Hi Everyone
I'll tell you about part two of our holiday and hopefully won't bore you too much. We left Somerset after spending two nights there and headed down to Cornwall (so exciting!) We finally arrived in Truro at lunchtime after battling some holiday traffic. Mum had a shop visit there so us boys had to entertain ourselves for a couple of hours or so.
 |
| We managed to find a river and had our first swim of the holiday |
 |
| In Tresillian just outside Truro |
 |
| There also happened to be a pub there so everyone was happy |
 |
| We got to Mevagissey at teatime and checked into our apartment which was on top of the cliffs overlooking the sea |
 |
| Heading into town to check it out |
 |
| Can you believe that we were subjected to shopping, girlie shopping at that - just when you want to see a 'No dogs allowed' sign! That's the beauty of Cornwall, Dogs have almost equal rights |
 |
| On Sunday afternoon we went for 7 mile walk (well me and Luther did at least twice that), around the coast to Gorran Haven and back along the lanes |
 |
| There was some nice scenery along the way, if you're in to that sort of thing |
 |
| Gorran Haven beach |
 |
| Time to cool off |
 |
| Back to Mevagissey we go, along the lanes |
 |
| Portmellon 'selfie' |
 |
| We got back to Portmellon and stopped off at The Rising Sun for a drink, they only had enough money for two halves, that's after buying ice creams in Gorran Haven |
 |
| Mum wearing her new hoodie which she had brought earlier in the day |
 |
| Dinner time at the Sharksfin |
 |
| Another ice cream - just sayin' |
 |
| Luther doing his best to get in trouble! |
 |
| On board the Mevagissey to Fowey ferry - Luther's first trip on a boat |
 |
| It was a thirty minute trip along the coast |
 |
| Fowey's claim to fame is that a famous author once lived there - Daphne du Maurier. Alfred Hitchcock loosely based his film 'The Birds' on her book of the same title, I wouldn't know as I've never read a book in my life! |
 |
| They had a beer, we got water, after we had wandered around for a couple of hours |
 |
| Back on the ferry for the return trip |
 |
| We made it! |
 |
| The Kings Arms - one of their favourites |
 |
| The 'Dog friendly' Crantock beach near Newquay |
 |
| Luther loved it |
 |
| We found ourselves a tennis ball there, which was really handy |
 |
| We more or less had the beach to ourselves |
 |
| #beach |
 |
| Nice view of Mevagissey harbour |
 |
| Boys day out. We did another seven mile circular walk, this one was from Mevagissey to Pentewan and back along the cliffs |
 |
| It was quite an adventure, first we lost Luther for about ten minutes or so, he had decided to do a runner. Then we heard a car crash on that bridge, don't worry no one was hurt |
 |
| We found lot's of streams and rivers and even managed to get lost - well we didn't, it was dad! |
 |
| Luther managed to find a really boggy stream which he almost got stuck in - he's a boy! |
 |
| High above Pentewan on our way back along the cliffs |
 |
| 'F**k me Luth, it's a long way down there, no wonder we're on leads!' |
 |
| There were about 200 steps down to Portmellon Beach, these are the last few! |
 |
| Well worth it though |
 |
| I think that Luther is liking the holiday idea |
 |
| Inside The Kings Arms - again! |
 |
| Another day, another walk, this one was about six miles from St Mawes to St Just and back. Dad's getting good with his 'Map My Walk' app! - apparently! |
 |
| Hot dogs |
 |
| Bench posing |
 |
| St Just in Roseland Church. 'To many people the most beautiful churchyard on earth' according to former poet laureate Sir John Betjeman |
 |
| Nearly there |
 |
| Breakfast time in Mevagissey |
 |
| Back to Portmellon Beach for another swim, it was only about a miles walk from where we were staying |
 |
| We're 'The Boys Of Summer' - nobody on the beach. Well actually there was a f**kin' miserable Alsatian, but we ignored him - wanker! |
 |
| Look who came for a swim - the Walrus! |
 |
| Poor old Luther... |
 |
| got dunked! |
 |
| Hahaha - it didn't put him off though |
 |
| The Fountain Inn - the oldest pub in Mevagissey |
 |
| The last supper in Cornwall |
 |
More clothes shopping, hasn't she got enough already? Dad say's that he'll never understand women, what chance have we got?
'What do you think of this one boys? 'Yeah it's okay' 'Good, I'll buy it! |
 |
| The Harbour Tavern |
 |
| That is a serious piece of Cod! |
 |
| So that was Cornwall, but just before we left dad did another Park Run. This one was in the grounds of Lanhydrock House, near Bodmin |
 |
| We stopped off there on our way to Totnes in Devon, which meant the holiday was nearly over |
 |
| The Cott Inn, me and Luther quite liked it here |
 |
| Look, mum's got her new top on lol! |
 |
| Outside catering |
 |
| Our last day of the holiday before the long drive home. We went to Goodrington Sands for one final swim |
 |
| That's the 'No dogs allowed' side |
 |
| An appropriate Pokemon |
 |
| Our side - less busy |
 |
| One last 'selfie' |
 |
| After swimming we drove around the coast to Brixham |
 |
| 'The Guns of Brixham' - if you like The Clash you'll get the title |
What a great holiday that was, me and Luther were thoroughly spoilt, as we should be! I know he cannot wait to go away again, I'd like to go to France with him one day, although I don't know if we'll be allowed in there, now that we've 'Brexited'.
Who knows what the future holds?
See you next time.
Love from Rudie THE Dog xx
