Well you can say what you like about the Cornish weather but it's never dull. We had clear skies at night from the end of January until late March and beautiful frosty days. Then they announced that we are in a drought and the rain started crashing down!
I was speaking to local National Trust ranger Nick Holden the other day lamenting this chain of events.
'Ah, but Tyson. This is what the weather is supposed to do. A mild autumn, cold in the winter, followed by April showers. '
He went on to suggest that this summer would therefore be good.
I hope you're right Nick, I hope you're right. I will be buying extra pairs of shorts and flip flops on the back of this. The BBC and Met Office can never get it right but if the horny handed sons of toil from the National Trust can't then who can?
I'll be burning my membership card in protest if he's got it wrong though.
Meanwhile up at Godrevy Point the seals are making a welcome return. There are about 30 who stay year round but when I looked the other day there were at least 70. Well worth investing in a pair of binoculars if you're coming down.
Back in the village the Red River Inn beer festival was a roaring success. So successful that they ran out of ale by 6pm on Saturday!
Lastly if you're in the area for the May Day bank holiday then check out Kernow Vibration play at the Sandsifter Bar on Friday 4th of May. Cornwall's finest reggae band.
Awesome.

The Long Walk to Summer

It feels like we have turned the corner into spring today. I know we aren't quite there yet but the fields are starting to fill with colour and for the last week or so there has been a hell of a lot of sunshine. The temperature has barely got past freezing but you can't have everything I suppose!

Autumn

So far, so good for Autumn. Apparently this has been the warmest in living memory for Cornwall. It certainly feels like it with hardly any rain and loads of sun. Sure, the wind has been strong for the last couple of weeks but if you can find some shelter then it has been unseasonably warm
The St Ives September Festival was an absolute blinder by all accounts and next years lineup is set to eclipse 2011's. We'll look forward to that.

Evening at Godrevy

 I have to say that I have been a little lacklustre with regard to the blogging lately. Its just been pretty busy what with all the good waves and weather!
I did, however, manage a little walk around Godrevy earlier. I didn't get to see many of the seals that this area is well known for but at least I managed to fire off a few snaps.
The weather has been beautiful today. Just one of those perfect days that we get in July - no wind, blistering sunshine and some gentle waves lapping against the shore.
Anyway, I'll try to get some more pics of the area up here. Its way more interesting than me prattling on!

We are fully refurbished!

Finally, after much hard work and the occasional moan, we have finished the Gwithian Holidays refurbishments. Trevose and St Anthony, our one bedroom suites, have been totally redone.
