Winter Walk at Sennen Cove

To show you how lovely West Cornwall can be at any time of year, here is a simple walk along the beach in November - that's me with Molly our bearded collie / poodle cross.

A Stormy Sky in Sennen

I am not sure what the half-term weeks holds for our holiday-makers down here. The forecast is mixed but it should be exciting on the coast with the winds that are predicted whipping up the sea over the weekend.

We made a quick visit down to Sennen today to drop off some glass at the Roundhouse gallery. You could see right out to the Scillies in the distance from the top of the hill, but the storm clouds were gathering.

Good to see all the shops and cafes open in Sennen and hope for a busy and profitable week for us all.

Is this really April?

Well it certainly seemed like Summer yesterday. I saw surf-boards, ice creams and shorts on the beach and it is only just April.

We popped down to Sennen Cove to drop off some glass at the Roundhouse Gallery, and ended up staying for a while including a coffee and a shared pizza at The Beach cafe.

What lovely weather, and so nice to have some evenings to enjoy the garden.

What a busy summer we have had. Finally things are starting to calm down and we are getting a few chances to enjoy the beautiful weather.

While Simon was dropping off some of our glass to the Roundhouse gallery in Sennen, I took the opportunity to take a few snaps of the wonderfully clear view to Cape Cornwall. There are still plenty of people around, and amazing to have it so warm and clear in October, I almost wanted to have a paddle!

Sennen Cove

What a glorious day. The cold wind has finally dropped and the sky and sea were very blue, so we stopped off for a coffee at The Beach Restaurant and listened to the waves lapping on the shore. It is a lovely place to sit and pass the afternoon. We didn't get a chance to have one today, but we both love the pizzas there which are thin and crispy and very tasty.

Unfortunately Simon and I couldn't stay for long. We were busy visiting businesses in Sennen to round up members for the local Chamber of Commerce who are producing a leaflet about the shops, arts & crafts, activities, services and eating & drinking in the St Just and Land's End area. It is taking up a lot of our time at the moment, but it will be worth it to show people, visitors and locals alike, what this lovely area has to offer.

Our guests in the holiday cottage this week have never even been to Cornwall before, but they are already asking about booking for next year.

Once you find the St Just area, it seems you can't keep away.

Sennen Cove

What a beautiful day in Sennen Cove today.

The sun was shining, the waves were gently rolling in from the Atlantic and to make the day perfect we were delighted to find that the chip shop was open so we could stroll along with a sunday lunch of sausage and chips!

If you haven't been to Sennen Cove before, it is a couple of miles from St Just and quite close to Land's End.

As you can see it has glorious golden sands, with good waves for surfing or swimming, gift shops including The Roundhouse which sells local arts and crafts, food and drinks from The Beach Cafe and the Blue Lagoon chip shop.

Dogs are allowed on all the beach in the winter, and in the season you can take dogs on any part of the beach early morning and evening, or to Gwenver beach (in the background on the video) during the daytime.
