St. Martin's

We were up early in expectation of catching the early boat to St Martins. However it transpired the early boat on a Thursday is half an hour earlier. Nat though chatted up a Tresco boat services chap who was just leaving for St Martins to take a school outing to Tresco. So we hopped on the Hurricane and were whisked across at high speed!
The Old Bakery was open, so we got a round of tea/coffee/lemonade and some naughty cakes. Then we set off for the Day Mark and enjoyed some of many superb views back to Cornwall and out to the Eastern Isles. At the DM we met a chap out photographing and getting some drone shots for his graphic design business.
Returning to higher town we called in Sue Lewington’s gallery before turning towards lower quay having established that as the afternoon pickup point.
We found the FayePage jewellery workshop fortunately just as a shower arrived, and just a stones throw from the Sevenstones which offered Liquid Sunshine by contrast.
Lunch and sketching on the beach before embarking for St Mary’s aboard Meridian.
Dinner was at the Galley and delicious.
All in all a splendid and busy day. Juniper was a treasure and entertainment for all she meets.Read more
