I was the first of the non-dog owners up this morning, and Beano was insanely excited to see me. I think he’d forgotten that we were all still there. One by one everyone got up and had the same greeting.

Bill and Madds cooked us a big group breakfast and we ate together before heading out for a walk down to the sea. It was 10 minutes down a woodland path which occasionally turned into a stream. Brown went for a swim (insanity) and Matt and Soph both had a paddle. Beano went mad digging as many holes as he possibly could, and trying to catch the sand as he kicked it.

We decided to do the “probably about an hour” walk along to Polperro for a pint. After 2 and a half hours of multiple crazy hills and endless climbing up and endless scrambling down again… we made it. The pub was full but we squished into the tiny corner of seating outside (it was freezing) to have the promised pint. Walked inland a bit towards Crumplehorn (best name) and found a pub with a fire and a couple of tables.

We decided to walk home the road route, which was much easier. Got home about 10 minutes before dark and Matt and I set about making pasta for 8. Such a lovely weekend with such lovely friends.

Heaps more (and a couple of film pics) in extras.
