Time for a break … part3.

…… These posts seem to take more time to appear as each one progresses and this is only the third one (and may indeed be the last!)

At the end of my last musing The Fellowship had just completed a little walk by the coast and although we were still talking we had difficulty walking. So after a lingering breakfast we decided that we should see as much of Cornwall… by car. So we set off for west Cornwall to Land’s End and then work our way back up the south coast.

Yet again the weather was beautiful: bright sunshine, warm and hardly a cloud; the sea was clear blue, and the tat emporiums were still flogging their rubbish (Callestick ice cream excepted). We wondered around the cliff edges and sat enjoying the weather - and then waited for Ruth to stop ‘Blue Screening’.

This was the first of several occasions when Ruth would be found staring, usually out to sea, and imitating a computer ‘Blue Screening’.

Having re-booted Ruth we headed off to Mount’s Bay, where we had a nice walk in the water and then drove to Lizard Point.

… not sure what Ruth and The Hobbit are up to here ;-)
Look at this

The following day was again glorious and we decided that we would head out for the Eden Project, I have visited Eden several times now and have never been bored. Here are a few pictures of our time, others may eventually make it to my Flickr album.

After Eden we went to visit my sister and her four kids. This involved a lot of exercise and spinning around. The Green Man proved popular when it came to spinning nephews around.

Suddenly we hit Thursday and where had our week gone? After an indecisive start to the day we headed to The Monkey Sanctuary to say hello to Two Shed’s adopted monkey Frosty.

Frosty didn’t want to sit for the camera very much, so here one who did:

We left the Sanctuary for a visit to Polperro, a lovely fishing village with very narrow streets, we also had a lardy cream tea in a little tea shop (okay here?)

Our final full day in Newquay dawned bright and early. The main event day had arrived, so we took it easy and stayed in Newquay. A session of cricket on Fistral beach, a wonder through the many tat emporiums in Newquay and then readied ourselves for the bale-push … which will have to wait for part 4. However, here is a taster of the “action”
Faster than a speeding bullet?
