Today we ended up in Burnmouth, a coastal village just North of the Scottish Border, that nestles at the foot of sea cliffs.
The sea was rough but there were a few birds sheltering among the rocks: greater black backed and herring gulls, oystercatchers and a lone heron.
While K took Buddy for a walk I got on with my knitting – I cast on this scarf earlier in the week. It’s the Ox scarf by Angela Mühlpfordt and I’m using 100% alpaca yarn that I’ve spun and dyed myself.
K is interested in geology and informs me that the rocks here are about 345 million years old, from the Carboniferous Period. He and Buddy made their way south towards where a rockfall had come down from the cliff.
They came across this bed of fossils.
These are the remains of burrows made by an ancient worm-like creature.
There’s always something interesting to find on this coast!

I love outings to places such as Burnmouth. The fossils were interesting.

It’s an interesting place. I discovered that a friend used to live there. She wasn’t there long but a neighbour told her that during severe winter storms the waves wash against the houses. That must be scary!.

Knitting with a sea view is one of my favourite things. I have a disability which restricts my ability to walk on sandy/rocky shores so I sit and admire the view and knit while K and dog go for a walk (and occasionally find fossils!)
