Very warm and sunny today.Using up food in Caravan as we are going home on Saturday.

Living in the Caravan is like being a well off homeless person.We don’t need to worry about the cold and where our next meal is coming from but we have to adapt to things maybe not being so available and to make do.

We got fish and chips in the Village fish and chip shop that’s only opens Thursday,Friday’s and Saturdays.A little girl asked for a bag of crispy batter leftovers ,they give them away for free and amazingly I found out that my partner used to get those as a child and they were called “scrunchies”.

The fish and chip owner said to one of the locals.

“I didn’t know as a child you could ask for them”

The other chap replied “They’ll have finished them by the time they get home.”

The little girl returned and asked could she have some vinegar on them.

Had a lovely evening on Hollywell Beach the waves reminded me of “The Guinness Advert” with the white horses.

Namaste and Thank you for reading.🙏

Caravan tyre repaired, it was a faulty valve which took about twenty minutes to repair.The tyre repairers said they’d be at lunch but they managed to fix it as I suppose it wasn’t too serious.

Tedi very naughty,it was a nice day and I was sitting outside and he was inside with the door of the caravan open.I heard him whimpering and I went to check what was wrong,he ran by me at speed.Turns out he wanted to chase the tractor pulling out another caravan.He leapt over the towing hook, fortunately the chap stopped what he was doing.Tedi could have been squashed.I think he was born and brought up on a farm.

After that excitement,we went to the beach and another dog had to rescue Tedi’s ball from the river as Tedi wouldn’t get his tummy wet.

After the walk at Hollywell Bay. we had a nice Alfresco Dinner and thought my what an exciting day.

Highlight of day was eating “plates” alfresco in the field.I’d read about the real way to enjoy tapas in Spain is to move from bar to bar sampling the fayre,while enjoying a glass of whatever you fancy.

I had a few bits and pieces in the fridge,including two duck kebabs,so along with pasta,cheese ,avocado ,chorizo and mayonnaise I made up my “plates”.

Along with a non-alcoholic wine, it was really enjoyable.

The weather didn’t know what it was doing but I did so it didn’t matter.

And….Tedi was relaxed enough to play with his toy Ermitrude.

Definitely in mañana mode,let’s not do today what we can do tomorrow.

Still managed to use up leftovers and make garlic bread from a baguette I bought from the Coop.

Still no word on when we can borrow the jack to repair the leaky valve on the caravan tyre that was replaced last September.Looks like that might take up the last few days of our holiday.

Still , went to Chapel Porth this afternoon and again walked on the beach. Bit tricky to climb down as a lot of rocks seem to have been dragged in by the tide.Nevertheless, with the waves from the sea and the sand that was left on the beach ,it was impressive.

The weather out to sea was deteriorating,there was a mist coming in.

Still we climbed up a steep hill and we seemed to avoid the mist until we got back to the car.The dog wanted to take a short cut back , but the incline was too steep and my fell running days are over.

Dog getting more relaxed with his dog massages.Seems to get him over the stress of the bird scaring noise.

He really benefited from the massage.

We had a lovely town walk in Newquay( because he really is a townie dog) as a reward and he had a doggy ice cream at his favourite Cafe Freddo,which he gobbled up like a good one.

He got up twice in the night, because he had a really big drink of water before he went to bed.The second time I took him out and he stole my bed,which wasn’t so bad as I got to sleep in the double which makes a change.

Definitely the massages worked!
