After sitting out in the shade outside, it took us the morning to figure out what we could do in heat like this!
In the end, it was to be a day at the beach, so back to the sea I went if only for a day.
For the afternoon, we spent it pleasantly at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
The views were stunning and the cliffs were filled to the brim with nesting seabirds of every size and species.
The section of cliff the majority of the Gannets occupied, had every nook and cranny filled with either an egg or a chick. As the one parent sat, the partner would return with a graceful landing. With a short beak 'clapping', the other bird with swoop off to take on its parental fishing duties.
The sea was a magnificent turquoise and with weather like this, fish must be plentiful.
Further along the cliff face, Kittiwakes filled the still air with their iconic calls and the odd Puffin could be seen, dumpingly flying from the grass verges along the clifftop.
During the warm evening was a walk along Filey beach. With no wind to chill us, the temperature was just right and a dip in the sea wouldn't go a miss!
With the obvious option for tea and a lemon top ice cream for pudding, it seemed daft not to carry on our stroll towards to Brigg.
Rock pooling was alot of fun. Though we did not catch anything, we saw plenty of salty life lurking under each rock and between the still seaweed.
To end a perfect day, was a glorious sunset.
But not as glorious seen from the top of the cliff.
Simply bliss!
