How terrifying for those people at the time, seeing their homes disappearing and not knowing why! I'm sorry to hear that you slipped in the mud and hope that you're recovering now. I regularly encounter deep mud on my walks in the Chiltern Hills when it's been raining and try to keep to the banks where it's less slippy!

Your story is a reminder that the coast is always moving and sometimes that move can be very dramatic. I'm sorry to hear about your fall and hope you're OK. After such a dry late summer and autumn there has been a change to the footpaths here after recent wet weather. They're all muddy and slippery now, too.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-74263134484490633292016-12-14T14:36:28.759+00:002016-12-14T14:36:28.759+00:00I enjoyed our walk (until the fall), could almost ...I enjoyed our walk (until the fall), could almost feel the fresh clean air.<br />Amalia<br />xo<br />handmade by amaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589172037052603746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-7085527613967231072016-12-13T23:18:53.702+00:002016-12-13T23:18:53.702+00:00Hi Sarah,

Sorry about your fall, it reminded me of earlier this year when I was walking between Stonebarrow and Golden Cap. I wasnt paying attention to the paths (too much else to look at) and took a wrong turn, ended up in a muddy section frequented by cows so it wasnt all mud, slipped and fell in a bramble bush. No major damage apart from pride but I was on my own and felt rather vulnerable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-25247851073734500472016-12-13T14:05:36.134+00:002016-12-13T14:05:36.134+00:00I loved to accompany you on a virtual walk along t...I loved to accompany you on a virtual walk along the coast of beautiful England.
