Sixteen glorious days and seventeen comfortable nights in the
Isles Of Scilly. We flew there by Skybus from Newquay. We
camped at The Garrison on St Marys. Each day after
breakfast, we joined a boat at the harbour quay and went off to an
island to explore, lie in the sun, walk, drink and eat, meet
interesting people, watch birds, buy trinkets, visit churches in
which to sing, collect shells and pretty coloured glass. We visited
Tresco with it's Abbey Gardens and well managed estate,
castles, bird watching, the New Inn with splendid ice-cream. St
Martin's with a vineyard, organic eco-friendly cafe, lovely
trinket shop, bulb growers, bakery, and found a geocache. St
Agnes with the Turks Head and the island of Gugh over
the bar, cows, home made ice-cream, community fete and hall.
Bryher with the Hell Bay Hotel, played piano and table
tennis in the old school community centre, Hell Bay and its
crashing shore line. Samson, the uninhabited island with the
ruined houses where we collected bulbs from a croft and lay on the
beach on a very warm day. St Marys, the main island with its
restaurants, shops, bars and Neolithic cairns and burial
chambers. |
