Right. I thought 4 days by the beach, better pack essential beach gear.

Swimsuit - check

Sun tan lotion - check

Trashy novel - check

Unfortunately……

Porthcourno Beach - Water was about 4 degrees. So much for swimming.

As expected it was cloudy and drizzly for the first 2 days. And it was too cold to go about in a tankini. So much for a tan.

There really wasn’t much beach. Lots of cliffs and hikes up scary cliff thingys. So much for lounging around and reading my trashy jackie collins novel.

But…..it was so gorgeous that it didn’t matter. The water was crystal clear and bright torquoise.

Porthcourno Beach

Highlights :

St Ives - My brush with nature

Marazion Beach - Windsurfing. Damn difficult. Lasted about 5 minutes before I rammed into 3 other fellow windsurfers. My body aches but it was worth it!

Minnack Theatre - Open air theatre. Yes they even perform in the rain. Except if there’s lightning of course. That would just be stupid.

Land’s End - Hike from hell. Got over my fear of heights.

So how depressing was it to start work on Tuesday. Very.
