Sunday 23rd October

This Sunday, Chris and I decided to break with tradition and head out to Peel. He was hoping to see the Sabine's Gull that had been there for the past three days - no luck though. Whilst he was doing that, I went for a wander around the harbour to see if any photo opportunities presented themselves.

A jumble of fishing nets caught my eye. I wouldn't like to be the one tasked with sorting them out from the tangle.

Further down the quay, I saw a number of fishing boats, and lobster pots

A bit early for a pint or lunch but, I was tempted...

Shortly after I met up with Chris and we headed to Glen Mooar. Again with the grey sky, little chance of nice backgrounds to leaf shots but, a short walk up the lane and there was some autumn colour

I walked down onto the beach - completely empty. The sea was a lot calmer than yesterday but still stormy looking

As I was on the beach, I decided to do a short 'tide-lining' walk to see if anything interesting had been washed up. It seems that rubber gloves are almost as common as plastic bottles!

A bit further along and I came across a solitary welly and a sponge. How does someone get home with only one shoe?

The rain started coming down so I headed back to the car. Time for our picnic lunch and then head home
