Braving the Spring Westerly's

We have just returned from a five day break in Filey Bay.  The westerly's were blowing off the cliff tops, blowing away the cobwebs in our heads and the sun was shining.  We had five days with nothing to do but collect pebbles, walk, read and spend quality time together.
 

The view from our cabin was inspiring. The colours, so uplifting.  Blue skies with puffy white clouds and greens, blues and sandy seas so calming.  When the wind dropped, we walked on the cliffs towards Bempton with seagulls dancing in the thermals above us.  It was cold for the time of year but no rain for four days, so who can complain?  The masses of Gorse bushes had blossomed and the almond scent was intoxicating as we wound our way around them.

The following day the wind returned so we ventured from the cliff tops down some woodland steps to Cayton Bay.  Five steps down it was still.  We could hear the wind above us blowing overhead but we were down in our little micro climate descending into a magical wood with wild pink and deep yellow primroses everywhere.  It was so peaceful.   Not another soul did we pass.  We could hear the ocean grow louder as we followed the winding path through the undergrowth.  Then out of the bushes, there was the bay.  A huge expanse of smooth yellow sand fringed with coloured pebbles and shells.  I collected small pieces of drift wood and clambered over the rocks at the crescent of the bay to discover rich amber cliffs of stone holding back the sea.  I found a small giant’s causeway to step across to take me back to the sands.

Being with nature and having the time to spend exploring and discovering new places together makes me realise just how blessed I am. The world is a wonderful place if only we take the time out to see it.
