I feel very small beside this old gent and his dog on the sea front at Silloth. We headed out here for a nice brisk walk along the sea front while Gaye looked at a Charity Shop in Silloth and came away with a few books.
A little boy called Tom dangling his legs on the seat.
This is all that is left of the old Skinburness Hotel which was knocked down a couple of years ago. It used to be a posh hotel but its popularity declined along with that of many coastal hotels when people discovered holidays on the continent. This year Silloth is busier than ever with many enjoying Staycashion Holidays.
Our visit coincided with High Tide so many of the creeks next to the Grune Peninsular were full with the incoming tide.
Gaye enjoying a seat in the sun in the gardens between the main street and the Solway.
Almost High tide and the inlets are almost full.
In the background you can just see the Radio Masts at Anthorn
The Solway Firth at Silloth with Criffel on the Scottish side. We enjoyed a nice lunch in Mrs. Wilsons cafe after our walk.
