Morning Routine

We have got into a little routine with Milly the Dog now.

We get up early, sometimes before the sun has risen above the mountains. As we walk along pass the salt flats the sun rises and sends a path of light across the water. We walk along the causeway and over the little bridge with the fishing boats below in the canal. Pass the old windmills and up along the track following the sea.

Milly checks to see if we are going down to a little cove so that she can have a swim and fetch sticks that Tracy throws for her. There are usually a couple of fishermen along the rocks, and we think Milly helps push the fish in their direction.

After a swim we carry on along the coastal path which gently rises to provide a lovely view of the bay behind us and the sea in front. There is a small Church on the brow of the hill. The path meanders on along the coast but we usually turn around here and head back for breakfast.

The sun is warm on our backs and we cast shadows of the three of us walking along. At the bottom of the hill we meet the bay and follow the waters edge around, back over the bridge of the causeway and past the salt flats. We say hello to the three goats, Billy, Nanny and Getmy. This walk usually takes about 1.5 hours.

We all then have our breakfast....... Our little 'Taverna' in the back garden is very quiet and in the morning and evening there is a heady scent of the lemon tree blossom. It has produced a fine selection of lemons. This is how we start our day, life is good.
