We had the most glorious weather, great food, stunning scenery, beautiful beaches and there was no shortage of cider either!
Spectacular scenery at Carnewas
Bedruthan Steps. We climbed the 142 steps down to the shore, the way back
up included several stops,......... just to take in the view, you understand.
Unfit, moi ??
(This one's a favourite)
"Just try sticking a parking ticket on me mate !"
Yours truly and Chalky cycling along the Camel Trail from Wadebridge to Padstow. (Worry not dear readers, Chalky had his own trailer and this basket pose was just a photo opportunity. No dogs were confined during this cycle ride!)
A Harlyn Bay sunset
Picturesque Polperro
Chocolate box scenes.
Whilst away, I even got to see Vik, an old friend from my backpacking days whom we met in her home town of Truro, alas I forgot to take any snaps we were so engrossed in conversation. We haven't seen each other in 5 years and it was so lovely to catch up, the menfolk seemed to have plenty to chat about too fortunately!
Back to reality now and Olympic mania. I have been very cynical about the whole Olympic event, the cost to the nation, the G4S debacle etc, (why did the Government not consult me first ? When G4S had the Passenger Special Assistance contract at Gatwick they could not even deliver a doddery pensioner to a flight on time !!!) but even I had to admit, what I saw of the opening ceremony was pretty impressive. Much as I loathe Mr. Bean I thought his appearance was inspired as I believe he is known around the globe. Can't say I shall be watching any more of it though as sport interests me not.
Off to catch up with all of you now.

WOW, quite a post there Fiona :D!!! Brilliant that you had such a good holiday, you seem to have packed a lot into it and I must remember to co-ordinate my holiday times with yours in future ha ha! I have fond memories of Polperro and Cornwall in general so what a loveley reminder. Stunning photo's again, your favourite is mine too but they're all fantastic. Chris xx
ReplyDeleteYou take the most beautiful photos, Fiona, they are stunning. And YOU are stunning too, riding along on your pushbike, honey!
ReplyDeleteI hope The Man appreciates how lucky he is to be going out with a supermodel. Might he allow photos of himself on the blog at some point? Nosy? ME? Yeah, little bit!
Glad you had a great holiday and that the sun shone, but it's nice to have you back too! xxx
Those pictures should be on the Cornish Tourism website, they are gorgeous and make me want to go right now!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a wonderful time with the new man. I bet he was too distracted by your hot self to take much notice of his surroundings! xxx
Oh Fiona, how lucky you were with the weather! Paul and I had our first holiday to Cornwall, so I can imagine what the stops were for!
ReplyDeleteWe have been back time and time again with our boys but never in the sun.
The photos are stunning, Kirsty would be proud

Aaaaah! I've very much enjoyed wallowing in your gorgeous photos Fiona and there's even a Mills & Boon touch as you went away with your tall dark handsome chap (I'm making this up of course, but I hope he's lovely!) Cornwall in the sunshine is the best holiday ever. Vicky x
