Postcard from the Isle of Wight!

We walked along the coastal path again today, from St Lawrence towards Niton. Although the path follows the coast it is mostly along the cliff top.









Sometimes the path was WAY too near the edge for my liking. You can see clumps of earth just begging to be allowed to fall.





Now this is a rockery - au naturel!





Lots of cinnabar moths about. I was struggling to remember their name all morning, got back, turned on the laptop to fire up google and remembered instantly!

Walking in Winchelsea

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside... (come on, sing along)

These photos were all taken on a walk along Winchelsea seafront. I'm a sucker for information boards - I love to find out about the area and the wildflowers.



These are yellow horned poppies - you can see why!



Teasels - love the sculptural shape. I remember making hedgehogs out of them as a child.



A lagoon just off the beach was filled not with the seabirds we were expecting but by goats.



Another surprise. We decided this must be a testing area for roofing paint or something like that. Odd!



sea peas



You can just see the wind farm in the distance. I'm a fan (no pun intended!) I think they're quite beautiful.



Our gravel garden is starting to fill with wild flowers now, this beach look is what we're aiming for.



and finally... ;-)
