Last week we had planned to have lunch in Exford but a nose bleed delayed us and we decided to stay nearer home and go to Blue Anchor Bay- eminently suited to the high anti-cyclonic weather.
This is the Smuggler's Inn above but it was closed - I seem to remember it doesn't open at lunch time in the winter months.
See what I mean about the weather. The far hill is where we live.
Looking in the other direction the higher white building is the Blue Anchor Inn where we had a reasonable lunch. Normally there are lots of anglers here.
It's a rambling old place and after we had eaten in this room we discovered a conservatory which we'll try next time. Beautiful day - but chilly.

I envy you living so close to the sea. I miss it. Lovely photos.
What a beautiful spot you live in, phtographed on a lovely day.
(Hope the nose bleeds haven't persisted - I used to have problems with this)
A beautiful place. I love the sea. :¬)

What gorgeous views!!
Love the blue and white railings!
Lovely views but it does look cold - or is it that I just feel cold today?
Glad the meal went well.
I trust you've a sailboat handy for the summers, dear. Didn't you and YTL enjoy that in years past, or am I just dreaming you posted about such excursions here?
Cheers.
Queenie: it hasn't got the panache of further south but its great to have.
Mickle: MTL has warfarin - has the odd nose bleed from time to time. At present they are fiddling around with the dosage which means he has to visit the clinic weekly rather than 6 weekly
Mapstew: it looks its best in the sun but where doesn't?
Judy: yes we appreciate them - even though there are no mountains.
Cloud cutter: quite recently painted so looking its best.
Sandy: It was jolly cold.
Randall: yes you did read about the sailing but it was with my first husband. MTL rowed at Oxfrd but wouldn't claim to be a sailor.
I love where I live now but I so miss the lush green and ocean views you have.
As always beautiful photos... what a wonderful place you live just point and click... and "waa laa" Fabulous !
cheers !
Oops. I must keep all of your various romantic interests sorted out. Given that you were (and continue to be) a solid 9.72/10 on the "Babe-O-Meter," that's more difficult for us readers than you might imagine. My apologies to YTL.
Cheers.
Parsnip: pity we can't magically swap for a week:)
Randall: 'I must keep all of your various romantic interests sorted out.'
Just the two husbands in 50 plus years. I fear your Babe-O-Meter has a flat battery but its a nice thought;)
Those blues are gorgeous.
Lovely pictures...! I love the perspective Pat--it gives you such a feeling of the place...!
And that looks like a sweet place to Lunch, too!
Eryl; a delight after the grey murk of recent days
Naomi: yes it really suit its name - Blue Anchor Bay. I wrote a poem once about Williton, Watchet and Blue Anchor Bay.
Ah, English pub life, how delightful; but you'd think that smugglers would want lunch on winter days as well.
Gadjo: because they are off the beaten track they rely on custom from a nearby caravan site who are missing in the winter. I'm wondering if they have a secret tunnel down to the sea. A pub in Watchet does.
I appreciate your love of where you stay hen. Being happy in one's home and skin is a rarity these days.
Sounds and looks lovely!
Jimmy: a blessing I believe we share:)
John.G: golly can you hear the waves way up there?
A chilly lunch = a hot toddy to finish it off.
Four.D: nice idea but we didn't have a hot poker with us and you can't have a proper hot toddy without a hot poker.
What I like is the way you ENJOY where you are, Pat. It's a beautiful place yet some would grumble. You know how to live to the fullest.
Your photos are, as always, wonderful. Of course, you take them on beautiful, picture-postcard days--NOT when it's damp, the wind is howling, and it's raining sideways.
Thank you for that.
GG: I do do my share of grumbling but try not to spread gloom and despondency.
Charlie: I'm beginning to feel like little Miss Sunshine:)
