Ramblings
On this grey-drizzle day we arrived at Tanners Lane beach
just as the intrepid kite-surfers were packing up for the afternoon.
These friendly gentlemen were happy to talk about the wind and the weather while I explained that in producing my daily blog I accepted whatever I was given.
This evening we all dined on Jackie’s delicious, wholesome, chicken and vegetable stewp.
I watched recordings of World Cup rugby matches, last night between Fiji and Uruguay; today between Italy and Canada, and between England and USA.
Early this evening Jackie drove us to Mudeford and back.
The oyster shells arranged around a beech tree in The Oaks on Lymington Road, Highcliffe revealed themselves to be a ring of fascinating tree fungus.
Beneath louring skies,
aboard choppy waves spray-soaked,
wet-suited, windsurfers strutted their stuff, while
kite surfers preferred the more sheltered harbour.
A lone little egret picked its way along the shallows.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s deliciously authentic tender lamb jalfrezi and savoury rice garnished with fresh coriander with which she drank Hoegaarden and I finished the Saint-Chinian.
