Back from Cornwall

We’re back from our week in Cornwall, where, surprise, surprise, the weather was warm and sunny – on the whole. On the day we visited the seal sanctuary, we had lunch al fresco and one guy was sat there in short sleeves. We all had thick sweaters, but nonetheless, we were outside.

The seal sanctuary was brilliant. We arrived at feeding time for the otters, so were there for a talk on them and watching them being fed. Also saw feeding time in the convalescent pool – seals are rescued from all round the coast, usually start in the seal hospital, then are gradually transferred through gentle stages until they are well enough for the convalescent pool. After that it’s back to the sea. Bought our little granddaughter a cute furry handbag in the shape of a baby seal.

We had a great time with our friends, and are going to Portugal with them next March. Lots of fun and laughter, good food and good wine, and I’m trying not to stand on the scales just yet.
