It was the perfect summer’s day
for a walk to Uphill - there are SO many lovely walks in the area that it is
difficult to stay away.
On this occasion I walked along
the beach from Royal Sands and never fail to find another perspective for
photographing the posts in the sands.
Before leaving home the news was reporting that more people had been
trapped in the sinking mud and had to be rescued – why do they not read the
signs? The view of Brean Down is sorely tempting but as yet no cycle or walkers
path across the River Axe. If only the
ferry were still operating.
The day trippers had not yet
arrived at this part of the beach and all was calm and peaceful as I headed on
around the salt marshes. A few small
boats were berthed in the estuary and their bells tinkled softly in the breeze
- it could have been a million miles from civilisation.
Across the tributary lay the boat
yard and the Wharf Side Tea Rooms - a very good place to stop for a pot of tea
(and comfort stop). The staff were
friendly and service excellent.
A previous post mentioned the
fact that Weston Town Council has refurbished the public conveniences in Uphill. It had been my intention of ‘paying a visit’
to these but I was met by a notice telling me they were “broken” and would be opened as soon as possible.
“So sorry for the
inconvenience”!!
