I seem to often wake at sunrise which is now very early (4.41 today) even though my bedroom is quite dark , but first a quick answer to MaryR's question about what we did on our island holiday. Walked every day except one when the winds were over 40mph, bird watched, explored lots of different beaches, sunbathed one afternoon, visited the little museum and the pottery, had a meal at the hotel and coffee and cake at The Yellow Hare, took lots of photographs, shopped for food and cooked (my friend is a very good cook), talked a lot... did some crosswords and in the eveinings watched The Chelasea Flower Show.
Relaxing and restorative, a perfect country holiday.
