Isles of Scilly - back there again!

14 comments

I returned to my favourite holiday destination at the end of June and as I love it so much I want to share its beauty with you too.

I think the beauty of Scilly is mainly due to the colours in the sea and the sky which have a huge impact because the islands themselves seem so small and low-lying in comparison.
To really appreciate how lovely the islands are you MUST see them on a sunny day – the blues against the white sandy beaches are stunning. Just look!

The flowers also give quite a tropical feel to the islands whether growing wild amongst the sand-dunes, on grassy cliffs or in somebody’s front garden.

The driftwood structures on the beaches must have been blown away in the winter gales but on Bryher a new one had started. I added some shells, dried sea weed and pebbles to it. There was a piece of broken mirror through which you can see the sea!

We had far too many coffee stops along the way and need to go on a starvation diet now we are home!

This pretty little garden was next to a wooden seat and was made for everyone to enjoy. So simple but just right somehow!

Even when a storm threatens it is still beautiful. The photo was taken as we sheltered in a cave on St Marys.

Final pictures coming up!
It is a special place for me and always will be.

P.S. It was apple strudel with the cream by the way!
