Sorry for my absence of late dear friends, but in early January I moved into a new home which as yet does not have a phone line connected, and hence no internet either. I can only read emails and post on my blog when staying with J, and this is my first trip up to Calstock since moving. My new home is on a working farm only 5 minutes drive from Portscatho, on the Roseland peninsula of Cornwall. I have never lived this close to the sea before, and I can walk to the nearest beach, Pendower, in about 12 minutes.......first I cross the busy main road, then a couple of stiles through two fields of sheep (the sight of two new-born lambs last week brought a smile to my face), and then this view of Pendower opens up before you.....ah such a glorious vista!
Steep steps take you down to the beach itself, and at low tide there is about half a mile of sand to walk along.....
I can walk here every day if I choose to......how lucky am I? (I still have to pinch myself every time I see that view of the bay)
Happy days of beach combing and swimming await.....

It's absolutely stunning, I'm so happy for you. I would love to live so near to such a beautiful stretch of coast, you are very lucky. I do hope you are very happy in your new home.
ReplyDeleteOh this does my heart good, I grew up in Cornwall, though not so close to the sea! Happy new home
ReplyDeleteWishing you every happiness in your new (perfectly you!) home, Christine...May you spend many happy years there with much beach-combing! :)
