Before I left, Limey told me very strictly to stay away from the water.
The winds were getting up and High Tide was going to be high.
Keep away from the seafront.
Yes, Limey.
Don't get too near the water.
Yes, Limey.
Be careful, there could be large waves.
Yes, Limey.
I did listen, honest. And take on board everything she said. But I also have eyes and a brain and I know if she'd been there she would have realised that I was in no danger whatsoever. She did pick me up on it when she saw the photos though.
That was the day I told you to stay away from the seafront, wasn't it?
Yes, Limey
As you can see, the wind picked up and the sky greyed out, but there wasn't a big tidal surge while I was there.
Other places on the island were harder hit that day, although nothing like as bad as the previous week. I know the boat wasn't running, and some children were sent home early from school, but Whiting Bay just had some rain and sea-spray.
