| 11:18:48 The grown-ups out on the terrace, taken from mine and Chie's bedroom window. | 11:19:09 | 11:19:18 |
|
|
|
| 11:54:12 This is in Veryan - these round houses were built with no corners, to ward off evil spirits. | 11:54:41 | 11:55:04 Shame about that car! |
|
|
|
| 11:55:33 Managed to hide the car behind some foliage here. | 12:11:36 This is Portloe, which was rather charming. | 12:11:55 |
|
|
|
| 12:12:02 Up on the cliffs above Portloe. | 12:12:56 | 12:13:33 Lovely sea views here. |
|
|
|
| 12:14:14 Presumably this is a sewage pipe - is that where Portloo gets its name from? | 12:14:22 Lovely blue sea and sky! | 12:14:50 |
|

| 12:16:42 | 12:18:27 | 12:20:45 |

| 12:20:56 | 12:22:26 | 12:22:43 |
|
|
|
| 12:34:21 Out on the terrace of the Lugger Hotel in Portloe. | 12:34:32 A lovely spot, but the staff were pretty incompetent here - they forgot our order, and it took around an hour to come in the end. | 12:48:24 The fishing boats you can see from the terrace of the lugger. |
|
|
|
| 12:50:24 | 14:47:44 Our next brief stopping off point after Portloe - Hemmick beach? | 14:47:59 |
|
|
|
| 14:49:39 | 14:49:50 | 14:51:26 |
|
|
|
| 14:53:32 | 15:03:12 Taken from the rather lovely little stretch of gated road near to Gorran Haven. | 15:03:24 |
|
|
|
| 15:03:31 | 15:03:47 | 15:05:43 |
|
|
|
| 15:06:38 We seem to be leaning over at an improbably angle here! | 15:07:08 | 15:09:20 I rather like this picture - a bit like a car advert. |
|
|
|
| 15:28:04 This is Gorran Haven now. | 15:28:14 | 15:29:06 |
|
|
|
| 15:29:48 | 15:29:52 | 15:33:23 |

| 15:34:00 | 15:34:08 | 15:38:40 |
|
|
|
| 15:39:28 ...this chap was taking his role as guard dog very seriously! | 15:39:41 | 15:40:31 |
|
|
|
| 16:04:54 I spotted Polmassick on the map, and was determined to pass through - I had once put a finger on a map to find a name for a new Meaning of Liff term - see here. | 16:12:58 Erm, the sign at the other end of Polmassick (we stopped off inbetween to visit the vineyard and buy a bottle of wine). | 17:00:08 Back at the house, lovely sun glinting off the sea. |
|
|
|
| 17:03:49 Chie in front of the house. | 17:13:00 Lovely weather for a bit of a loll about on the lawn. | 18:25:11 Everybody out on the terrace for a glass of Pimm's! |
|
|
|
| 18:50:38 It was my turn to cook dinner tonight, so here I am beavering away in the kitchen. | 18:50:46 Halloumi grilling... | 18:50:55 |
|
|
|
| 19:05:33 | 19:05:40 | 19:11:19 |
|
|
|
| 19:11:34 Dinner is served! With a bottle of good old Veuve Cliquot. | 19:11:36 | 19:11:57 |
|
|
|
| 19:12:02 Chloe waits patiently for bits to fall on the floor. | 19:12:04 | 20:28:05 The Polmassic wine, out on the terrace. |
|
|
|
| 20:29:39 Quite a nice sky this evening. | 20:31:18 | 20:38:51 |
|
|
|
| 20:38:57 | 20:39:06 | 20:39:54 |
|
|
|
| 20:40:00 Rather fond of this one. | 20:45:52 | 20:45:58 |
