Bedruthan Steps

The weather was reasonable, though really cold - I could see my breath in the caravan each morning. Getting out of bed was not fun. But at least it was sunny. Tuesday we went for a walk at Bedruthan steps.

Beautiful day


Cold!
Empty beach
Lots of mussels
Pretty!
 The only problem with Bedruthan steps (other than making sure you get the tides right and don't get stranded) is the steps you have to climb to get down to and then back up from the beach!
A long way up.
Steep!

Nare Head

On Monday we went to Nare Head near Carne for a walk. The weather was hit and miss but mostly dry. The walk along the coast was very pretty.

On the way back we encountered some locals. Dad made friends. Mom was not impressed.
Hello.

Getting acquainted. 

Not impressed with the paparazzi 
We went to the Nare Head hotel for a coffee. We were vastly underdressed - it was super posh. But the other cafe was shut. After a drink, we headed to the beach.

Padstow

Last week I went down to St. Issey with mom and dad. They stayed in their caravan and I rented the static for the week. I was really glad not to be in the tent this week. It was so cold! I could see my breathe every morning even in the caravan and was very happy and pleased with my new sleeping bag. The site the caravan is on is basically a field but it is so quiet and peaceful.

 We decided to take a walk around Padstow (mainly to stretch our legs but also to keep Dad awake). The weather was gorgeous. It was just a bit windy and cold.
The harbour

We went for a walk up the head land and over the hill to the lower beach.

I also started to play with the panoramic function on my phone.


Lower beach
 The beach was practically deserted though the climb down was a little tricky as the steps were still under water.

Beautiful
On the way back, I messed up my knee. :( Which is nothing abnormal. But an ice-cream helped with the pain! :) And then fish and chips at home for dinner really made everything better.
We had a lazy Sunday, with Sunday lunch at the Ring 'o' Bells pub. 

Too interested in food.
After a very nice meal (though I have been paying for eating non-gluten free all week - though the sticky-toffee pudding was very nice), we took a walk around the back lanes. Though the cows freaked me out a little. They seemed to be waiting for us. To do something!
Watching!
And some people apparently need to be told the facts of lief when in farm country.
Really?
While it is right, you can watch rabbits playing just outside the caravan (they have a sixth sense when I get my camera out and run away). And there are some very nice  sunsets. :)
