Yarmouth, Isle of Wight

While hubby was cycling the 70 mile Wiggle sportive today, woofa and I opted for walking. Although we did find some lovely tranquil spots to laze in the sunshine and read my book too!

Mevagissey, Cornwall




Coastal walk from Gorran Haven to Mevagissey

We took to the coastal path to visit Mevagissey, enjoying the 3 mile walk in the spring sunshine. While in town we enjoyed lunch and a glass of wine followed by a little wander around the harbour and town, before heading the 3 miles back. All very pleasant!


St Mawes, Cornwall

We enjoyed a lovely day in St Mawes, and even took the ferry to Falmouth for little wander around.

Easter in Cornwall

Oh my goodness, can that holiday really have been our Easter break? Sunny days and a sun burnt nose? What a joy! Blue skies and blue waters... with a refreshing breeze! (wind!)

New Year in Dartmouth, Devon

Dartmouth was delightful. As usual! The town was open and bustling and the weather pretty wonderful. Expecting the worst we went prepared to hunker in, books and bubbly a plenty. Luckily, the weatherman got it wrong.

But frankly, Gooder House was beautiful, I wouldn't have minded not getting out of bed for 4 days! Newly refurbished and very nicely done. It felt calm and tranquil. Perfect for a R&R escape from Christmas! We did however venture out. Just! 

I even indulged with a morning at The Dart Spa. Heaven. Much needed too! A spot of lunch in the very civilised lounge followed. Earl grey tea and a huge sandwich. Awfully lovely, thank you! Hubby didn't join me, opting for a 40 mile cycle ride. Good on him! 

Our days involved refueling regularly. Us, not the car. That stayed in the garage ! A cosy beer in The Cherub on Monday afternoon, tapas at Bayards Inn on a winters evening, lunch at the Floating Bridge on New Years Eve, warming soup and mulled wine late afternoon at Dart Cafe and of course fish and chips! Can that be all ? 

So, Christmas seems a long distant memory and I'm looking forward to work on Monday. A successful break!
