A day of bad decisions - 3rd Dec ‘19

I think today can be put down as just one of those days...

We had a bit of a lie in not getting off the site until 12.30pm.

I’m afraid this blog is going to read like a list of bad decisions - well that’s pretty much what it was!
It started off OK going into Padstow to get some drugs and a pasty! I found a spot just north of Padstow on the map to eat them... bad decision 1, their was a big sign up encouraging cars not to go there. So we decided to go to Watergate Bay ... bad decision 2, they had closed the road and if you know that part of the world, there are no quick diversions. So we swung around to Constantine Bay - today’s only good decision. We had a really nice walk on the beach - the weather was about perfect.

We decided then to head to the Seasalt Factory Shop at Falmouth ... bad decision 3, the 1 hour journey was definitely not worth it as the selection / price was no where near as good as when we went last time! We bought nothing. Undeterred we thought we might visit a beach to gather some pebbles for Kim’s Xmas cards. I was sure that Portscatho had some pebbles - most of the beaches around here are sandy. We decided to miss out busy Truro and go via King Harry ferry ... bad decision 4, we just missed one and had to wait 20 mins for the next!

When we eventually got to Portscatho it was quite dark but whatever the light there was certainly no pebbles to be found ... bad decision 5.

We headed home stopping at a big M&S to stock up for tea. When we got back to the campsite I opened the back door and the half dozen eggs we had purchased fell out - there are now only a quarter of a dozen ... bad decision 6. As if to finish us off, the automatic number plate recognition camera on the front gate didn’t work so we had to park outside the campsite!

It turned out we had done 100 miles on our travels today and that is 100 Cornish miles which is double normal miles!!

We watched the Spielberg film, The Post. Kim stayed awake so it clearly was better received than last nights movie! We finished the day as it had run all day - a load of brown coloured water in the shower tray! We think it is coming up from the shower outlet. It may be being caused by the pitch of the van? A job for the morning.

Let’s end a fairly pooey day with a gorgeous picture...
