Day I Found It

Had a wonderful walk around Mersehead RSPB Nature Reserve with my wife and the dog. Saw loads of different birds, but the tide was out so no waders. The dog enjoyed the sand. Really clear day - wonderful sight to see Sandyhills as well as the Cumbria coast and the Isle of Man! Found the tea rooms on the way back next to Sweetheart Abbey.
