Today has been a really high tide which means a weather warning was issued as the sea has a tendency to come right over the wall, bringing with it a variety of stones and other debris. I took a quick trip to Cobo before work with my camera to get a photo, although at one point I managed to get soaked by a wave that caught me unaware.
A very high tide also means a very low tide, which at this time of year means an Omering Tide. Ormers are a type of shell-fish that can only be gathered at a very low tide and there are strict rules about the size of ormers that are collected. I think they are rather revolting but Dad loves them and he was given a couple as a present the other day. The Mister and I were lying in bed when we heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen, it would seem that Dad was battering the poor ormers into submission before plunging them into the deep freeze. Poor little dead sea creatures.
