Another splendid day. The weather is promising. I wandered around the garden. They work so hard on all the little details. Kate says that they have never moved.
Kate and Jane take care of packing a picnic and off we go. Stephen has a 7-seat car and since we were 6 it was good to only need to take one car.
We parked at the Hikers Cafe, passed the Hengistbury Head Visitor Center and started up the hill. This is almost a tradition when you visit.
You can see the gap in the middle of that thin land. Last year we took the ferry over to the beach.
This time we walked.
There is the beach.
From the top you go down some steps and then walk through this maze of fern.
Looking behind me.
There are all these holiday huts (which cost above 100K). Since it was midweek most were empty and we "borrowed" a picnic table. We were not really sure but may be it was communal property. Anyway, no harm done. We took our trash.
Gosh, these were juicy. They call them donut peaches.
The tide was out so we took a different way back. I have never walked this way. Hardly any ups and downs.
That walk was good for me. Loved it.
In the evening Kate and David's daughter Jo and her family came. A birthday present for Jane.
We were 12 and all fitted around the table. I love family time. So much to talk about. And Helen even called via FaceTime.
Ups, we were 13. I forgot about Tuffy the dog.
Of course it was a school night. The children had to get home. It was great seeing them. Kate and David will see their three grandchildren on the weekend because Friday starts their "granny camp". They do one every year with several other grandparents and their grandchildren. I think they had told us that there are going to be 18 kids. Sounds like exhausting fun to me.
