Wednesday, April 26

This morning I began by answering mail and getting some things set up online. Later in the morning I decided to go for a longer walk, and I headed down to the sea. I sat and had a coffee at the café. I sat surprised by the way it has grown. It now has a tent-like structure that enables it to work all year round, and an extended terrace for hardy folks like me who want to drink their coffee in the wind, while watching three women and a crane driver move a large boat from its dry dock into the sea.

Walking back I wander into the reeds out as far as I can towards the edge of the sea. I come across a swan sitting on its nest. I assume it has begun to hatch its eggs and I step away after a few seconds without disturbing it.
