Blue Bottom and Rainbow

 So, what have I been up to since The Year of Ferrero Rochering Dangerously ended and now?  (Other than that Tippi Hedren moment and Ms Scarlet's First Vinyl meme, of course - see previous post.) 

 Well, apart from work and wandering about the countryside surrounding Hexenhäusli Device, not a lot.  As these photos go to show...

 First up from 27th December, the titular blue bottom and a load of clay: 

Near the end of the End-of-the-Line is a blue bottom!

 

Don't worry, this photo was taken from quite a long way off.

This grey seal pup had just been disentangled from a discarded jacket, and was getting over the ordeal by lounging about waiting for its mum to return from the sea.

It's amazing what a difference a quick change in direction can make.  Looking east...

... and then back west. Well, north-west, really.

Extremely soggy, slippery, slumping - but colourful - clay cliffs.

These final three photos from the 27th show exposed clayscapes

  31st December saw a frosty walk to Northrepps:

Tower Lane, Sidestrand

The view south from Hungry Hill

This mute swan and his mate were poking about in a field near the reservoir

  A rainbow struggled into existence for my walk down to the beach on 9th January:

The End-of-the-Line

My haul from the beach: seaglass, a tiny fossilised sea urchin, some shells and belemnites

 I wandered into Northrepps again on 10th January, but the only photo I took was of these two buzzards flying away over the trees towards Crossdale Street:

Car was a bit put out that Broom featured in a post recently (the last time we saw Car was back in March 2019) so to save arguments, here is a frosty Car outside Hexenhäusli Device
