Yesterday we popped over to Carnforth, to the supermarket. On the way back, when we were still a bit inland, we were stunned by the Bay. It was so dark, slate grey.
At first I thought I was looking at the land on the other side of the Morecambe Bay. As we neared Morecambe & turned towards the promenade, there was no denying it was indeed the water in the Bay that was so dark. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it so dark except at night, obviously, when it is black.
Admittedly it was after 3pm, & in this part of the country it is lighting up time around 4pm, especially on an overcast day.
Looking up you could see the clouds were leaden, though in the far distance you could see a bright patch. But that just seemed to emphasise just how thick the dark clouds were.
A strange day, full of foreboding, not helped by the sight of so many closed shops & businesses due to the virus.
