Ok so it’s not technically summer yet (21st June) but for those of you experiencing nice weather, how are you enjoying it or planning to enjoy it?
Feel free to post pics as well!
Morning Azz!
We took a nice little early morning stroll to the mill pond for for a spot of magnet (dunking) fishing. It’s something we haven’t done since before COVID, now the summer is here it’s time to get involved again.
Drew a blank as far as finding anything interesting was concerned but we gave the goslings and cygnets a wave and saw a carp break surface, a very pleasant start to the day

Well it’s been sunny here over the last few days, but it had a slight cold wind with it, it’s forecast nice weather for the next couple of weeks which is handy as we go on holiday to lymington on Friday, I always feel a bit down come the 21st, as the nights start to draw in from then….!

it really was as we walked , I mentioned how quite and how nice to wild camp here , it didnt look like many had walked this way often , the foot bridges and styles were over grown .It was a new walk to us , found after the original walk had been thwarted by a car accident , right where we was going to park up was a car in the ditch and Police in attendance .
we will return to this area , to find more new Footpath signs .I enjoy finding new walks

Perraporth is where my late mother was born and bought up, still got a lot of cousins there. Little story about that holiday park. hen it was just wild sandunes right in the middle an old guy set up a small tent and nobody ever bothered him. when the authorities found out and tried to remove him he claimed squatters rights and could not be touched. Much later on although it belonged in theoy to the dutchy of Cornwall accepted a good offer from a holiday company and now a small town istherfe in the dunes
Bit more history
A small church was discovered as well near St Pirens cross now covered over due to vandels, but I had b een inside before that, one of the very few that had. It only held about 12 people but the odd thing was the alter was at the wrong end to what is accepted now.
Outside they found graves and the skeletons were tgall ,the cornish are mainly on the small side. They dated it to around 1000AD. Believe it or not but i am not lying on one of the gravestones was my mothers side family crest. Everything went to Truro museum and I did try and find out more. but as usual officialdom or ignorance stepped in and nothing was even checked

Thank you Realspeed, that’s fascinating
We’ve been going to the caravan site for over 30 years now and it’s a lovely place
I’ve been to see St Piren’s cross and the church covered in sand, very interesting to see, the oldest in Cornwall
Do you ever visit there now?
