. . . and we are all EXHAUSTED. This blimmin' weather means that, rather than enjoy the beach, we are dashing from pillar to post having a LOT of adventures. This being Cornwall, of course there are a lot of lovely things to do.
J and I particularly enjoyed the chance to visit Trerice again - for both of us it is the most perfect house, and we indulge in wild fantasies of what it would be like to live there. This visit I even mapped out the route the children would take to the nearest school, and d'ye know, it all looks perfectly do-able. Now all we need to do is find the £5mill MINIMUM that the NT would ask, and you can all come visit for as long as you like.
The gardens at Trevarno were pretty spectacular, particularly as Management had mapped out a canny quiz for the children, which drew them happily around a fairly long walk. (And the playground at the end was very satisfactory too.) I found the bit about how they came to do it pretty astounding too.
And what with the hotel having a small but perfectly formed indoor pool, which we have visited almost every day, and four times as many stairs as our own home, (and exactly as many lifts!) we are all plumb tuckered out by the end of the day.
And guess what? The weather looks set to brighten up the day before we leave.

Wow, your future home looks just perfect to me.
Can I have a wing of it?
I hope, you enjoy the last days of your holiday...
and send my love to Cornwall. Though we don't know each other.
Trerice looks lovely. Don't you think, though, that the NT website could do with many more pictures? If only they had beautiful buildings and landscapes to show off.... We went to a another 'small but perfectly formed' the other day: Lytes Cary Manor (www.nationaltrust.org.uk/mail/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-lytescarymanor). When you're next down we must take you there.
Never mind the weather - focus on the food!
