yielded only 2 pieces, today I found loads, especially of the dark green glass that is so beautiful.
A magical walk and I’m so glad I made the effort. My kms are adding up, and the deficit going down 🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♀️👏👏👏
After such a beautiful morning at the coast, clear skies and mild weather, imagine my surprise as we approached Canterbury on the train….the countryside is heavy with mist…looks amazing and I was wishing I had the time to jump off the train and take photos
My next post will be from Somerset. I’m looking forward to exploring a new town.
Have a good day folks.
