The rain has never stopped for the last few days, in stark contrast to a week earlier when we were all moaning gently about the intense heat.
We decided to go out despite the wind and rain and took a trip over to Falmouth beach about ten miles away. There is the lovely Falmouth Hotel, a comfortable non-grand family hotel. It's accessible with a wheelchair and we sat in the big room overlooking the water to have a light lunch. My husband was delighted to see that Cornish crab sandwiches were on the menu!
(Sad to say I left my camera at home so the photos are stock.)
This is how the view looks on a reasonably sunny day, framed with palm trees. There are almost always Tankers waiting off the harbour. I think Falmouth harbour is one of the deepest in the world, and we do get many large vessels coming in.
This is much how it was today, with rain running down the windows and only one lone Tanker in the harbour waters.
We feel so sorry for the many holiday makers who are camping or caravanning in Cornwall. It's wet and grey and somewhat Wintry.
We enjoyed our day out, but it's good to be home in the warm now.
