Storm "Ciara" is still battering the coast

But, so far, we have had a pretty easy time compared with many areas in the north.

Here is an impression of the last two days and the forecast for the next two.

At last! A perfect Winter weekend.

The storm blew itself out on Friday.

The skies cleared.

The sun shone all weekend.

Not a breath of wind ruffled water.

People enjoyed the beautiful crisp air.

In the deep mid Winter

Yesterday was crystal clear, without a breath of wind and out of the shadows as warm as Spring.

However today is forecast to see a return to normal; wind and rain.

Yesterday another brief storm came barreling through

A mirror finish on a cold and frosty morning

At Last

A beautiful winter day. 
They have been in very short supply so far this winter.

Up aloft

These two crew members are up aloft carrying out routine maintenance 

on his beautiful Tall Ship, The Eye Of The Wind, a very welcome visitor to Sutton Harbour,

 in the historic Barbican Quarter of the City's Waterfront.

Apartments overlooking the marina in Sutton Harbour.

Almost all the commercial quays,warehouses and workshops etc.that once lined the city waterfront have been redeveloped into apartments blocks, with restaurants and bars etc at street level. 

The Three Crowns Pub

These craft are moored conveniently close to the pub.

Two views from the terrace

of my favourite Bar/Restaurant 
- The Miller and Carter Steakhouse  - 
in the old China House, on Sutton Wharf, 
from which you can see both faces of Sutton Harbour.

Strolling in a modern 'Cloister'

Cloister  - A covered walk in a convent, monastery, college, or cathedral, typically with a colonnade open to a quadrangle on one side. 

But in this case the 'nuns' are walking by the entrance to a modern office block

 on the quayside of the Sutton Harbour. Marina

Leaking oil on untroubled waters.

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Sittin' in the morning sun

   I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

Then I watch'em roll away again.

Not a breath of wind.

Early morning in Sutton Harbour Marina.

Fishing boats in Sutton Harbour

What better place to eat fish fresh from the market.
