Solo camp at Millstone Point. Insulated wellies the footwear of choice!
Chilly night, & dawn a bit subdued, but lovely views of an otter. Years ago, I was involved in the rescue of an otter cub who was rehabilitated, then released on this coast. Wonder if this little soul is one of her descendants?

Word of the day is ‘quafftide’ (16th century): the season for drinking. Also a pithy way of declaring that it’s time to relax.
Works for hydropots (water drinkers) just as well.

Have any of you clever folks got any expertise in searching the National Archives / Lloyds Register? My tiny brain is about to melt!
