The North Cornwall Coast

Hi guys and gals Been back a couple of days, but Josh got sick again, then I got it. The second week of our trip turned out really well after the rough start on the first week. I think we accomplished what we set out to do.

On Thursday of week two, my bro in law took me and Josh, and his boy, on a trip down the northern coast of Cornwall. The day started out snowy at the farm, but turned out nice and mild by the ocean. This is one of my favourite shots of the day:



If you want to see the rest of the pics from the day, follow this link

Cheers,
Bruce

Thanks Padi. Josh is doing fine now. Not sure about myself at the moment though. Here are some sheep in the wild.

Hi Bruce,

It's great to see you back on TRF. Sorry to hear about you and Josh falling sick and all that. Hope you guys get better soon.

I don't see Padi amongst those sheep! Why?

James has suddenly turned "soft"....hence, his drop in rankings!

JJ, if James suddenly goes silent for a while, if I were you I'd be nervous that he's coming back with something bigger and better than he's shown us.

What rankings? That list has been declared null and void. Something about flipping and inconsistent, didn't you get the memo?

Nice picture Bruce.

Sorry to hear you have all been unwell, I suppose you will have to slowly build up resistance to the English weather.

Great pictures in Album as well, Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Congratulations on the photography: Adrian has a challenger! I recognise some, but by no means all, of the places - not exactly too far from our Cornish abode... Where did you get to in your travels?

Sorry to hear about Josh, but hope things are improving again.

We moved back to St. Ives last Sunday (maybe for a couple of weeks), but having said that we're with friends in Falmouth at the moment. Veronica's improving all the time, but still has much less energy and stamina than usual, so she's having to take it quite easy... though I'm still belting around, using Newquay International Airport a lot (ha! ha! ... we've always thought of it as "St Mawgan RAF base"! )

Best wishes....

I didn't have a chance to comment before, Bruce. Those are great pics. Reminds me of the week we spent touring Cornwall and Devon. The countryside was beautiful and the seacoast was quite spectacular. We made it to Land's End and could almost make out Newfoundland from there.

Hope you and Josh are back in top form by now.

Not really, I think I'll leave the landscapes to Bruce, I'll concentrate on the birds.

Nick it's good to hear Veronica is improving after her op.

You northerners, what are you like?

Veronica passes on her regards & thanks very much for the good wishes.

(She's just been told to have another 6 weeks off work - I don't know whether I can stand that!)

From the Cornwall house, we are about 15 miles from Lands End, if you take the long route! The road from St Ives, through St Just to Lands End is one of my favourite in the world... and I've tried to find a few others in my time

Living between the Isle of Wight and here (we're in Cornwall at present) is one of life's great luxuries!
