Hi everyone
Imagine my delight when I found out that we were going to Cornwall for a week in March, I know it's a long way from where we live but I'm happy to chill out in the back of the car.
 |
| We left home at 5am to beat the M25 traffic |
 |
| Breakfast time at Fleet services |
 |
| Cor I like it here, this is the view from our apartment in St Ives |
 |
| Oi enough posing let me get in the sea! |
 |
| The great thing about Cornwall in March is that there's not many tourists and no dog bans on the beaches - heaven |
 |
| It was a blowy ol' day on Saturday - look at our ears! |
 |
| We drove down to Lands End to see Luke from the gym complete his challenge of cycling, running and kayaking from John O' Groats |
 |
| Blimey it's nearly 900 miles |
 |
| Next stop the USA, don't think I'll ever get there |
 |
| Here he is after two weeks of effort I think he might be fitter than me! |
 |
| It was nice to go to Lands End but I didn't get a swim |
 |
| A wet Sunday morning in St Ives |
 |
| who cares |
 |
| Siesta |
 |
| This'll make you laugh, the sun came out in the afternoon so we decided to go back down to the beach, as we stood by the gate dad took a photo from across the road. All of a sudden mum screamed out, I had pissed up her leg - I thought it was the gate post 😂😂 |
 |
| She's gone in to get changed |
 |
| All's well that ends well |
 |
| A drizzly Monday morning |
 |
| We went for a six mile walk along the coast from St Ives to Zennor Head |
 |
| We got the bus back to St Ives |
 |
| Almost another day without a swim luckily we went for a dip when we got back to St Ives! |
 |
| Tuesday was a better day weather wise |
 |
| Blue skies and sunshine |
 |
| We caught a train from St Ives to Lelant Saltings five miles along the coast |
 |
| Captain Pugwash! |
 |
| That was my first ever train ride |
 |
| And then we walked back to St Ives |
 |
| Blimey that's close |
 |
| We f**kin' love it |
 |
| Oh so Luther put a photo on instagram! |
 |
| That was a bit of a climb |
 |
| Nice view though |
 |
| Heading towards Carbis Bay |
 |
| Luther checkin' out Porthgwidden Beach in St Ives |
 |
| Don't worry mum I'm not going to piss on you! |
 |
| Sunny selfie |
 |
| Another day another walk |
 |
| This one was a circular one around Godrevy Lighthouse and Mutton Cove |
 |
| You can see St Ives behind us |
 |
| Look at all of those seals on the beach at Mutton Cove |
 |
| What better way to end a walk |
 |
| Thursday started out a bit wet, we caught the train from St Ives to Penzance |
 |
| Welcome to Penzance. This train malarky is so exciting we had to change trains at St Erth to get here |
 |
| We were walking from Penzance to St Michaels Mount and back |
 |
| There it is. St Michael's Mount, just visible through the cloud, it's a small island opposite Marizon |
 |
| Right let's go take a look |
 |
| You can walk across on the causeway when the tide is low |
 |
| We made it |
 |
| There's the harbour |
 |
| Let's hope we can get back! |
 |
| We made a new friend - he's a big mofo! |
 |
| We got off safely, you can see the tide starting to cut the island off |
 |
| Time to go home - look at that for a train! It goes from Penzance to London, takes about six hours and can do 140 miles per hour! |
 |
| Lol we got on it for eight minutes, one stop to St Erth |
 |
| Back in St Ives, I'm starting to like train travel! |
So that was the end of our time in Cornwall but the good news is that they didn't want to go home on Friday and decided that we could stay for a night in Devon, in a place called Beer! really?
 |
| I kid you not |
 |
| Young, free and shingle |
 |
| We went for a walk along the coast to Seaton in the afternoon |
 |
| Meanwhile back in Beer. Mmmmm that's not very friendly (the sign in the window saying 'Do not let your dogs mark or urinate here'). You know what I was tempted to do? |
 |
| Once last swim on Saturday morning before going home |
 |
| How many of you would like to swim in beer? |
Well that holiday certainly lived up to expectations, mum loves Cornwall and I love mum, let's hope that she wants to go back there soon - as long as it's not by train without me an' Luth.
Catch up soon.
Lots of love from Rudie THE Dog xx
