St Michael’s Mount

So it was SUPPOSED to chuck it down ( ☔️ ) ALL day but – after it cleared (a little) we popped on the bike early afternoon and went to explore…
The only thing (REALLY) worth a mention is St Michael’s Mount – which looked lovely (if a little misty) but was inaccessible – due to lack of booking – and also completely full car parks… So we had a very late lunch/early dinner in a pub then came back to warm up…

My Dave practised then the sax whilst I updated the blog and then we had a few drinks & a chat with Rich & his housemates – so another lovely evening 😊

Sunday Lunch & New Friends 💗

Sunday dawned just gone 5am to the sound of the cockerel 🐓 but we snuggled back down & didn’t re-surface until gone 9am…
Gutted 😐 that the WIFI didn’t let me attend online Mass 🙏 but in the end was probably just as well as we were bundled off in a Range Rover to the pub (my first since Lockdown !!!)
Table for 11, a fantastic roast dinner followed by a sit in the garden of another pub for the afternoon, sipping Thatcher’s Gold and chatting to Rich’s lovely friends…
Came back, more G & T’s in the kitchen and chatting whilst Rich magically conjured up toad-in-the-hole, chips & beans In record time !!!
A little bob in the hot tub with a glass of bubbles finished the day off nicely and was tucked up by 10pm… 😴 💤

Arrival at Penhallow House, St Newlyn East

So we arrived at St Newlyn East, Cornwall – home of Richard – about 5:30pm Saturday, had a cup of tea and then wandered around the grounds complete with hens, cockerel, summer house, Lazy Spa (blow-up hot tub like our’s), vegetable patch, water source and well – then got started on the G & T’s…

Richard had some other peeps staying, also invited some locals over and was ever “hostess-with-the-mostest” dishing up canapés, cocktails, “posh” fish/chicken and chips AND 2 desserts !!!

The conversation flowed – as did the alcohol, then came the singing and My Dave can’t remember going to bed !!!

As an aside – Louis (Richard’s 8 year old french bulldog) who seemed to be my friend – later in the evening when I tried to pick him up – decide to bite me – ouch !!!

On Us Way At Last !!!

So here we are (not on a cruise ship 🛳 to Bilbao but) on the rainy ☔️ M5 on the way to Richard’s just outside Newquay in Cornwall for a couple of days…
Stopped at the services and Dave sent me in for a Double Whopper With Cheese but I came out with a BLT from WH Smith as Burger 🍔 King was closed 😐
Got the electric bikes 🚲 AND the KTM 690 🏍 on the back so will be popping off for adventures !!!
Weather dodgy initially but should clear up for Torbay on Wednesday & the Isle of Wight the week after.
More later 💋💗
