Sunday in Wells

Peter and I walked out to the lifeboat station and beach. We stopped a while in the National Coastwatch lookout hut to chat to the guys there, but we couldn't distract them. 

We walked past the beach huts. One is up for sale in the estate agents in town for £65,000. Very smart, but as I said to Peter, 'you could buy a really nice boat for £65,000'. 

Once again, on our return, Calviere II was high and dry. We had slackened the mooring lines as they had been too tight. Now Calviere II is about two foot out and about four foot up, not easy to climb aboard. We managed by pushing up the first, and then tugging the second aboard. 

We clambered down for the short walk up to The Globe for our roast Sunday lunch. A large dinner, followed by a selection of cheese & biscuits, accompanied by a bottle of wine. 

Unsurprisingly, we napped most of the afternoon. 

In the evening, shortly before sunset, we walked along the East Quay. On our return we stopped at the Dutch sailing barge, Albatross, which is moored on the quay. We sat on the upper deck, watching the terns diving into the incoming tide and tucked into Dutch style pancakes. Peter had the Apple & cinnamon and I had stem ginger with maple syrup.
