Cornwall Adventure 3

After an exploration of central Truro (I loved the Art Cafe! - yummy avocado, egg and bacon on sourdough - yummmmm), we have beetled along to Camping and Caravanning Club - Sennen Site this evening. 

It's a bit breezy with a gusty draft whipping in from the North, and we were a bit chilly. However, after a Korma we set out west to see the sunset on the beach. This microadventure was only about 20 minutes walk but the outcome was stunning.  This... is my cathedral.:

After a frosty sunrise at Camping and Caravanning Club Veryan site, we headed to Perranporth for the beach today. 

Though the sun was shining it wasn't that warm, though Miss Busy was determined to go in the water. We started with hot drinks outside the Watering Hole while Miss Busy and Mr Build-It got started on ambitious sandcastle building. 

After a bit, when it seemed to have warmed up, hubby headed to the campervan to fetch the wetsuits and then I headed to Pickwicks to collect fish and chips. We sat by the big rock on the beach to eat our lunch and then the other three went for a dip - not me for a change - I was too cold! Miss Busy was a bit surprised by the strength of the waves and glad to have her dad there to grab hold of.

Later, after picking up some groceries in Newquay, we drove along the coast and stopped to enjoy an ice-cream at Bedruthan Steps. Its breathtakingly beautiful there. A fabulous cliff-top spot for just chilling and finding your perspective on the world.

Walked from St Just-in-Roseland to St Mawes today. The weather is warm but grey and breezy. The kind of weather where you need your jacket on when you stop, but soon take it off again when you get walking.

This is a beautiful walk through fields along the river, with bluebells and other wildflowers I need to learn the names of scattered all around. The tide is out far enough that there are big sections you can walk along the shell-strewn foreshore too, which is where I'm sitting to write this, while the children play on a conveniently sited tyre swing.

St Mawes is in a beautiful spot. Multi-million pound homes along the shore and a very Joules vibe. I felt distinctly underdressed and scruffy! St Just is a riot of flowers, camelia  rhododendron and daffodils being the cheerleaders at this time of year.
