The Old Schoolhouse

... very dramatic in the cold November light. Tucking in to our pasties from the previous night and a take away coffe, The Tom Tom then took us falteringly (the cable connection was rather dodgy) to Port Isaac which lies on the western coast of England in northern Cornwall.and is probably more familiarly known as Port Wen in the TV show Doc Martin.
Although the weather turned cold and ...

Day trip to Tintagel and Newquay

... chapel (well, ruins of) which dates from around 1000AD, and the castle itself was established around 1233AD. After a walk around the windy headland, we headed for Newquay, which is a popular town/beach for surfing. My favourite part of Newquay was definitely the house on top of the tor with it's own suspension bridge!

Shopping and driving day

It was a shopping and driving day today. We went for a bit of an impromptu tour around the Bodmin Moor area (didn't see the beast unfortunately) and then went to a big department store called Trago Mills where I bought a big road map for when I get a job driving around Europe.

Not much else to report for today, but we did see a cool scooter with thousands of mirrors and a tail!

The Day I went to Looe

... to catch 4 or 5! The nimal lovers reading this will be pleased to know that they were all sent back to the river from whence they came...and looked quite funny as they scuttled away sideways too.

There was a few very old buildings in Looe, including one which originally built in 1430! (see the Smugglers Cott photo). It was a nice relaxing day and as always it was good fun exploring a new town.

Off to Liskeard, Cornwall for a week

For my next trip I was off to Cornwall in the South West for a week with my Nan, aunties Jeanette and Marion and uncle Roland. We stayed at Lakeview Villas, about a 5 minute drive out of Liskeard.

Today we drove down from London, and aside from a bit of a holdup at Bath, it was a smooth drive down.

Back again...

... Walkabout (she normaly hates walkies... either the couple of pints or the lack of mental exercise has made her brain soft). Anyway we had another beer there. The best thing about the place is the view of the beach and the free wifi. We both lost our heads and ordered food which was edible but nothing to get excited about and then watched the free movie they put on the big screen.

Eden Project

... all in all the visit was we worthwhile if only for the excitment it created for our future travels.

From there we headed back to Fowey, this time in the daylight for a late lunch. It is a quaint harbour town in a bay twined with a similarly pretty village on the other side of the inlet(name unknown). We spent an hour wandering through the little alleys and checking out the wee shops before making our way over the ruins of St Catherines castle on the headlands.

St Michael's Mount

... of disappointed. Kim did get to see a seal though so she was happy about that, and she also got a photo infront of the most southerly cafe in Britain... Woo Whoo!!

Tomorrow we are going to the Eden Project so we wanted to find a place to stay near there. By the time we got there though it was dark and hard to find a suitable spot. We probably drove around for over an hour before we settled on a spot... We were not a happy bunnies!!!

Tour of Penwith the Cornish Peninsular - St Ives

We spent the morning wandering around St Ives.

It is a beautiful village full of art gallaries and narrow streets.

All the walking around made us hungry.

How could I pass up the opportunity for a hearty Beef and Stilton Pasty.

Kim equally splurged on Cornish Cream Scones and coffee ...

Running uphill is not so fun...

I slept like a log and not a wonder with all that exercise yesterday.

It was dead low tide first thing in the morning so nothing doing on the wave front. Kim and I go for a walk in Newquay town and take a few photos and do some shopping.

10.30 and I in head for a surf for 2 hrs. Clean chest high fun waves and I'm surfing with a bit more confidence having blown away the cobwebs the day before.

Ahhh now I really feel like I'm ...
