Cornwall weekend – February 2015
For one reason or another, we have spent most of our weekends so far this year hibernating. Our recent home improvement projects have made our house a warm cozy home. Lazy mornings in bed, followed by brunch. Reading. Watching films. … Continue reading

We’re in Cornwall for a long weekend. Home away from home. We spent the day at Constantine Bay. We’d planned to spend a couple of hours there. We spent five. I pondered, pottered and played. Big high loud deafening waves. … Continue reading

Cornwall – May 2013 Bank Holiday weekend
Hmmm. It was always my aim to write about Cornwall today. How topical. The latest storm to batter Britain has inflicted much damage to the South West. The latest news is that Devon and Cornwall could be cut off for six … Continue reading
Cornwall – December 2013
It’s still raining outside. I don’t think it will ever stop. That’s it. And that’s fine. Once you accept this, you begin to relax a little and are able to get on with your life. Clearly, I’m lying. I shall … Continue reading

Elephants – Cornwall, March 2013
A new brand of teas and coffees, discovered in a convenience store in Constantine Bay. A cookie (from Tesco)… which wasn’t very nice at all, unfortunately. Elephants are everywhere…
Cold Cornwall
What’s with the weather? Yesterday, we had a mini (wet) snow storm and this morning, the pavements were icy and dangerously slippery. It’s freezing. Literally. On 2 April. For our weekend away to Cornwall, the weekend before last, I packed as … Continue reading

Cornwall – February 2013
Dull grey sky. Watched the waves crash into the island with a flask of coffee and biscuits. Since our last visit, another bit of the coastal path has been shut. Ouch. Watched Newquay lose at home to Tavistock. I hadn’t been … Continue reading

Cornwall – January 2013
I love our weekends in Cornwall. And the ‘out of season’ ones are some of the best. Near-deserted beaches. Nice crisp weather. We found a new cave to explore in Holywell Bay (must remember to take a torch with us … Continue reading
