25th March 2023
No real plans today apart from visiting a market, we couldn't find the one we had planned to visit but found another one and had a successful trip buying pear, kiwi, lemon, blueberry and pomegranate trees and a rosemary bush.
The only problem was that they wouldn't fit in the car, so we had to drive the ten miles back with the boot open!
Once back, we dropped the trees off and after battling to get the washing machine working we went to Lousa for dinner and a walk.
We found the most fabulous cafe, thanks to Happy Cow again and then walked up to the castle, it was a long slog uphill but it had the most amazing views along the way, The pathway we walked on was interesting as it was a wooden structure bolted to the cliffside on stilts with large pieces of the roadside missing and shored up with breeze blocks. Scary!!
We arrived at the castle and looked around the cattle and the fabulous river beach nearby, it hadn't been filled up yet but the old watermill and weir were lovely.
The walk back was much easier and I had a pleasant phone call with Daisy on the way home catching up on the news and opening my present of a mushroom incense burner. The perfect end to a fabulous birthday.
