And very glad we didn`t just turn round and go home because there certainly was a beach - plenty room, very few folk there, warm breeze, turquoise sea. L. dipped in the water but there were too many jellyfish for me (i.e. not many but even one is a bit off putting if you want to actually swim.) Shame though as it`s not many days up here when both the water and the air are warm!
It was mostly a case of strolling, a bit of cave exploration (in one of which there was a bird (we assumed) making the weirdest and slightly spooky groany noise),staring out to sea and taking lots of deep breaths. There was also a little local story to enjoy about a brave lady called Jane Whyte who rescued some seamen from their wrecked boat back in the day.
All in all it was a most restorative afternoon if only for the change of scene. This really is a lovely place to live especially on this kind of day.
