Plenty of autumn colours and a brooding sky.
Seven swans a-swimming – and before the comments are made, I know it is a duck, look over the wall!
We decide to get lunch in a cafe as the weather was showery, I had a “half” Full English and Jeremy had a pasty – I think they must have much bigger plates for the “full” breakfast. Next time I’ll order the soup with half a sandwich.
It rained hard overnight – no leaks in either tent, but lots of flapping nylon and loud, beating rain. I had tea in my tent early, as I forgot to turn off the 6.30am work alarm but by the time Jeremy was getting up the sun had come out and we had breakfast outside.

We went for a coffee and cakes – this is what Jeremy had, a hot chocolate.
We then went for a walk along the coast at Gerrans Bay, to find somewhere to have lunch.
Veryan Camping and Caravan Club Site, Cornwall – there is a small lake on the site and I was able to wall around it before the rain came. Jeremy was still in bed.

Sausage and Mash for dinner – cooked and eaten outside in brilliant sunshine – but we did need jumpers!

Today is the first day of Jeremy’s and my annual Autumn Half-term camping trip to Veryan Campsite in Cornwall.
We travelled down overnight to arrive in St Austell for breakfast. It was cold but sunny but by the time we came to walk around the town it had started to warm up.
St Austell
The campsite is quite near the coast – so when we came to put the tents up the wind had picked up a bit – but the sun was out and it was still warm!
Rather than bringing our two-person tent, we are using two one-man tents as practice for a backpacking trip we are planning for next summer. This has meant reorganising the menu to being mainly “add boiling water”, backpacking food as we have limited indoor space to cook in. In addition we are storing the food and cooking gear in the car rather than in the tent.
As it gets dark early in October (and even earlier this year as the clocks change tomorrow) we bring a small laptop PC with us which we watch DVDs on, whilst sitting in the back of the car – so not having the two-person tent living area is not such an issue in the evening.
