Storm force 10

Well - not while we were there, but the much-publicised wind and high tides combined to make quite spectacular waves at Lyme Regis this morning - another Carpe Diem moment, to see the high tide before the rain came, then home for breakfast.

Huge waves breaking over the Cobb - higher than the buildings!

Lots of other people getting salt spray all over their cameras, including one poser with a huge telephoto lens that would have been quite useless in the circumstances...

This obliging fellow posed unknowingly for me watching the breakers sploshing over the Cobb wall:

And this one, who was snapping the waves on his phone, was not so obliging, and wouldn't move away from the signpost:

Very impressive! I was visiting relatives in Cornwall many years ago when it was like that. Only myself and the dog, a Newfoundland, ventured out in it...I got cold and wet, he loved it!
