Trebarwith Strand

We had the pleasure of meeting a blog friend & her family yesterday...
We suggested we met up at Trebarwith Strand, a tiny seaside hamlet close to Tintagel.

It rained heavily the whole time & the stream flowing into the sea was in spate...

And more like white rapids!

We had found this place on t'internet & thought it sounded nice.
We spent 3 hours chatting non-stop & the food was ok, but I was disappointed that they say on their website that the bread is home made, but it didn't seem it to us...

Being the greedy guts of the group - Sime & I had cashew nut & celery soup to start, then we had nut burgers - which were quite tasty (but the cheap white rolls were awful)!
The cafe owner was a bit loud & abrupt, he also made a little joke about us staying for so long...
Anyway, we were so busy chatting that we forgot to photograph the food, but nevermind...

It could have been better, so we're not going to give them a plug!

So who did we meet?

J, KL & Scarlet...  

Scarlet was everything we imagined - lovely, friendly, warm & northern! 
(We miss hearing northern accents down here, so that was a real treat)

Although Scarlet's blog is more about living frugally & renovating her home on a budget - which looks great!
I feel we have connected because of our poor treatment from the NHS... We also discovered that we both decided to research our (different) conditions, become experts & have made or are beginning to make changes to our lives - for the better!

Scarlet & J share a real bond...
They are very warm & gentle with each other & their daughter, KL
(who, by the way - is gorgeous)!

We are very happy to have met them all (though 3 hours just wasn't enough) & hope we get to see them again soon.

We have more guests arriving this evening from The Netherlands, so the birthday boy is pottering about!

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Kay & Sime

You've made me a little teary - in a good way. We had a fab time too and we hope to see you again next week- 3 hours just wasn't long enough!
Hi Jane, It's great fun meeting up with blog friends... With Scarlet we get to do it all again next week - yay!

Sorry! Enjoy your last night... Hope it's dry for the big pack up in the morning - think you'll love Mullion & at least you'll be dry!

See you next week.

K&S :)

How lovely to meet up with blog friends. I would love to have a big party where we could all get together and meet in person, wouldn't that be fun (and exhausting- imagine all the chatter!).

How fun to meet up with blog friends! It makes the world a little smaller of a place doesn't it? Wonderful!
Wishing you and your sweetie a lovely week Kay!

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b

Our Neighbours

The ladies next door have been giving birth in the field. Their babies are like any other babies - they sleep, they feed, they follow their mums everywhere, they run around, then fall asleep again.  These little beauties are completely unaware of their fate... But we know... And this is one thing which makes living here difficult. How can people eat other beings without feeling terrible?     It just doesn't make sense. Both the posters are from the  Cornwall Vegans  website. If you are in Cornwall or will be on Saturday 22nd April - do support this event! Perhaps you have been considering veganism - this  Vegan Starter Kit  will help you to get started and if you have any questions, need help or ideas for recipes - just ask, we are always happy to talk to folks who want to change their diet for the better. And in case you haven't seen this on iplayer - Here is  Simon Amstell's Carnage . Please, please think seriousl

Spring Forward

We are gradually coming out of our winter hibernation and two weeks of pet sitting on The Roseland in Cornwall has been a wonderful way to slowly "wake up" and enjoy being with one of our favourite furry chums. We are all enjoying being outside more and after 5 years of caring for our little pal - we have finally made progress with her ability to listen, focus and follow commands! She has always been a delight to be with, but her excitable behaviour tends to get out of control...perhaps she is calming down as she gets older or maybe we are more relaxed around her. We have certainly felt our bond with her has strengthened over the last two weeks and in turn she is eager to please. She can now have time off her lead and is thoroughly enjoying beach play time, with excellent recall.  We had almost given up on the idea that Mabel could enjoy such freedom, so it is a joy to us all! We do hope that she will continue with her Mum, but are confident that we will slip back into our ne
