Just Humans Being...

We're hoping that tomorrow will run smoothly, as it's the BIG day for Sime & the band... But first we'll have several properties to clean, so the pressure is on! Today - we have worked for nearly 10 hours, yesterday was pretty much the same & it just seems that the crazy season has arrived early this year! It's been half term this week & everywhere has been packed... It seems that every journey has taken forever with all the extra vehicles around.  Our hamlet has been busy with folks staying at the camp site & hostel, lots of people stopping & looking into the house from morning until night. Families walking down to the beach early in the morning & teenagers coming up from the beach late at night. All of them making lots of noise & not giving any thought to the people whose lives they are disrupting. Even the kitties don't like the intrusion... Fleaby & Lupschki watch the road from a safe distance! There has been one consolation t

It's half term for the school children of the UK this week. This means lots of families head to Cornwall for a holiday & make lots of work for us! Of course this is great for our own holiday fund - but doesn't half interfere with our leisure time... We had an evening out in our newly opened village pub on Sunday, which was very nice (though we ended up staying much longer than planned & spending more money than we anticipated), so it was a struggle to get up yesterday - which really annoys me, because I like to be organised.  Anyway, we made up for it today - up early, got lots done & while the car was having a light fixed at the garage (which amazingly, they did free of charge - as we're regular customers!), we had time to have a cuppa at  The Eden Project Cafe , which opened in St Austell last week & is very nice - they have local vegetables for sale, a book swap scheme & a great looking menu with veggie & vegan choices too, so we were impressed!
