threadsnshreds: Cornish holiday part 1

We are very fortunate, that my Dad lives in a very picturesque fishing village, in the south of Cornwall. This guarentees that we have a great holiday destination each year to go to, and there's always new things to see, and we never tire of the places we've been to before! The only thing that can't be relied upon is the weather, and this year it wasn't so great, but we still made the best of it!

Day 1:-
We had a trip to the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek. I had been many years before with my Aunt, but as this is the main centre for rehabilitation, animals come and go, though there are some permanent residents. We got there at the perfect time, for the first feed and talk.

One feed followed another, so we saw all species of seals being fed.

Then it was the turn of the Penguins...

And finally the resident Otters....

After making an essential stop off for a cream tea, we wandered around till closing.

So many beautiful animals, being well looked after, and great talks by the knowledgable staff, and in a beautiful setting...

its well worth a visit...

Day 2

We had more of a chilled day, and decided to stay local.

Visiting the local stores and Art Galleries, some well established and others which are brand new, including a smoothie + milkshake place, we of course had to try out!

Day 3:-
The weather so far had been very changeable, so to make the most of our time, we thought we would take a coastal drive, up the West side, seeing as we have done so much of the south and east on previous visits.

We took a stop-off at Cape cornwall, and the weather took a turn for the better.
We strolled past the Oratory, and its local residents.
