Douglas Bay

                                                                   

I was out for a brief stroll this morning. Just to blow the cobwebs away and stretch a few muscles. My route took me along Douglas Promenade. The bay looked fantastic. The water was as flat as a mill pond. A few yachts were doing their thing beyond the Tower of Refuge. In the far distance the hill of Cumbria were visible. Moving rapidly across the water was the RNLI lifeboat, it's throaty engines breaking the tranquility. A great winter's day in the Isle of Man.

I've no doubt though that at some stage next week 20 plus mph winds will drive rain into my face whichever way I turn.

I will enjoy today for what it is.
