It has been a long, grey winter but we are starting to see some brief glimpses of the sun.
It has been the wettest, greyest, stormiest, wildest winter we can remember.
The sun came out on Saturday so we hit the beach for sausage sandwiches and a play in the sand. Crow Point sits at the end of Saunton Sands and can be reached by car heading out of Braunton to Velator.
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.
We've been having some busy days and then heading to Putsborough beach to catch some evening sun.
Sri Lankan curry on the beach from 6pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in the holidays. Take a rug and something to drink and watch the sunset.
We are eating every meal outside, desperate not to miss a moment of sunshine while it lasts.
A quick drive from Squires Fish and Chips to Putsborough Beach to make the most of a brief sunny interlude. Hard to believe there are gales forecast tomorrow.
The clocks go forward tonight and it already feels like summer is here. After the heavy frost at the start of the week it has come as a surprise to be spending the afternoon on Putsborough.
For the first time this year we ate lunch outside and went barefoot at the beach.
We managed to catch a glimpse of the snow in London and came back to sunshine here. It looked quite pleasant from the car park at Putsborough but it was a bitterly cold walk.
