We spent most of our anniversary at Almograve which has all the ingredients for the Ebsworth idea of paradise:
1. a cliff top walk
2. fine soft sand
3. rock pools
4. surf
5. very few other people!
6. our own picnic
7. sunshine
8. low tide at midday
We shared a wonderful day, the first anniversary we’ve had in temperatures of 25 degrees. Some of you who were at our wedding will remember the wind and the rain in March 1981.
While we were on the beach we watched a few men brave the surf and fish from the top of the rocks quite a way out from the safety of the beach. They were fishing for bass and bream.
We watched one in particular as he landed 4 bass in about an hour. You could tell he was keeping an eye on the tide as he leapt about the rock hoping for a bite. We wondered if he was thinking of staying out there until the next low tide, especially as a couple of the waves nearly knocked him and his catch back into the water.
After landing his fourth big fish he reluctantly packed his catch very carefully in a duffle bag, swapped his trainers for flippers and let the waves carry him back over the smaller rocks to the safety of the beach. Talking to him when he was back on the sand he admitted that it was getting too dangerous to stay where he was and he was disappointed that he’d only caught 4, but at least they would have fresh fish for Sunday dinner!
Enjoy the photos!
