Isles of Scilly

We found a pretty spot to anchor: St Helen's Pool. This is surrounded by small uninhabited islands that are home to many birds. The Pool is protected from almost all directions, and you can dinghy over to either Tresco or St Martin islands.

Tresco has many footpaths that meander through its shoreline and countryside.


 A freshwater lake with flying fish!
 
 
 Wild agapanthus were in full bloom
 
 
 and are properly at their best in some English summer sunshine.
 
 
 The sun may be out, but no shorts for Nancy!
 
 Tresco has active farms set amongst the island's hills, with onions, potatoes, flowers and cattle.
