Sun day update, the sun came out and we wandered in the St Gothian Nature Reserve.

The sea was beautiful, but didn’t call us fearful of a sandy bed on our return. Beaches with fine sand are for the last day of a mini-break when we don’t have to sleep on a bed that furry paws  have embellished with sand.

Tramping about on sand dunes does not seem to have the same effect.

On our return we found a very cosy church, filled with colour.

And a grave that celebrated the life of the archaeologist who researched the extensive history of humans in this magical part of  Cornwall.

Unusually his wife, a prolific writer is commemorated on the edges of his grave.

My Sunday, sun day update.

P s Her books look worth a read.

Thank goodness for a photo archive. We are off for our annual end of the summer weekend in the campervan. The good weather however has not come with us. Just one good photo from our evening walk.

One good photo.

Photos aside we had a great long coastal walk exploring all the old  tiny bungalow and chalet lanes where pre and post war dwellings are being turned into minimalist architects holiday aspirations. In accordance with the end of the season. All cafes closed at 4pm. We set off at 4:30 and by 7:30 when we returned we were wearily in need of a cup of tea and a wee.Triumphant though because we had managed to stay one foot ahead of ominous rain clouds that hovered just across the bay.

2023

Nobody needs to see those rain clouds so the same bay from 2023 will bring much better quality joy. Although the National Trust does use a photo that I could have taken today to advertise the area.

Possibly the most prolonged and windiest nights of our camping  career brought the rain, eventually, to our sliding, campervan door. Today may be a book day.
