Coast, Dolphins and climate change…..

We just spent a few days at the “coast”

A teeny holiday for us at the “John Snow House” in Portrush – we were very grateful to be allowed to stay there.

Tell you what though – climate change whispered/shouted in my ear and baffled us this week!

On Monday it rained intermittently and in sync with us every time we left the house!

On Tuesday it was occasionally wet, baltic cold and windy as………..

Wednesday was a different continent! It was as if we had literally jumped into a different world – sunshine as we strolled along the beach at 10am and for the rest of the day which was great.

This morning we were on the beach at 9.30am for a walk and again it was beautiful so i predict snow for tomorrow!

Typically i decided to not take our camera out this morning and oh how i regretted that! We were walking along in about 3 inches of water when i spotted something about 50ft away from us in the shallow waves.

“There’s something in the water” i said

“Is it a body?” says Cherith

Oh dear!! We didn’t have to call CSI!

It was 3 dolphins! We thought we saw 2 to begin with and then a 3rd appeared – they swam along, rising in and out of the waves not far from us for about 200 yards – it was beautiful to watch. No pictures though – sigh! There is a nice ‘couple’ somewhere who can confirm our sighting though, they watched with us for a few moments and then left when we told them Jesus made the dolphins!

We are home now so it can snow at the coast if “it” wants!

p.s. we didn’t really tell the nice folks that Jesus made the dolphins!
