The enormous beach at Wissant
Catch of the day for sale ” Wissant”
The small village of Wissant on the Cote d’ Opale remains attractive and very popular with windsurfers.
The Cote d’Opale is the stretch of Channel coast between Calais and the mouth of the River Somme.
The Island of Antiparos has managed to hold on to friendly small island atmosphere and has a lot going for it, good beaches, good tavernas and caves to explore. Only one hour by ferry to the island of Naxos and 40 minutes to Paros. A great place for kayaking, avoid July and August.

Landing on the uninhabited small island of Despotiko only around 2 nautical miles from Antiparos.

Lunch break
I enjoyed a 2 day course last September with “Sea kayak Cornwall” based in Falmouth. The instructor Simon Osborne was really good and so was his assistant. The first day was spent trying to improve our kayaking skills.
The second day we had a longer paddle from Swanpool to St Anthony’s lighthouse and to St Mawes for lunch, and back to Swanpool to practise rolls etc. we were very lucky as the weather improved and it was a great day, considering the rain we had on the previous day.
Lunch break on the first day of the course
The Callanish standing stones ( original watercolour by Beryl Touchard ) for more paintings visit Beryl’s website www.beryltouchard.com
Yesterday, I was looking through some old photos I took on some previous trip to Scotland. I think Scotland is really an amazing place especially the islands. If it wasn’t for the distance from London and free time , I would spent more time there.My wife Beryl feels the same passion, she loves to paint the changing landscapes and she is fascinated by the standing stones .( The standing stones of Callanish, Isle of Lewis and Machrie stone circles on the Isle of Arran). We hope to go to the Orkney’s in the near future.
Anyway, here are few photos I hope you will enjoy!
