Another lovely day - we went for a much longer walk than we intended and met up with J who is in the middle of clearing an ancient mass path across the bog single-handed. She showed us what she had been doing - a slim, winding exploration hacked through the brambles and bracken, but a path distinctly visible underfoot - a pebbled causeway though the bog. It lead to an old mass house which itself was under a massive canopy of briars. Fascinating. I fear son#1 thought we were a couple of batty old dears though. We were accompanied by her bouncy dog William who seemed obsessed with collecting large stones. He also liked swimming in the bog.
We came home along the coast road and ate a bar of chocolate overlooking this view - the swimming beach in the distance.
