Sunday morning brings heavy rain so the rest of the party indulge me in a trip down memory lane. We get in the Quashqai & drive about 2hrs down to a small place called Crookhaven. We had a family holiday here when I was about 10 or so. The place has not changed a great deal; the pub is still there plus a few extra houses and amenities. It is very pretty & the small sands just as you come into the village are just the same, the sea is so clear you can see right down to the sandy bottom. I could not recognise the house we stayed in, much to my disappointment. The sun had come out so we enjoyed a quick beer before the long trek home. Stopping in Skibbereen for a coffee and quick stroll about.
The roadsides are lined with flowers. Bright orange Crocosmia (Montbretia), dark red Fuchsias, fragrant Meadowsweet and a plant with dark purple flower spike’s. The show was so grand several times we thought we were looking at the edge of a garden but they were all wild and very beautiful. It brought back memories of previous holidays. I have been here 3 times no make that 4 now.
Sunday Night we eat in Man Fridays in Scilly. This is a restaurant slightly out of the main town but walk able. As it was once again lashing with rain we grab a cab, but do manage to walk home! The sea is so calm it is almost like glass and the town is beautifully mirrored in it. The things you see when you don’t have a camera. We ate very well here; quite large portions though so felt rather stuffed at the end and were glad of the walk home. Ian had a beautiful fillet steak and the rest of us had rack of lamb. We all had starters and puds, although one of us managed a sticky toffee pudding! I don’t know how and it wasn’t Ian or me! No nightcaps tonight & in bed by 10.30 – Good Job!
