Our swimming pool changing rooms are undergoing a complete makeover. No… we didn’t get in Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, but we are rather pleased with the plans for our larger changing areas with more showers, and baby changing facilities in both male and female changing rooms. The work started on Jan 3rd and will be completed at […]

Today we went to Tintagel to see the castle where King Arthur allegedly lived. Before starting the climb up  we stopped off at the beach to admire the foaming sea, peek in Merlin’s cave and look at a waterfall! On top of the cliff we explored the remains of the castle which included a ladies garden, […]

Roger found a leaflet about Clovelly in the Information Folder left for us in the cottage. We thought it looked interesting and so headed off to find out more. We arrived at the visitors centre and were nearly blown over getting out of the car. I was worried that Jack would be cold in the shorts he’d […]

The journey back was pretty straightforward with a stop at the services and we seemed to be home in no time. It seems we’ve brought back a few souvenirs; a postcard for Jack’s geography homework, pebbles from the beach and a lot of sand in our wellies! The next day we discovered that we had […]

For the first time the weather really didn’t look good so we decided a museum might be a good idea so with that in mind we headed for the Maritime Museum in Falmouth. When we arrived everyone was quite hungry so we decided to try The Shack on Discovery Quay. What a great place! I had moules […]

Ever since we’d arrived Jack and I had been anxious to go rock-pooling but either the tide was in, it was too windy or we’d forgotten our nets! Anyway this morning we were determined to get started so headed for Widemouth. We saw some surfers including a kite surfer bobbing about in the waves and I […]

After a leisurely breakfast we actually made it out of the cottage before 10.30am! We decided to go back to somewhere we’d just driven through the night before, Crackington Haven. On the beach the wind was so strong that Jack could almost lean into it and be held up! The tide was starting to come in and […]

After a great nights sleep and lie in, thanks to the blackout curtains, we woke up to what looked like it might be reasonable day weather wise. As we’d followed the instructions about the storage heaters the cottage was toasty warm and over breakfast we talked about plans for the day. We headed for Crooklets beach (Jack’s […]
