Easter 2013 - Croyde to Putsborough

We all took a walk today from Croyde to Putsborough, going round Baggy Point. On the way going past some dangerous drops, and watching some people Coasteering, which seems to require jumping into the sea near rocks! As we went round towards Putsborough we saw the massive expanse of the beach heading off to Woolacombe.

Easter 2013 - Croyde beach

The beach in Croyde is enormous, and the waves are great for surfers.

Easter 2013 - Croyde sand dunes

Walking in the sand dunes in Croyde. They are enormous. As you can see in the videos, the kids loved rolling down them!

Easter 2013 - Croyde pubs

There's only a few pubs in Croyde, but we spent time in The Thatch for food, and Billy Budd's for Pool!

Easter 2013 - Croyde House

The house in Croyde, Surfsup,  was very comfortable, with internet, a hot tub, a wood burning stove and plenty of seating for everyone to relax over Easter

Easter 2013 - Porlock en route to Croyde

On our way to Croyde, we stopped off for a Cream Tea in Porlock, a pretty village with a very steep hill as you leave! The Cream Tea in Mrs. Jackson's Victorian Tea Room was very good. Siv liked the Miles Earl Grey tea so much, she bought two boxes.

Some spring this is...

Its officially Spring, but we found this disc of ice on top of our Water Butt this evening, which seems to back up that this is the coldest March in 100 years.

Thanksgiving Service for June

We had the Thanksgiving service for June today, a sad occasion, but so nice to see so many people, to whom June obviously meant a lot. Many thanks to Peter Geekie and all at the London Spiritual Mission for a wonderful service, and all of the talented musical people who contributed....and of course to Mary Plazas for taking on the Lion's share of the organisation.
