And this is me, after a fifteen minute walk from home, enjoying the most spectacular 360 degree view across the entire Isles of Scilly. It's breathtaking stuff. |
This is the genuine wind-swept look, no fans or props required. |
A great spot to sit and stare, to wonder at life. |
The sunshine is at last showing these new trousers off better. These are the ones I recently bought in Palermo as seen here. They're navy and turquoise, pure new wool, quite weighty and yes, would look great with brogues. Jacket: TK Maxx. Trousers: Maggazini Anita. Trainers: Salomon. Top: charity shop. Rings: charity shop. Sunglasses: Quay Australia. I'll finish off today with a look around the islands from this wonderful vantage point. One of the best things about having been away on holiday is coming back to views like these. I think we all need a change of scenery every so often so that we appreciate what we have at home. It helps us return refreshed and able to see things in their true perspective. I'm so lucky to live on this idyllic little island out here in the middle of the Atlantic. |
This is Bishop Rock Lighthouse some seven miles away. |
Can you see it in the far distance? The island across the water is Bryher. |
In the distance to the right is the island of St Agnes and the bigger one to the left is St Mary's, the main island of the group. |
The wooden jetty ahead on Bryher is called Anneka's quay after Anneka Rice who built it in the era of the Challenge Anneka programmes. Do you think I gave her a big enough name check there? |
Straight ahead are the ruins of Blockhouse castle and beyond are the Eastern Islands with St Martin's to the left. For those of you who may wish to learn more about the islands or even plan a visit see here. If you hanker after the big outdoors in a very manageable size these islands offer the perfect holiday escape. Favoured by walkers, bird watchers, sailors, divers, beach lovers and those who like to cycle, swim, windsurf, kayak, fish, island-hop and watch gig racing - even take part in a triathlon - you can find all of this and more here on the beautiful Isles of Scilly. |
