What makes it one of my favourite places in the world? countless summers spent paddling in the sea as a child, eating hot chips by the beach, walking around looking at the beautiful old houses and immersing myself in nature.

God, Tim is going to freak out big time when he sees all these photos. He already complains that I am clucky enough as it is!
