Ms Scarlet said...: That's right tease me! I'm still not any nearer to moving and it's driving me crazy.

Pat said...: Scarlet: take heart love - everything sells in time and once it's gone you'll forget all the hassle. Meanwhile you can enjoy deciding where to fetch up.
I haven't forgotten the tagging and plan to do it tomorrow which is free. I've checked a dozen times as I missed an appointment yesterday which I hate doing. It's not enough to have it in my diary - it has to be on the kitchen calendar as well.; 11:23 AM
debra said...: What a beautiful, rugged land. Wonderful photos, Pat.; 1:36 PM
Pat said...: Debra: you're right - it is rugged; there have been some cliff falls and quite recently a boy swept out to sea.
The kids tease me when I once said 'We must hurry - the tide is rushing in and three hours later it was in the same place:); 2:06 PM
Anonymous said...: Low tide, I take it.

Looks like the perfect place for a stroll.

Cheers.; 2:23 PM
lom said...: I have visited Watchet but never walked there, it looks like the type of place I would love to though; 2:24 PM
Pat said...: High Randall - 'lo tide. Sorry old Danny Kaye joke.
Not perfect for me alas. Too rocky and slippery.

LOM: you've just snuck in under the radar! Funny thing about Watchet - you either like it or not - no halfway it seems. It sure has lots of character and I like to visit but not live there.; 2:38 PM
Kim Ayres said...: With a train like that, were you tempted to take off your red bloomers and wave them at the train to warn it of impending danger?; 3:15 PM
Pat said...: Kim: what a lark that would have been. My grand-daughter would not have been amused however. I'm trying to get back in her good books:); 4:23 PM
Kate Lord Brown said...: Hello Pat - just to say I did get your email and will reply - my computer blew up (literally) and I've lost everything on the hard disk (yes, no recent work was backed up, devastating ...) Once I can send email will be in touch x; 7:09 PM
Pat said...: Kate: everybody's nightmare - I'm so sorry. I do hope it was very recent and still fresh in your mind. Don't worry about me - there's no rush.; 7:21 PM

Emil Kirstein said...: Lovely scenery. Appreciate your consideration for grandmas (and grandpas.) My wife and I have the same problem:) Blessings.; 7:48 AM
Pat said...: Cinnamon: it was worth taking a year to decide where to retire to. In spite of being a bit off the beaten track we've never regretted it.

Emil: we Gramps must stick together:); 9:22 AM
