Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...

We have just spent the most delightful long weekend at the cottage in Cornwall. I say "The Cottage" as though it belongs to us, when that is in no way true. It's just that I'm used to the fact that it generally no longer requires explanation when I tell most people that we're going there; it needs no introduction after so many wonderful, sunset-enveloped, woodfire-burning, cornish food-centred weekends spent there with our fabulous surrogate sisters, Amy and Helen! We always come away feeling so blessed to have had the opportunity to spend time chilling out there and soaking up the gorgeous local coastline and cuisine (whatever the season), let alone to be so spoiled and looked after by such precious friends.

I think my guestbook entry for the stay sums it up nicely so if you can squint enough to read it, enjoy. And FYI, I don't really think the wheat-free thing is silly, I just felt silly being wheat-free in Cornwall. If that makes any sense! ;)

You'll see I refer to a coast guard's tower in the third page - more on that in another blog post, another day. It refers to my ongoing desire for healing from M.E (Tenuous link? Perhaps!) and something really wonderful dawned on me that day as I collapsed on the bench on halfway along a cliff path in Boscastle, after the others had carried me up it! Watch this space (or the space above this post actually, where the new post will appear soon!) for me to make more sense of what I've just said.... I know it's just waffle right now! Suffice it to say, we defied the apparent limitations of the Boscastle cliff walk and in doing so, opened my eyes and mind to new possibilities... A wonderful weekend had by all.
