Summer holiday

beanz

Strange being away

Out of touch with friends

And also out of touch with work - a really good break!

Loads of sunshine
Swimming in the pool every day
Lots of rest

Mozzy after effects almost gone - but not run yet.

It is very hilly here - steep walk down to the beach and the coastal path into St. Ives. Good 15 minutes of CV coming back up!

So far:
Monday

St Ives - Tate and Hepworth museums,

and lots of walking

back to the hotel for a swim with the teenbeanzes

Tuesday

early morning swim and morning on the beach
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
afternoon of reading, crosswords and Sudokus


Wednesday

Geevor Tin Mine, Levant Beam Engine and Land's End.

Sublime to the ridiculous!

Rain forecast for tomorrow so maybe into St Ives? Should try and run.

More later in the week.

Summer holiday 2

off on holidays ......
