Guest Blogger 2

LiveWire3 again! Today I went Porthtowan for brunch with LiveWire 2 and my mum! We went to the Blue Bar for some delicious breakfast. It’s like a tradition whenever we come to Cornwall; we have to go to the Blue Bar or it is not a proper stay. So we did just that and it was great!

 

Just like I said, the food was delicious – as usual – and we finished it super quickly! I got a maple syrup bacon waffle, my mum got hash browns, beans and tomatoes. LiveWire2 wanted a burger but it was too early so he had to wait, although he couldn’t resist the food so he had bit of the hash browns and tomatoes. Later he got a burger and we shared the chips because how could you resist?! You may see a laptop in the backround – well that’s because my mum used the area as an office!

After, we went for a fresh walk along the sand and there were so many cute dogs. We walked close to the shore dodging the waves as they ran towards us. Weirdly, we saw lots of fish on the shore – that was a sight. We had never seen anything like this before but it was very interesting. LiveWire2 took photos of every single fish we saw – of course!

Photo by LiveWire 2 of one of the many dead fish on the beach. Not a usual ‘beautiful’ thing but my Guest Blogger is in charge tonight. We all wonder what had happened.

Mothers’ Day, Treats and Love

Our lovely kids were all in touch today with cards, calls, chocolates and photographs and an extra rather special gift:   Refuge_parcels_-_mother_s_parcel. Do click on the link to see the important work being done for women less fortunate than those in my family.

It has been another beautiful day so we popped down to Chapel Porth before the crowds! Join our walk at low tide on an almost empty beach.

I send my love to all my lovely readers, be you Mothers or not. I hope you have all had a good day.

Beach, Horses and Poor Bird

1    What a lovely day with Daughter no 3 and family visiting. Grand-baby B loved the beach…….

Look! Horses!

Look! Horses!

3     Sadly, this poor young female Bullfinch killed herself by flying into the window. Just look at the delicacy of the feathers on her back and the beauty of her tail feathers. What a remarkable little creature.

Dandelions, Porthtowan and Hot Chocolate with Ammar

1  I love the vibrant beauty of dandelions!

These were growing at the side of the beach in Porthtowan.

2   We determined to go to the beach at Porthtowan whatever the weather today and, although a bit chilly, we had lots of fun. Jake in his little wet-suit, played in the very cold water!

Tabitha loved running about on the sand

3   We followed these adventures with beautiful hot chocolates at The Blue Bar Porthtowan where we met Claire and Ammar which was rather special.

Rabbits, Tide Clock and Brass Trade

1  The rabbits in the field behind us have been running around showing their white tails as they race by – Spring is in the air here too!

Tide clock

2  Our tide clock gives us pleasure every day. We can choose if our walk will be on the beach or the cliff tops. In fact today, because of our continued work on the sun-room, we just went round the Great Flat Lode behind the house. The light was lovely.

Happy Christmas, Porthtowan and Senegal Calling

1  It wasn’t an early morning! Jake slept until 8am and then rustled and chatted while his Mum and Dad listened at the door! Jake was pleased the oats had gone.

2  After present giving , we went for a very windswept and welcome walk on Porthtowan Beach and had a late lunch. Lots of help from Lucy and her friend Mobin (who is spending today and tomorrow with us) was very welcome indeed. We used some of Mum and Dad’s Wedding present china for the bread sauce and the gravy, as we do every year, so that they are with us for Christmas dinner.

3  Daniel called from Senegal and we all spoke to him and to Ami, which was lovely.  We’ll all have to brush up our French before the wedding!
