Widemouth Bay

I went out early and had my breakfast overlooking Widemouth Bay, before attending the weekly staff meeting via Teams – in the car, in the rain!

After the meeting, the rain stopped, so I walked down to the beach along the South West Coast Path.

South West Coast Path walk

I parked in the same place I did on Saturday and walked north(ish) towards Bude – taking as many opportunities as possible to make images.

The light was particularly good as the weather was overcast – so no hard shadows but it did mean the distance was a bit hazy.

First order is the day was find somewhere for breakfast with a great view. With this is mind I found an out of the way drop in the cliff down to a spot – out of the wind but where the main sound was the crash of the waves.

The plastic box is an up-cycled cake box. Breakfast was home baked wholemeal bread with cheese spread and homemade plum jam. Of course I brewed fresh coffee.

The biscuits (Oreo’s and breakfast biscuits), apple and fried rice is for lunch or snacks. In the box is also milk, curtesy of the hotel, a vegetable stock cube and soy sauce.
