Just Humans Being...

Early Morning Sunshine , a photo by thesmithsontour on Flickr. The view from our dining room window this morning... Even though it's very windy & the windows are rattling... It's still a beautiful start to the day! Our glass snow flake is a permanent fixture - a friend made it some years ago & we really like it. So along with our fairy lights - it always looks like Christmas in here! We usually get a tree around the 21st, either save one which would be turned to sawdust or we'll get a potted tree, which will then live in the garden. Time for second breakfast, we do have to work today - though we're in no rush... Have a lovely weekend everyone. Kay & Sime xx

How time flies... It's almost a week since we were here... Perranporth Beach... The Watering Hole is the UK's only bar properly on a beach & The Dolphins Fly have played there! Perranporth is on the north coast of Cornwall & 25 miles away from where we live. We had dropped Hugo off at the home ed group & fancied spending the day enjoying the sun. When I heard that Perranporth beach is 3 miles long... I thought we should check it out! We had the most perfect time & the beach is amazing... Though we both agreed that neither of us would like it when it gets busy! Then it was on to Truro... This cafe has changed name so often that I can't remember it's name now... It used to be veggie & now sells meat & fish! :( But they did make a very nice vegan sweet potato, pumpkin & coconut soup. Sal & Ryan met up with us, as did our friend Jane - she had been supervising the home ed group &a

Monday's weather was really dull, but we fancied getting out in the fresh air. Last week, we saw a grey seal just outside the harbour, but the photos & video didn't come out very well. We thought we may see him again, but he was nowhere to be seen... We love this time of year - when we get places to ourselves... Yesterday, we had a full day out in the sunshine... On Perranporth Beach... And ended the day at Truro's City Of Lights... Lantern Parade & switch on of the Christmas lights. More to follow soon... Bye for now, Kay & Sime xx

We live at the top of The Roseland - a forked peninsula jutting out into the sea. It has lots of little creeks, where folks with lots of money live... This is Place House in Place... Next to Place House... From Place you can take a foot passenger ferry to St Mawes... Which one day we must do!  Instead we parked up on St Anthony Head, ate our picnic & enjoyed a fantastic walk... St Anthony's lighthouse was at the start of our walk... Views from the South West Coast Path... The sea looked gorgeous... With unspoilt beaches...  And exciting little bridges... Looking back at the lighthouse... It's hard to believe how hot it got - when it's so wet & miserable today... St Mawes Castle over the other side... We eventually went into a lovely, cool woodland... Past the bee hives... And into a church... A church which no longer has a congregation... Back into the heat... Through the overgrown churchyard... And a medieval tomb...  We were doing a circula
