Can anyone tell me please.

As the sun is setting. in what direction is the moon. I know I may sound dim, but I know nothing about the night sky.

Well just watched the high tide at Praa Sands and it covered the whole beach.
Due to the super moon I guess.
Now watching the sun start to set in the West on was a lovely sunny afternoon.

in the East mm

I thought the moon roughly follows the same path as the sun (East to West) but is at different points on the path from month to month.

The Moon follows a similar track across the sky as that of the Sun however the distance that one lags behind the other varies over time.

Currently the Moon is rising in the East around the time the Sun is setting in the West.

Thank you all very much.

To add a little to AB's answer, the moon’s apparent position relative to the sun is not fixed. The moon orbits the earth every twenty eight days and it appears to progressively fall behind the sun by about 50 minutes (24 hours divided by 28) each day. So if the sun and moon rise together on day 1, on day two the moon would rise 50 minutes after the sun, on day two one hour forty minutes later than the sun, and so on. (That’s roughly it. Some other factors cause these periods to vary very slightly but insignificantly).

This also explains why the high tides are about fifty minutes later each day.
