So I was down at the seaside for that lovely week-end to close up the caravan for the winter. Walking along the seafront so late in the year, well after the summer season is over, it is great how buzzy things still are. Some of the hardier stall owners are still selling their wares along the harbour side and the fish stalls are open, so that tangy smell is still in the air.
It was incredibly clear and bright in the autumnal sunshine and the visibility range was one of the best this year.
The tide was coming in and I stood and watched as the long spit of beach that people had been walking out on gradually disappeared into a line of ruffled water running transversely across the waves.
For a while it seemed like it was still the summer, but the illusion faded with the light, as soon as the sun disappeared the heat went with it and the chill of November evenings set in quickly.
There was a Christmas fayre on in the castle which added to sense of moving rapidly through the seasons of the year within a few short hours.
The great thing about the end of the caravanning season is that I can then start to look forward to opening up again next year and dream of long summer days and fish, lots of lovely fresh fish!
