Day 18

Fog, forecast of storms and decision time.

Awoke to fog and the comforting sound of the lighthouse foghorn. Bliss.

On checking the forecast I discovered that storms were on the way - at their worst on Friday night through to all day Saturday. 50+ mph winds and rain. This isn't really what you want to drive home in, so took the decision to leave on Friday morning, a day early, to hopefully miss the worst of the weather.

The day, therefore turned into a day of last visit to Polpeor cafe for warm Grannies apple cake with clotted cream (seriously, if you ever get the chance to try it - do), last minute, local souvenir buying and starting the packing.

It has been a wonderful holiday and even though it is being cut short by 1 day due to the forecast of inclement weather, I still adore the place and can't wait to return.

This part of Cornwall is so natural, rugged and unspoilt. It is real. It is life. I love it and I am very grateful to have had 2 wonderful weeks here.

Day 15

22,000 steps and an interesting tour of the Lizard Lighthouse.

Began the day with a glorious walk which went further than I had anticipated, but it was such a wonderful morning to be out and about that the walk just had to be extended.

Back for breakfast and shower.

Then coastal path walk to the lighthouse - the weather had deteriorated a bit but it was still lovely. I adore the feeling of the wind in my face which is just as well as there is a lot of wind here!

The lighthouse tour was led my Emma who is so very knowledgeable - she didn't pause for breath as she told us all about the history and technical details of the lighthouse. Amazing. I learnt so much. I also discovered that this particular lighthouse isn't very high - just 2 flights of steps.

Tea break at Polpeor cafe then back via the village. A glass of wine then back to the village for some of the delicious chips to go with dinner.

The ironing had to be done - I could barely lift the pile, but it didn't take too long and I had the beautiful view of fields and the sea to look at while  I ironed. Glorious.

I was a few steps short of 20,000 (my new daily goal) so it was out again to make up the shortfall. I actually got to 22,000 steps because it seemed such a shame not to cary on walking as it was such a beautiful evening on the coastal path.

So there is is - no complaints and another wonderful day.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
