Cornwall Summer 2008

|
| 09:44:55 In the morning, the view from Bar Point (our house for the week) - it had definitely cleared up a bit since yesterday. | 09:44:59 | 09:45:03 |
|
|
|
| 09:45:22 The house again. | 09:46:57 ....one of the fantastic things about the house is that there's a beach at the bottom of the garden! | 09:47:16 |
|
|
|
| 10:58:10 ...plus they also have wi-fi there, so I could browse the internet out on the terrace with my morning cup of tea, whilst overlooking the sea. | 10:58:34 Chie enjoying the sea air. | 11:19:44 We also took the opportunity to call (via Skype) Chie's parents - superb as it meant we could use the built in camera in my MacBook, and share the view with them. |
|
|
|
| 11:29:47 The view from the front of the house again - even brighter now. | 11:38:07 | 11:42:43 Chie enjoying our own private beach! |
|
|
|
| 11:42:55 | 11:50:38 | 11:51:03 |
|
|
|
| 12:07:42 We went for a little walk along the coast from the house, I rather liked this collection of buoys. | 12:12:19 This here is St. Just church, which is situated in a rather fabulous spot. | 12:12:29 Some nice old boats. |
|
|
|
| 12:14:01 | 12:14:13 The church up close. | 12:14:25 Nice boat house here. |
|
|
|
| 12:15:15 Me and Chie on the little jetty. | 12:15:52 Can just about see the church on the left hand side here. | 12:16:30 |
|
|
|
| 12:16:45 Robin looking quite nautical. | 12:17:22 Rather like this one of the old boat and the church, with the lagoon in between. You could be in the Caribbean... | 12:17:31 ...and the same again in portrait. |
|
|
|
| 12:19:54 Some bricks on the beach. Was trying to be arty. | 12:25:03 Robin and Chie in front of St. Just church. | 12:25:34 |
|
|
|
| 12:25:50 | 12:26:08 | 12:27:21 |
|
|
|
| 12:28:53 Interesting moss by the side of the church here. | 12:29:19 | 12:29:59 |
|
|
|
| 12:31:35 Chie and the holy well. | 12:31:42 | 12:32:57 Another view of the church from the other side of the bay. |
|
|
|
| 12:36:41 Robin and me hacking our way through the jungle. | 12:37:15 This appeared to be another well. | 12:38:16 I'm likin' this lichen. |
|
|
|
| 12:38:45 Palm trees. | 12:39:42 The gate to the churchyard. | 12:40:03 Quite a famous view here (the church seen through this gate, with the water behind) although I'm not sure I caught it quite right. |
|
|
|
| 13:23:34 In St. Mawes now, some rather charming petrol pumps. | 13:28:42 Chie waiting for chips at the takeaway in St. Mawes. | 13:39:24 Rather like this picture - Ian, Louise and Vera on the harbour steps. |
|
|
|
| 13:40:56 Chie on the steps. | 13:48:43 This seagull was keeping a close eye on us as we ate our chips. | 13:53:07 |
|
|
|
| 14:52:22 In the field below St. Mawes castle - Robin dropped us off here so we could walk back to the house. | 14:52:35 | 14:52:46 |
|
|
|
| 14:53:46 Bit of St. Mawes castle. | 14:54:01 | 15:02:15 Lovely fields by the sea on the way back from St. Mawes. |
|
|
|
| 15:02:25 | 15:09:51 | 15:23:13 We dropped down and walked along the shore for a bit. |
|
|
|
| 15:28:14 ...although this was quite difficult in places! | 15:39:18 | 15:44:29 |
|
|
|
| 15:53:22 The steps leading up to Bar Point from the beach. | 16:35:52 As we'd had a bit of a warm spell towards the end of the afternoon, I rather foolishly thought I'd give the water a go. | 16:35:59 It was bloody freezing! |
|
|
|
| 16:36:10 | 16:36:24 | 16:36:35 |
|
|
|
| 16:38:38 Yes, I was in the sea for the sum total of about 3 minutes. | 16:38:48 | 16:38:58 |
|
|
|
| 16:43:08 ...back to the house for a hot shower! | 17:15:51 Later on, watching from the terrace as the early evening sun glinted off the sea among the yachts. | 17:16:58 Chloe - Louise and Ian's dog. |
|
|
|
| 17:17:23 | 17:20:23 The yachts again. | 17:49:54 When in Cornwall it is of course mandatory to drink scrumpy (although I note this one is actually from Somerset!). |
|
|
|
| 18:12:16 Chie in the garden - all looking very summery! | 18:12:53 Some very small apples on the trees already. | 18:13:02 Scrumpy! |
|
|
|
| 18:13:48 Gooseberries. | 19:16:55 More views out from the terrace as the evening wore on... | 19:17:41 |
|
|
|
| 20:42:27 Louise's excellent pavlova... | 21:16:18 | 22:19:21 |
|
|
|
| 22:19:48 | 22:21:18 | 22:22:11 |
