"wish you were here!"

We stole away for a couple of hours this afternoon for a picnic on Porthcurno Beach, encouraged by some guest that had walked the coastal path a few days earlier and reported back that the beach was nearly empty....Perfect!!

And so we took one of those picnics that you remember from childhood holidays in Cornwall - crusty ham rolls laced with pickle, crumbling quiche and a Thermos of hot sweet tea and sat at the waters edge listening to the murmur of the waves playing on the silky soft sand.






The path to the cove

The life guards flags fluttered bravely against a contemplative sea and i was almost encouraged to swim............alas we had forgotten a towel but as the afternoon wore on several people were seen floating idyllically in the pure clear water.

The pod of basking sharks just under Logan's Rock made Charles's afternoon thrashing their tails in the water but too far away for our camera to capture although the seal that popped up beside us probably was .............but................by the time I had fiddle with the camera he had gone!

Still here's Ollie our basking Cat enjoying the September morning in the the Dining room door way instead - he was keeping nice and still for me and as they say on the postcards "wish you were here!" today!

Ollie sends his love!!
