It wasn't the greatest day of weather. It rained in the morning but as lunchtime approached the lure of another Philps pasty was too strong to resist. What a good business.....there was a queue of customers outside the shop. We ate our pasties on the harbour area.
We continued to do a little bit of shopping at M&S and Lidl before cycling back. Whilst at M&S we bought the meal for two for £10, including a meat main course, vegetable, dessert and a bottle of wine. You can't beat it. We had to choose things that could either be fried or microwaved because we don't have an ordinary oven. Our main choice was Cajun chicken for 6 people and as I tend to eat for the equivalent of three people it would be enough!
In the afternoon we did a coastal walk up to Godrevy Point where we saw some common seals and some grey seals. We had a long chat with a German man and his family who are on holidays near Newquay. He spoke very good English and was very enthusiastic about England and how beautiful it was. I didn't send him to Camborne to change his mind!
We also saw a curlew....that's another bird spotted.
We had a quiet evening in the van, Janice was doing her crochet and I practiced the violin whilst wearing my smoking jacket and monocle! I don't know why people don't believe a word I write?
Sunday 22nd May 2016 - Hayle.
What an unexpected but gorgeous day. It was sunny and blue skies all day, with a cool breeze.
Same again...we cycled into St Ives. Our visit on Thursday was dull and damp so we gave the town a chance to show itself in a more flattering light. We had made a picnic and walked through the town, the harbour and along the coast in a much more relaxed way.
We were even brave enough to have a paddle although many hardy souls were surfing and body boarding.
St Ives was unbelievable......
We had our picnic in a sheltered spot on the harbour and we had a little sun bathe on the beach.
