Distance: 9.4km

Steps: 16,248

Today has been a deliberately lazy day, grockling about WSM and we met with cousin Penny and husband Patrick.

A planned day of rest, I was glad to have a lie-in this morning. Jezabel and I walked north from the pier to ’Knightstone’ where we visited the tearooms, in the footsteps of the Queen, who re-opened Knightstone after its refurbishment in 2017.

A good ‘people watching’ place, the staff had entered into the fun of it by putting out four tables of four but only 14 chairs. On a busy ‘fully booked’ afternoon, you had to move fast to get your seating combination established before somebody else had relocated one of your empty chairs.

We went for a stroll along the prom and had a fish & chips lunch in the cafe on the pier.

It has been really nice to discover that I have a cousin so close. We’ll be sure to keep in touch.

Another walking day tomorrow, so Jezabel and I have had a quiet night in. Tomorrow the forecast is for rain all day. We have 10km to walk to Lympsham, possibly via the helicopter museum
