Not a great weather day, very very windy and some rain. We figured that most places would be closed today, so we decided to stay near the cottage and explore our immediate surroundings, especially as we have spent so much time in the car the last couple of days. We headed down to Portnahaven where we had a toddle around. The sea was looking really angry in the wind, but we spotted some seals in the harbour and watched them bobbing around for a while. To our surprise we found the Post Office open and also a pottery / tea room open, so we decided to have tea and a bun whilst we recovered from being battered by the wind. 
We then headed off to Port Charlotte, where we found a secluded little beach which was sheltered from the wind, so we went for a play – in full British beachwear: fleece, Gore-tex jacket, jeans and boots. It didn’t matter, we all had fun and the sand was great fun. Tom decided it would be fun to try and bury me – I couldn’t stop him, so relented and was covered in sand as a result.
We popped into the Port Charlotte Hotel for lunch. We just had sandwiches, but the people next to us had seafood and it looked wonderful. Pricey, but think it will be worth it, must go back for dinner.
Once done, we headed back to the cottage, put Tom down for his nap and then spent the afternoon playing in the garden (when not shooing black sheep from the garden)
