Settling In

Wednesday 25th May 201


                                                       Penny in her exclusive car space

A cold and overcast start - I was up early - 6 ish - took Penny for her early walk - then lit the coal stove - toastie !

We had a full breakfast - ( Bacon Grill ) - great - then ready to go out.

First to the Tourist Information Office to ask about access restrictions for dogs.
They said that restricted beaches will have a sign giving dates or all year restrictions - if there is no sign then no restriction - simple.

They also gave us maps for walks around the whole area - just the job.

                                                             Penny on Isle Grande

A favourite quiet beach is on Isle Grande - no signs - no problem - Penny loved it !!
We met a local guy and his toddler son and chatted in English for a while - Penny will have us chatting a lot more.

                                                            Super U at Tregestrel

Then shopping at Tregestrel - a huge - recently renovated supermarket - prices not too bad.

                                                    Trestrel beach with beach huts.

The sun came out and we walked all around this beach - had a nice coffee at Latitude restaurant and booked a table for our anniversary - 2nd of June - the view from there is fabulous - menu limited but good.

                                  Latitude restaurant dinning room - just visible extended onto the grass.

Back on board in hot sunshine - Jackie in her sun trap in the cockpit - I prepared dinner - Mussels and chips.

                                                       Jackie trying to sunbathe !!

Dinner was great - nice big mussels in two pots - both with challots - garlic and white wine - mernier style.
Jackie added cream - ala creme style.
Finished off with a fresh raspberry tart amazing !!

A walk on the local prom in sunshine - not much going on - two restaurants empty ! - what a view of the bay!!

During the night - Penny woke us at midnight barking !!
I took her for a walk - not what she wanted ! - so tried to settle her - no chance - she settle eventually sleeping between us - not enough quilt for that !!
I think she had a deep sleep early - shattered from a lot of walking - then woke up not knowing where she was.

A great day.

Mike and Jackie + Penny.
