Cape Cornwall on a sunny June day

We are having such a crazy year, so busy, and the lovely weather (up until today, which is foul!) has really helped make life easier.

I have been putting together this year's guides for the local Chamber of Commerce - one containing details of where to stay in the area and one for the shops and traders - which are just about to go for print ready for the summer. Plus we have just set up our Chamber Facebook page which you can find by taking this link.

We did manage to get out last weekend with the camera as we needed to take some photos for the leaflets. Cape Cornwall was lovely ... that's me at the bottom of the hill with Molly while Simon stood at the top and watched.

Golowan in Penzance next weekend, then Lafrowda festivities on 15th & 16th July - looks like it is going to be a packed month of fun!

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.

Cape Cornwall

At last the sun is shining in Cornwall after a week of mist, fog, drizzle and general greyness.

It is amazing how some blue sky can lift the mood. After a busy day we didn't have much time for an adventure, but you don't have to go far from St Just to appreciate what the area has to offer.

In fact, we only went down to Cape Cornwall and walked down to the right of the Cape past the ruined chapel. This view is north towards Botallack. The sea was choppy and the wind was brisk, but with the sun on our backs it was a very refreshing afternoon.

Then back home and, despite the fact that the recent wet weather had taken its toll, I managed to cut the grass in the garden for the first time this year ... surely it must be Spring soon.
