How much more can it rain today!!

We are obviously paying for the few nice hot days we had last week. Today has been miserable, if this keeps up then we will all end up with web feet!

Still, knowing Cornwall, it won't last and soon we will have wonderful hot and steamy sunny days(fingers crossed). The beach will be full of families and there will be this endless stream of people going up and down the road past Perranuthnoe Village Crafts and the Craft Centre loaded with surf boards, wet suits, buckets and spades and towels not forgetting the sun cream to get a piece of the action.

Perranuthnoe beach is very good for surfing and a recent happening is that we now get bus loads (small buses) of new surfers coming with the surf school learning to surf. To me it doesn't look easy but then I have never really tried (some reference to hens/chickens here perhaps!). Often in the morning when surfing conditions are good and I am walking my dogs Layla and Sharna around the point at Perranuthnoe, there are sometimes up to 15 to 20 surfers out there enjoying themselves. Often I just stand and marvel at their tenacity and skill, they never seem to mind the cold - surfing Winter and Summer alike. What a wonderfully exhilirating pastime it is and I think that like Golf once you get the bug you are called whatever the weather.
