I sometimes dream about ships from past times sailing in from the North Sea, some carrying cargo
and passengers  -  others intent on war and conquest .....








On a sandbank out in the estuary, swans and gulls wait for food on the incoming tide .....










Brightly coloured bramble and rose foliage and a few wild flowers along the coastal path ..... 
























Clover .....





Thank you for visiting
