We set off with a light wind (OK, it was quite blowy, but just enough to blow the cobwebs away...) and blue skies - perfect for an afternoon walk.
Doglet enjoyed trying to chase the sheep, oblivious to the fact that just when she got near, the flexi-lead came to an end abruptly, almost decapitating her every time.
The waves were crashing, the birds were soaring, and all was right with the world!
Then we turned round to go back to the car... that's when we realised we were in trouble! The sky was black behind us - not a dark grey, but a pitch black... the wind picked up... the rain started - fine at first, becoming heavier and heavier... mixed with sleet... smacking into our faces with the full force of the wind.
Not pleasant!
Doglet at one point refused to go on - she sat down, head away from the wind, eyes closed. As if to say, 'You must be joking if you think I'm going any further in this!' We managed to coax her into continuing! By the time we got back to the car, we were absolutely drenched. Not just a wee bit wet around the edges - but soaked through to the skin!
So much for a relaxed afternoon stroll by the coast!
