Holiday Memories (Part 2)

           Island Hopping... St Martins - first stop, the bakery! ...followed by a picnic on the beach and a little sunbathing. I get a bit closer to my goal of actual swimming in the sea and manage a few seconds of doggy paddle before the cold is just too much... So I settle for paddling and a spontaneous fish pedicure, instead. Later that evening... warming up with Spanish tapas at Dibs! Keeping on the food theme... a trip to Tresco and a lovely lunch at Ruin Beach Cafe. Exploring Tresco Abbey Gardens... Another day, another island... This time the beautiful rugged coastline of St Agnes.   A quick stop at The Bulb Shop to say hello to Mandy and drop off some more of my jewellery. It's been selling well so I'll have earned my glass of wine at the Turks later!  Admiring the beautful stained glass windows at St Agnes church by the very talented Oriel Hicks. On to the Turks for that glass of wine

Holiday Memories... (Part One!)

Getting there... on the tiny 8-seater Islander... We were at the front of the plane this time - it was such a clear day we could see the islands shortly after take-off. Drinks at Dibbles... A walk round Peninnis Head... ...and the Garrison.  Cream Tea at Carn Vean and wine tasting at Holy Vale Vineyard (and very nice it was too!)   Beautiful aeonims...
