We have returned from our holiday in Pentewan Sands near St Austell in Cornwall. It rained all of one day and part of a second but otherwise it was good. I’m sure we all enjoyed it. My wife and me took our four granddaughters with us in a holiday home. A three bedroom, two bathroom place. It suited us well. All of us have a nice tan from the outdoors activities and sitting on a beach. Many boaters of varying size of boat use the site as it has its own beach a couple of hundred yards away. The launch fees must be reasonable as the boats are being launched, or towed back up the beach, all day long. Most people wear wet suits and I am considering getting one myself. We don’t have a boat but it would mean I could swim in the sea with the kids who seem oblivious to the cold water. For all the high temperatures on the beach you would expect the sea to be warm too; but it wasn’t. I paddled about but didn’t swim in it; hence, the wet suit idea. One day we did the cliff top walk from the holiday site to Mevagissey. We do it every time we visit as it is less than a two-mile walk, although with the hills and valleys it seems more like three. The views from the cliff tops are wonderful. Mevagissey is a small fishing port surrounding a double harbor. There are several small tourist shops and places to eat. We all had fish & chips sat on the harbor wall. To return home we catch a bus. It has us back there in about seven minutes.

We sent the kids ahead to check for Trolls under the bridge.
