Inspired by what we witnessed yesterday in St Ives, we're up bright and early so we can race straight down to the beach for our pre-breakfast 'dip' in the ocean.
As we pass the entrance to the railway station a thrush is singing it's heart out.
Wow! That dip in the ocean was fantastic.
Just the thing to set us up for the drive home.
Shame we don't have any photos of us actually in the water. Oh well.
Good job there weren't any folk about to witness our achievement.
One last fuss with a passing dog on a beach.
Oyster Catcher on a mission.
Over an hour after we first passed it, the thrush is still singing its heart out.
Certainly got a lot to say.
Check out is at 11am and we depart bang on time.
The journey home normally takes 4.5 hrs but today it takes……gulp…..7.5hrs!
It takes over two hours to travel along the A30 to get to Launceston (normally, less than an hour).
Then the M5 is just as sticky. Stop-start all the way up to Bristol and it only clears a bit after the M4 junction where all the southerners turn off.
We put all this down to holiday traffic and road works but when we get home we learn that the M5 in Somerset had been closed in the morning due to ice and fog.
Hmmm, that'll be why then.
Still, rotten journey or not, nothing can spoil the memory of the best Christmas we have had for years.
