the gate houseCastles are a fantastic place to play hide and seek, the girls really enjoyed despite it being biting cold. The wind was coming straight off the sea and our hands were aching with it by the end. We saw our first lambs of the season, poor wobbly little things, probably wondering what the heck kind of place they had been born into. I took a photo but they really are just blurry white pinpricks on a fuzz of hill so not much point posting them. They were lovely to see though and their bleating were the strident call of the changing season.
Off to The Pelican then for lunch: braised partridge for me with potato and leek gallettes and poached salmon with shredded spring vegetables for V. Rose had about a tonne of garlic bread and cheese while Eden and Lily gorged themselves on thick fluffy chips.
Times like these makes us realise how lucky we are with V's work. Two hours on a Friday, leaves us plenty of time for fun trips like today.
Hope you had a great day too.

Sigh. You have no idea what you're doing to me with your photos and recounts of fantastic visits to amazing places...
You lead a dream life and oh, I wish to be there if only for a few days, to breathe in that sea air and see all those sight with my very own eyes.
Thank goodness for yours :-)
