Waiting for one's wellies

            Crosby Beach, Merseyside

A few days off work, a dragging DIY job going pear shaped and a break from my Japan travel blog had us venture out to see Antony Gormley's "Another Place" at Crosby Beach. No planning, weather looking decidedly dodgy and a total disregard for tide times, but it got us out of the house. 

By the time we parked up at the sea front, the sea was pretty much lapping against the wall but a few patches of sand could be seen southwards so I naturally assumed it was on the turn and donned my walking boots. Big mistake, first couple of shots resulted in soggy boots... out was actually in and Mr Gormley's butts were slowly getting submerged by the minute, so I dispatched Mrs R back to the car to fetch my wellies... bless her!
