Out of the wind... by happypat

Out of the wind...

Clevelys promenade on a cold winter day. Sleet & rain with wild gusty winds, not a day to be walking along the promenade!

We have been to see the film Darkest Hour this afternoon so a quick dash across the road as we came out.....token picture for Tuesday!

I recommend this film about Churchill wholeheartedly, his finest hour indeed! Periodically funny too this was a master piece!
I never knew how close the War Cabinet were to trying to come to a peace treaty through Mussolini!

Winston was having none of it!

Three good things:
1. Braved determined politicians.
2. All our brave men who served in WW2 & previous wars.
3. Freedom.
Sounds like one Farmer George would like as well.. must keep an eye out ...
This does look very bleak ... we are having some horrible winds at the moment as well .. but ours are hot and drying .. wish it would bring some rain and go away...

How many shades of grey! Great photo and that looming cloud .....did it bring snow I wonder?
Sounds like a good movie....history is so different when shared on film.

@brennieb he deserved to be a hero, a difficult man to live with though!

@julzmaioro Yes go & see it if you can, the alteration of Gary Newman with his thin face is a masterpiece!
