We set off from Ilfracombe in the morning for a 12 mile walk along the coastal path taking in all of our favourite places; Ilfracombe Tunnels, Lee Bay, Bull Point, Morthoe, Barricane, Woolacombe and Putsborough beaches and finally Baggy Point. We arrived mid afternoon in Croyde in time for tea at Sandleigh.
Squeeze 4-5 lemons, dilute with about a litre of water, infuse with mint leaves and add sugar or honey to taste. Serve chilled from the fridge with ice cubes. Thank you Clara!
30 elderflower heads
1 litre water
1kg sugar
2 lemons
30g citric acid
Shake any bugs off the flowerheads and place in a large pot. Boil the water with the sugar and citric acid until dissolved then cool slightly and pour over the elderflowers and lemon. Leave to infuse for 3-4 days in the fridge. Strain through a cheesecloth and decant into bottles.
Surfers Against Sewage beach clean at 10.30am on Saunton Sands today. Beautiful day for it.

We are eating every meal outside, desperate not to miss a moment of sunshine while it lasts.
It has poured with rain again all day but the sun came out just in time for an evening swim.

The roses have had a bit of a battering with all the rain but everything is looking very green.
