Summer on Scilly

I have always wanted to go..but it will never be. Too travel sick. But I so enjoyed your photos. It looks like going back about 70 years in time....just so relaxed...and so sunny too! :)

What a heavenly place - it looks as though you had good weather too.
That's a splendid shot of the twins stranding on the cromlech (at least that's what they are called in Wales, it might be different in Scilly)

I love the one of them hand-in-hand paddling into the sea Stera...so lovely! :)

great photos, thanks for sharing, a beautiful place, wish i was there!

Looks a fabulous place to stay!

Karen you can fly by Skybus from Exeter and Newquay. no need to go on the water

How lovely is that ! It looks beautiful and so nice to have everyone together.

Lovely Chris - lovely photos, and you took me back to imagining the wild 'white' bluebells alongside the lanes. So glad you had such a great family holiday.

Karen - we flew from Land's End a couple of years ago: just 8 people on a ten minute flight - easy! And the plane is met by bus/taxi drivers who ask everyone where they're staying, then take them there: so friendly.

How lovely to have the younger generations together on a family holiday. Thank you for sharing your time together, it looks so tranquil, a special holiday.

Thanks for this, will always be a special place for us, we spent our honeymoon on Tresco, just magical!!

And that's who should be in charge ! It's like heaven ... :)

Lovely comments from you all, thanks to everyone for looking.

Yes Hywel it is a heavenly place. To watch the children run free on nearly deserted beaches was a wonderful sight in this day and age.

Oh Chris,I have only just seen this,and what a treat to see your lovely photo's of the superb scenery and your lovely Grandchildren.all of you having a wonderful family time together.. Fraser and Finlay look so big now,and little Zoe looks right at home there :o)..All the planning it took,came to fruition ,as I knew it would..a daunting task neveretheless,but well worth it...now youv'e done it successfully once,I'm betting you will do it again at some point :o) thank you for sharing this with us :o) x

Simply beautiful....

Two days on from your post and the weather here is dull, drizzly and not warm. So to see your lovely photo's of blue skies, lovely views and beautiful beaches cheered me up no end! Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing your family get-together with us. It looks as if all the planning was worth while. Gorgeous weather too, to make it all perfect. What a wonderful place Scilly is, no wonder it's special to you. You have a wonderful family too to share it with.

Many thanks for these more recent comments. You all say such lovely things.

It was a really happy time and the children really enjoyed the great outdoors and the freedom they had to explore.
I hope we get the chance to do it all again one day. Shame they live such a long distance from us.

Great to see blue skies & sunny days. How lovely to have 3 generations all holidaying together.
I went to Sicily many years ago but it wasn't such a success because I was missing my 6 mth old baby too much.
We went up Mt Etna on the North side - it was like being on the moon, lol. Two weeks after we had returned we heard Etna had erupted.
