Your trip covers areas from where my ancestors came from. It sounds amazing. Look forward to next instalment. 😊
wonderful colourful deserted beaches. the jellyfish pic lends itself to some sort of creative project for me in due course perhaps. enjoy your explorations! the heather should be out above some of the less busy beaches a d hillocks on the Isles of scilly too – our destination next week. Jill BB
