Jewellery selling this morning was … not good. I had an hour or so of great sunshine, then it drizzled intermittently. I kept on covering and uncovering my display with the waterproof picnic blanket but eventually gave up after ₤19.50. On the bright side, my morning was really made by the unexpected offer of “would you like some tea or coffee while you’re sitting there?” by Hazel, the owner/manager of the Consulate Hotel. She had been dashing back and forth between the hotel and the seamstress’ shop in the Cannister, and on her way back made the offer. I accepted gladly, and was really touched when she came back with a tray laden with coffee and carrot cake – no charge. Random acts of kindness…
These are some images Nick took while going on his first exploratory drive of Ascension. First up is the Roman Catholic church, open on two sides, followed by a typical coastline shot - black rocky outcrops embedded in white beach sand. Next, the pincer of a beach crab left lying on the beautiful coral sandy beach, and a land crab below that, found several hundred feet above sea level on one of the mountains.
