A Walk to Grune Point at Silloth with Mike

Mike and I made plans a week ago to go to Silloth for a walk today as he had never walked to Grune Point before. We could not have got a better day as it was wall to wall sunshine all day. It was a wee bit nippy at the start but we were soon in sunshine and even had lunch sitting on rocks next to the beach in the sun.
An incoming tide and loads of birds on the shoreline. 
At Grune Point we had a lovely view of the low frequency transmitters at Anthorn.
At a sheltered spot near the shore this wild flower in full bloom in mid January.

Loads of Oystercatchers all waiting to go to Langholm to annoy us all summer.

There was plenty of Gorse in full bloom and it is very colourful for January.
