In a good way, week 2 in Cornwall heralded a change of guests, with us welcoming David & Mandy down from Yorkshire after an epic 9 hour drive. It's a bleddy long way from oop north down tut south west..<\/p>\n

Some things stayed the same – such as squeezing back into the wetsuits and heading down to the beach for a 'blow away the long drive' surf afternoon. SO much easier when wearing the little surf fins, although I did get snotted twice when off balance and some sneaky big waves whopped me from behind..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also spent time on the vast open and practically empty beaches (the joys of September) with the doggies, putting the windbreak to good use – what a top purchase that proved to be! With Scrumpy making very sure there was more sand on top of the picnic blanket than under it…<\/p>\n

And we obviously made the most of the fabulous house – very very lucky to have been staying there the past 2 weeks. Our room was the top left one – cracking views across St Enodoc golf course, right down the Damber Bay and with the benefit of great sunsets every night.<\/p>\n

All this in between being dragged up and down the local cliff top walks – no seals to be spotted this week, but did score a good ice cream, so a fair enough swap. Although that is definitely the worst pineapple on my head I think I have ever allowed to be captured on film – can't quite believe I am even sharing it here. Eek, utter hair shocker.<\/p>\n

Managed to get our asses back on our bikes for a second time – got to make it worth dragging the damn things down here – by pedalling off to Padstein again, where D&M celebrated by buying a rather nice painting. Plus pasties all round, obvs, because its the rule and you can't leave town without one.<\/p>\n

And we also rang the changes with a fairly 'non-Cornwall-y' visit to a sculpture studio where we somehow cobbled together 4 sculpture heads by the end of our 2 hours. Scrumpy almost ruined the entire thing by sneaking up the open sided basic wooden stairs (imaging a rickety barn style studio) and walking out on the flimsy plastic covering above our heads. Apparently a few weeks before a slightly larger labrador had dome the same and ripped its way right through, landing on everyone..) We were slightly offended when we asked a couple of chums on WhatsApp who had made each one, to find that people thought they were all self-portraits and that somehow the large lipped head with spear earrings, a huge facial scar, giant man ears and a fish in its gob was, by a process of exclusion, therefore me!?<\/p>\n

Said our au revoirs on Fri morning and all had a decent trip home – lovely to be back in my own bed and with a very loving Mojo busy pounding my chest, the best welcome home there is x <\/p>\n
