Arne in January

[puddleshark]

Met up with C. and her terrier for a walk by the harbour at Arne in the January sunshine. The water silver, still as glass. Cormorants and grebes performing vanishing tricks through a mirror.

I didn't get any good photos, but the light was gorgeous - you cannot take light for granted in January - and the harbour was very quiet, just the calling of the wading birds, or the splash of a rower passing by. Afterwards, coffee and cake at the café, sitting outside, the terrier curled in C.s lap, half-dozing in the sun, waking just enough to grumble halfheartedly at other dogs passing by.

How lovely. That reminds me that I was going to join the RSPB. I said to DM only yesterday that we should pop over to Arne in the near future.

Excellent idea.

We bought life membership a few years ago - they do so much good work.

Arne is lovely. I'm a regular visitor in winter, when it's quieter. I was a bit shocked by how expensive the café was this time - eight quid for coffee and cake! - but I suppose it all goes to a good cause.
