Scribbly Cottage: December 2010
http://scribblycottage.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. Boxing Day walk to Cadgwith. Cadgwith is a picturesque fishing village nestled down at the tip of Cornwall, near the Lizard. A mecca for tourists with very un-vehicle friendly streets (unless you have a boat! We parked in the free carpark up the hill at Ruan Minor and with the dog bundled up in his new winter coat, headed off towards the steep footpath down into Cadgwith itself. It was a grey day with an icy wind to probe your unmuffled bits. Brrrr! Over the stone stile. The Or...

http://scribblycottage.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 13, 2010. International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Yes, once again, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day. On the 19th September. A chance to dress up in garb piratical, practice your "Arrrrr! S and get some serious timbers shivered. Many take the opportunity to make it a charity fund-raiser and raise funds and laughs at the same time. And if you live in Cornwall or will be there on the day, the Cornish Pirates rugby team. Sunday 3pm. You might even see a decent game of rugger!

Scribbly Cottage: February 2011
http://scribblycottage.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. We went for a nice Saturday morning stroll over Gwithian beach. The swell was heavy and waves were breaking high against the lighthouse rocks. One poor lady misjudged the waves as they broke on the beach, and got caught with her little dog! She saw the water coming too late, tried to run for it.but fell over! The 'Better Half' surveys the scene. No surfing today, me 'ansome! At least the dog's happy, snuffling and scratching in the sand. And aptly named for it's appearance.

Swellchaser: November 2011
http://swellchaser.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Surfing longboard and bellyboard in Kernow. Sunday, November 27, 2011. That was a week that was. A bit of trial at times as Sue and self tackle the sort of problems that many in these troubled financial times have to face. Many obviously way worse off than ourselves. Throw in the Pirates losing so painfully at Bristol last Sunday, and then again up at Doncaster for the first time since 2002; the combination of which does little to enhance the mood. I managed to hook up a good half dozen good lefts and a ...

Scribbly Cottage: July 2008
http://scribblycottage.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 19, 2008. Here's our sitting room before work started:. Pictures, long stored, have started to go on the walls again. It's looking more homely at last. Here's a portrait of me done in the 70's by my friend and flatmate Lynda, as part of a project when we were at art school. It's 20"x16" and it's now on show in my stairwell at home. I love it!

Scribbly Cottage: August 2010
http://scribblycottage.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Friday evening saw us at the Minack Theatre on the cliffs of Porthcurno. We were waiting to see a performance of 'Larkrise', a play based on the books 'Larkrise to Candleford' by Flora Thompson. After a wet and misty week the weather relented and gave us a warm dry evening. The performance was a sellout. We had eaten fish and chips at home so were full, but the lady sitting next to me opened a tin and took out a large Victoria sponge cake! We got offered a slice, too!

Scribbly Cottage: A Sunday Stroll
http://scribblycottage.blogspot.com/2011/01/sunday-stroll.html
Sunday, January 09, 2011. What a lovely change from the vile weather we've had of late. Almost spring-like and a perfect excuse to get out for a stroll through the Towans and down the steep path to the sands of Gwithian. Part of the old mine workings that dot the area. It was a steep scramble up here and I had to grab the dog before he launched himself over the drop onto the beach, at the top! The mouth of the tunnel/cave. Another intriguing shaft-like cave. I must try and find out about this area. View ...

Scribbly Cottage: June 2010
http://scribblycottage.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 18, 2010. I thought it was about time to christen the new bellyboard, so here I am at Gwithian, one warm summer's evening, suited up and ready. I wasn't sure what to expect; the ride was likely to be different to my floaty, foam Morey bodyboard. This chap was just checking I didn't have any pasties on me. And this one was just checking the seagull out. Hmmmmnot bad.not bad at all! Good so far, hair's still dry though; can't have that! Now if someone would just cover that pesky sun. It's almo...

Scribbly Cottage: Gwithian sunshine
http://scribblycottage.blogspot.com/2011/08/gwithian-sunshine.html
Friday, August 19, 2011. Yes, it does sometimes! This summer has been a disappointment, apart from the early bit so when the sun does come out, it's wise to make the most of it! Looking past the lifeguard hut towards St Ives. I adore these firey crocosmia, they set the hedgerows and moors ablaze! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
