Do The

Strand.

We visited Trebarwith Strand today in preference to Port Isaac which was bursting at the seams.

This after visiting a chap near Tintagel who owns the Pixie House and sells all sorts of rubbish bric a brac. Anyway, it turns out he's a full blown conspiracy theorist and he's being driven out by developers after his land for development. He regaled us with tales about how he saved Kate Winslet from buying a £700k house there and also dobbed in the local slaughter house for illegal tipping of offal.

This guy is not only a millionaire but also a guardian of our morals and we should all rest easy knowing he is out there looking after the good. Well, by that I mean it was worth 30 quid to get out of there alive. We picked up a gnome riding a tortoise, a kingfisher water feature and best of all, Toad of Toad Hall in a rowing boat! These will no doubt feature in or around the pond.

Jayne loved making me squirm by engaging the nutter eccentric bloke in conversation.

So at the beach I tried to get action shots of the surfers and bodyboarders. I also practiced the milky water shots I love when other more talented blippers post them. This us the best of a bad bunch. I need more darkness on the ND grad maybe.
