mackworth island

I promise I’ll flood you with recipes soon, but this morning, a little recommendation. There is a place a few miles north of Portland, an island that is connected to the mainland by a little bridge. If you have little ones, or if you are a particularly whimsical grown-up, get yourself to Mackworth Island. The other day we met friends for a morning walk, and walked on the woody cliffy beach trail until we reached the city of fairy houses. Definitely up in the more magical experiences of my life, and the girls could have built fairy houses all day.
