Just went back down to Age Concern to have lunch with Paddy again. More rain! I wanted to drive up around the Hoe to see what storm damage had been done up there but the road was closed. We drove to Mutton Cove instead - this is a photo of King William of Orange who landed here from the Netherlands in 1688.
