On the Pier

I popped to see JohnRH and W on the way to Cromer this morning. I had a cuppa and catch up which was lovely. It was extremely cold and windy at Cromer, even with all my winter walking gear I was cold. I watched the lifeboat crew doing an exercise just outside the lifeboat station, practicing attaching a rope to a buoy. The crew members were all fastened securely to the boat as it was it was rolling all over the place in the waves and wind at low speed. I took photos which was also difficult keeping still in the wind. However, I preferred the photo of this starling on a panel on the pier to my lifeboat and wave photos. This afternoon I watched the film of Simon Callow reading / performing A Christmas Carol, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
