A visit to Perranuthnoe Beach



After the abysmal day yesterday that sent me scurrying to liberate the freshly laundered patchwork quilts for the bedrooms, today dawned with a perfect blue sky. Obviously a picnic was called for. Another farewell to the summer picnic of course - if you have followed the blog this week you will see we have had more that the Frank Sinatra retirement concerts but today we chose Perranuthnoe Beach just below the village. (Cheese and pickle rolls today ah hum!)




I always love the way the low earth cliffs melt into the protective pebbles of the fore shore





We chose a corner away from it all as you can see it was really crowded




a passing surfer




pretty busy in fact...............





nothing to do but watch the clouds, listen to the sea rolling in and soak up the sun




occasionally watching the beach






the low tide links Perran beach to the Trebarvah end




the sky reflecting on the wet sand




and even damp toes after walking barefoot in the fine sand along the waters edge



Perranuthnoe church against the sky




a lone canoeist




and then a local surf school came along and went through a punishing warm up routine that my yoga instructor would have been proud of. i did a quick web search if anyone is interested and found this school click here - hope it's the right one



a great vantage point the corner of a beach to watch the world go by - hope they had a great time and just time for a short nap after watching all of that exertion
