Wildlife




We saw Stan staring out the window yesterday evening - and this is what he was watching.
Simon managed to snap what he thinks is a horseshoe bat in flight by just standing at the back door - not something we will do very often as taking an odd picture of a bat with a flash is okay, but the last thing we want to do is disturb their flight patterns as we get a great display of bats swooping around the garden each evening.

Godrevy



Back to Godrevy again at the weekend on our travels - what a lovely day.

Clear blue skies, so being a Sunday, it was packed with people enjoying the gorgeous weather. However, as you can see from these pictures, packed means gallons of sea and yards of sand for everyone!

This view is looking back towards Hayle at the golden sands and surf that stretch right round the bay towards Lelant and St Ives.

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.
