Silecroft 2007

These pictures are from Dan's birthday in February. We stayed at Boots and Boards B&B; a really lovely place with local, organic and Fair Trade food and very environmentally consciously renovated and maintained. We climbed the nearby Black Coombe and went along the beach pony trekking.
