Not much has been going on lately. Mundane things like heading up to Newcastle and buying some replacement clothes for those stained and worn out pieces. We have also been packing and printing out as much as we can while we still have a printer. We also packed our biggest bags and are shipping them to Portugal next week. We are flying RyanAir, a budget airlines notorious for strict baggage controls, so shipping was the cheapest way to go. We will be traveling to York and Manchester by train so it will be easier not to have the biggest bags with us. Yesterday and today we have had some nice sunshine so we walked on the beach and along the pier to the lighthouse. The weather was unsettled with bouts of rain and bright sunshine. This rewarded us with multiple rainbows, a golden glow sunset and a crescent moon peeking out of the clouds. Only a few more days here in Sunderland and we really have enjoyed it.
A ship in the morning
An oystercatcher
Cute and waterproof
The murres were out in force
It was a mile out to the lighthouse and the straight path was not taken
The door to the lighthouse was open
So I took a few pictures on the sly
Weather is turning for the worse so it is time to head back
It may be raining soon
Not an animal, just a stupid balloon
But here we have a seal
A fine looking seal at that
Better pick up the pace
After the rain a rainbow
The dogs need to get out while there is a break in the rain
More rainbows
The lighthouse always seems to get a bright light at the end of the day
Fishing with scuba gear
A ship appears to be floating as the water had two distinct layers
Dark blue water, light blue water and the light blue sky
Rainbows everywhere
And a little sailboat
Last rainbow of the day
A nice sunset glow
As the day comes to a close
A crescent moon bids us goodnight
