I had planned to take Fudge to the beach at Shellinghill to get a nice
watery shot for the weekend challenge Reflections.
But I didn't think that I would have so much to reflect on and to give
thanks for such a beautiful sunset.
Just a short while earlier my husband and son took Fudge for a walk
up the narrow country road where we live, while I did some photo
processing.
My son arrived home, out of breath, with a message that
I was to phone the emergency services as a car had failed to negotiate
a sharp bend and crashed down a steep embankment to the stony shore
below. After dialing 999 and calling for an ambulance, I drove up to see
what had happened, fully expecting the worse. Miraculously the two
people in the car had escaped without serious injury and declined the
offer to be taken to hospital.
My husband told me that the car had sped past them with just inches
to spare before carrying straight ahead over the bridge without
turning. He saw it go over the drop leading to the shore, where it
landed on its roof.
