Very chilly Mappleton beach

This morning Tina and I set off for Freeport, and as we were there too early she drove us Mappleton. We have never been down to the beach before.and we didn’t pick the best of days for our first walk along it as the wind was ferocious and bitterly cold. We didn’t stay there too long but we were fascinated to see the fissures in the rocks. We know the cliffs are disappearing at an alarming rate but we could see that soon more would come tumbling down.
Several photos as it was good to be on a more interesting beach.






Loved the colours in the rocks and the photo has come out pretty well. I feel a painting coming on some time.
The little cafe was open  so we went in and had a hot chocolate. Then we went off to Freeport, bought some things in the sales and I had a gift voucher for The Works so had a good look in there.
This afternoon I watched the program about Dolly Parton and then got on with dinner.
A slightly more relaxed that day and we certainly blew the cobwebs away this morning!

    It does look a bit rough on that beach. Good job the Rev was well wrapped up! I’m surprised they don’t have some of that cordoned off. The erosion looks really bad and I don’t think I’d want to risk being underneath it if it decided to come down! The rocks would definitely make a good painting, maybe with the ink to bring out the details.
    Hopefully today will be a bit easier again.

    We weren’t inclined to walk too near the cliffs that’s for sure.
    The erosion is really bad along this piece of coast.
    Must get back into the painting in the new year!
