Holiday view

We are home from holiday, and we have had a lovely chill out time.

  This is the view we had from our sitting room right on the cliff top in Marizion Cornwall.   The whole house was absolutely beautiful, complete with a four poster bedroom, a rainfall shower and juczucci in the bathroom, a flowered terrace to sit and chill with a bottle of wine, and of course my DH. What a place to spend our wedding anniversary, I felt truly blessed!
The island you can see is called St Michaels Mount and the castle ( previously a monastery) has been there since the 15th century. It is part of the pilgrims way and many people make the journey. The island can be reached by a causeway at low tide, but otherwise you need to make the crossing by boat.
The whole area is a wildlife paradise with lots of seabirds, and the occasional dolphin pod or seals to watch. We were very fortunate to have lovely warm sunny weather, with only a brief misting or sea fret.
