Pendennis Point Falmouth
The weather was great today – we had breakfast outside, got a good days walking in on Pendennis Point, Falmouth, had a cream tea in Tresillian, sitting in their garden and ended up cooking and eating our evening meal outside. The downside to all this sunshine is that there is not a cloud in the sky as the sun is going so it looks like it will be a cold night.

A grey day in Newquay
It may have been raining but Jeremy and I had a great day in Newquay walking along the cliff tops. As with all good walking days it included an English Breakfast – this one was the “Small” from Donna’s Cafe by the station.
honestly she listed this on her menu as the “Small All Day Breakfast”

We finished off the day watching a couple videos in the car, eating salami, crackers, tinned pears, homemade Cornish chocolate fudge and drinking Chai tea – but not all at once.

Falmouth… later
The rain did easy up, so we went for a shorter walk than we planned around to town and harbour, which did include sitting by the harbour eating a Cornish Pasty.
Door Hinge
This is the door of some new clients we have at Octagon – their office is a converted church.
Peak District
As the weather was not great, rather than walk in the hills we thought we would go to Bakewell and follow a short section of a walk Diana had sent me. She had watched a television program where Tony Robinson had been walking in the Peak District and exploring the history of the area. Diana had sent me a PDF, she had got from the show website – so we had a plan.
First stop was Bakewell.
We fled from the tourists and walked up to All Saints Church – where we had an excellent tea and home made cake. (Well Richard had coffee!)
Ratatosk – from the Anglo-Saxon Cross in the churchyard.
Then we moved onto Ashford-in-the-Water – where like Branston there is a Sheepwash.
Sheepwash Bridge
Following lunch by the river we walked up to the Magpie Mine – but using mainly footpaths rather than the suggested road route.

Back at the campsite the evening was nice enough to cook and eat outside.
