I left the office a couple of hours early, to drive over to the Peak District for the weekend. I managed to get the tent up before the hail started!
This is where I am staying.
Diana watches this – so I recognise nothing

It was an early start today to pack up and head home.
It rained most of the night and then stopped at about 5am and started to freeze. The tents went away clean but wet, we got cold packing and almost completed the packing before the first shower came.
and then we were gone

This is our last evening at Veryan Camping and Caravan Club Site, for this trip and the weather was good enough to sit outside and have tea and biscuits.
There was also time for one more shot of a sunset over our tents.

We had a short walk around St Austell, this morning, to stock up on some supplies and to go to the bank, before heading out to the coast.
St Austell – Market House
Charlestown
This is a small port town near to St Austell where they used to ship china clay from and it is still a working harbour today. By the time Jeremy and I had finished our lunch it had started to rain – so I had to use the waterproof pouch to protect my iPhone whilst taking the pictures. The rain also shortened our planned walk.
The light was very dramatic towards the end of the day at the campsite.

Jeremy and I spent the morning in Truro – mainly in the Royal Cornwall Museum.
On the way back to the campsite we stopped at one of our favourite tea rooms – Tresillian Garden Centre. We have visited it each time we have camped at Veryan just for the Cornish Cream Tea – it cannot be beaten for quality or value. Real Cornish clotted cream and warm fruit scones and jam produced in the village. Cost £3.00 each.
Here is how to find it. It is on the right as you leave the village (before crossing the bridge), on the A390 heading for St Austell.
This was the view whilst I was drinking my tea this morning.
And the complete arch… again.
