Hartland Point. The lighthouse is no longer in use. Would make a nice B&B. We walked back to Hartland Quay, got the car and went to the Lavender Tearooms, a nice place with local and organic produce. Then it was back to Higher West Town Farm, into the shower and then out to the pub.

Ups and downs on the coast path. When we started to walk the weather seemed to improve, but then the rain came again. It still was a nice walk.

Oh, by the way, have I told you about my house on the coast path? (in my dreams...) This is Blackpool Mill Cottage, a lovely cottage, where - as I have just found out - parts of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" were filmed. You can rent it. As did Prince William on his stag weekend, so I have been told by the locals. It belongs to the same family who owns Hartland Abbey, where we watched a bunch of men playing football in the morning. The same bunch suddenly showed up at the cottage and were having a barbecue (in the rain!) when we passed by. Later we encountered them again at "The Bell Inn" in Parknam. Stag night.

Hartland Abbey. We had considered visiting it seeing it was raining when we got up and continued to do all morning, but it is closed on the weekend. As we learned, after having walked through an open gate and approached the building, we weren't allowed to be on the grounds, so we trod off again, parked the car at Hartland Quay and walked to Hartland Point.

Higher West Town Farm, the farm we are staying at for two nights. It is just outside Woolsery, a small village not far from Clovelly. It is a nice place and cheap compared to everything else (except yhas) so far. I hope the weather will still be good tomorrow so we can walk on the coast path a bit.

A detail of the gardens. Such a peaceful place and full of positive energy and trust. You walk into the tiny shop, pick up tomatoes, figs, apples, squash, pears, herbs or whatever and leave the money in a box.

Giant rubarb. Found on the very nice path back to the church and gardens of Lord John Rous.
