Now that really is something new - a cure for bubonic plague no less.
On a sunny day out from Wembury where 100 children were to gather for an environmental day. Heading west by the seaside with the sun shining and barely a ripple. To Heybrook Bay to find a nice little beach for a cuppa and collect shells. Turning north where this wonderful plant was found in abundance. Butterbur, the flower of one of those giant plants found in streams. Butterbur has giant 1m heart shaped leaves once used to wrap butter. It was believed to have medicinal properties 400 years ago and recently it has been proved true. At Bovisand beach huts turning inland to explore the farms and beautiful old houses. The dry weather had encouraged the locals to get out spreading, evidence of which we took with us. Heading back to the car park down the valley in nice time. On to the Odd Wheel with excellent service and hospitality. We are getting accustomed to being seated all together on a large table in luxury.
These seaside walks could catch on. Wonder no one has thought it before!
