The Moray Firth
We are temporarily up on Speyside, as my father is in hospital and quite seriously ill. This is where our attention is concentrated at the moment, but at the end of a weekend of hospital visiting we headed for the coast to breathe deeply of the sea air.
Looking north, above, as the waves crash onto the shingle. Below, the coast curves east towards Buckie.
Looking west now, to where the River Spey meets the sea.
And south-west, back up the course of the river and into the sunset.
Oystercatchers were calling, a curlew piped, and all the while the waves broke on the shore. It was what we needed.
Oh dear. I am sorry and I hope things get resolved quickly and peacefully.
ReplyDeleteViews out to the sea are wonderful for clearing the mind.
Sending good thoughts your way, Linda! My mum was quite poorly earlier this year and it is a very stressful thing to go through especially when someone is in the hospital and you need to be there as their advocate to make sure that everything is done properly. Good wishes.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear about your father. Mine is also quite ill. A difficult time in life. Prayers for you.

Answer to Your question on my blog: Cod liver oil is an oil extracted from fish liver, which is rich in vitamin A, vitamin D and unsaturated fatty acids. It does not taste good, no. But it is wery helthy.
I've left a reply to your comment on my blog, saying a little more; but just wanted to add here that I am thinking of you and your family in what must be a worrying and difficult time. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteThank heavens for the sea, the sea. There is nothing like a walk along a beach to soothe the soul.
