Fun in the sun


Been busy this week so not had time to sit down and do this before now, we have been living here for five weeks here now and so far everything’s going well, the boys are loving their new schools and my husband has been working for two weeks now, and is settling in no problem, as for myself I start work this week.

This weekend because the weather has been so good we decided to go away for the weekend in our VW Camper (Rupert). We travelled about 25 miles to  Fowey and stayed at the Penhale campsite.

Saturday morning we went into Fowey and had a walk around the harbour, we chose a restaurant and treated ourselves to moules and frites for lunch followed by Ice-creams.

Fowey was lovely, everything you would expect from a Cornish seaside town with quaint, narrow streets and plenty of gift shops and places to eat.

One pleasant surprise was the www.upton-house.com B&B with a pink exterior and a shop on the ground floor with an entrance guarded by two pink flamingos.  The B&B and shop has a unique air of 1940’s Hollywood glamour,the shop is apparently  a showcase for the owners Angelique's interiors business.
Back at the campsite we took a ten minute walk to Polkerris beach where we all took a dip in the sea.  Brave or foolish?  Not quite sure as the water was freezing despite the day being so hot.

Once dry we went back to the camper for a BBQ tea. We ended the evening with an impromptu thunder storm with some spectacular lightening.
