We just had to share this poem written by one of our guests,
"Yelki by the Sea
Sunshine and crashing waves
The joyous sound of wrens at play
A very old and weathered pepper tree
Shaped by harsh southerly winds
This house of stone, so lovingly restored
Has a history sung by hundreds of ghosts
It faces a bay which had a bloody past
But is now admired and enjoyed by all who come
The gardens are filled with birdsong and life
And plants that can survive their sandy home
Despite the plethora of passers-by
There is a soothing serenity, nourishing the soul
Thick stone walls that have seen so many and so much
Floorboards speaking stories of the past
Carefully placed piles of aged whale bones
And a welcome descent into history and tranquillity"
