A convivial gathering in Mothecombe schoolhouse field until all eight were present and correct and conveniences visited.
Sunscreen, hats and shorts the order of the day. Blue sky and sun.
How lucky were we ?

Off down the hill to enjoy a slice of faded bluebell woodland track before the sandy vista of the little beach came into sight. We zigzagged our way between the towels and sandcastles before beginning our climb past the "teahouse" and looking back at the lovely beach views.
Now through buttercup meadows and up and down the twisty path past foxgloves and views to admire of turquoise rocky coves and daring lads splashing in.
St Anchorite's rock came into view and a in few more downs and ups we were at the rock itself. A nice long coffee stop and a return trek back for lunch and a wander in Mothecombe House Gardens. Plenty to admire by way of thatched cottages, Georgian house, leafy tracks, lavenders, aquilegias and echiums but roses mostly still sleeping.
Lovely day out in best of company
