Hugh Town harbour

It is as the rumours suggest. Another world. Disney films try, often, to present a world that is overpoweringly pretty.
The Scilly Isles leave Disney's efforts far behind, and the Scilly Isles are real.
There will be more to say, but in one day on St Mary's island, we've walked a few miles amid a profusion of colour, beautiful skies, bays of rock and sand that are nothing like Cornwall or England.
And the bay is full of visitors in their sundry boats, from the mainland, from the Netherlands, from France.
It is really lovely.
