As if anyone needs telling....but severe weather warnings are out for the
south and south west. It's not sounding exactly balmy out there now.

Didn't seem to deter an adventurous soul up our way.

We arrived at the cliff top car park to see him being helped out of the
raging sea - hadn't seen him, just wondered why someone was wading out and
then this person emerged from the waves.

Coastal Patrol turned up (can't afford Coast Guards around here - too poor)
and as we were leaving an ambulance was coming the other way with all bells
and whistles at full bore.

Not sure the ambulance was needed as we had just seen someone who looked
remarkably like the 'victim' run out onto the shingle bar to retrieve the
remains of his wind surfer.

Still, not the day for extreme sports unless you want to put others at risk
as well as yourself.

I just hope it doesn't trash my olive crop - the smallest were just starting
to turn black.

Cheers
