The next village are having their annual "scarecrow trail" and the Country Kitchen have done another good one following on from their "Captain Tom" last year !

I have to admit around 15 years ago I took the family in our caravan and parked it on the beach for the annual air Show as my SIL was displaying in the RC model aircraft display, we woke up to the tide lapping around our tyres and corner steadies. That put the wind up us but we were advised that the tide wouldn’t get any higher and it didn’t 😁

After a good few days of rain, wind & pretty miserable weather overall, it's looking good for tomorrow ... but it looks like the aliens are coming!

Back in 2014 we were touring Denmark and had a day to fill before heading to Esbjerg for the ferry home. Thought we’d pay a visit to the island of Mandø just off the coast in the Wadden Sea and accessible via a tidal causeway. Spent some time exploring but, being conscious of timing to get back to the mainland we kept an eye on other visitors while having some refreshments in the Kro (Inn). So when they started putting their jackets on and making ready to leave we did the same. Although once we got out into the car park I started to feel a bit stressed because they all started to embark on one of those water tractor things about the height of a double decker bus! :oops:

Realising that waiting for the next low tide would leave us 12 or so hours late for our DFDS sailing, it was hell for leather to get across the island and back to the causeway - only to find the water just starting to lap over it (and strangely flowing more from the landward side!). Luckily we were in our VW Amarok 4x4 camping truck, so accompanied by regular reassuring remarks such as, “We’re not going to die are we?” and “If we stop which direction do I swim?”. I headed out following the marker stones and poles back to the mainland.

Obviously we made it back in one piece but it’s interesting to contrast the photo I took from the landward end of the causeway below to how high the tide can get, so it still had a fair way to go.
