We were met with cooler weather and a bit of rain on day 3 but still set out at 7:30am for our nature walk, this time along the coastal path in a different direction. Our destination was a small war memorial nestled on the cliffs, where many of the family names from the village were carved in to the stone. We paused to remember those that had given their young lives so that we could now live freely. The rain began to pick up the pace a little so we did too as we set off back to Seaways. Emily then guided us through Power Yoga which I haven't tried before but really enjoyed. It was definitely a challenge but Savasana felt so good at the end and so did breakfast. We had a hump day breakfast with a few extras to help us with energy. As well as porridge and fresh fruit we had smashed Avacado on toast and poached eggs and then everyone went off to enjoy the morning. A couple of the retreaters had their massages and nutrition talks with Emily and one of them went down to the village to take part in a painting workshop. Once again we gathered for lunch, pausing to give thanks for the hearty baked vegetarian baked bolognaise that was before us. After lunch Emily taught the group how to make bliss balls and sugar free breakfast muffins as a healthy alternative to sugary snacks. These went down a treat and inspired everyone to make these at home. The evening yoga session was restorative Hatha yoga so we once again got cosey with blankets and used cushions and blocks as supports for the body. Dinner was Emily's homemade butternut squash soup which once again we had with bread and cheese and left overs. Everyone took advantage of the mild and moonlit evening by going in the pool and the jacuzzi and reading outside, it was lovely to see how at home everyone was starting to feel at Seaways and the friendships that had begun to form.
