webntweb Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Just coming to the end of a lovely week in St Ives (the Cornwall one) for my sister's 65th birthday. It's been dry more or less all week and sunny most days. Cool but very little wind, so very pleasant. Our apartment overlooks Porthminster beach, upon which we've sat at the cafe bar having a glass or two most days people and dog watching. A few brave souls have been swimming but none of them have lasted more than 20 mins. Back to Manchester on Tuesday via an overnight hotel stop near Gloucester, then next weekend we should be able to go to our static caravan on its new site near Rhyl. The caravan is being transported to Rhyl from Butlin's Skegness on Tuesday and the new site reckon they will have it all connected up by next Friday. I doubt if we will get any boating in this year (but you never know maybe at the back end of the season). We did manage two leisurely weeks on the Llangollen and Montgomery canals last summer, so if we do find the time I would like to return to the Broads even if, for health reasons, we only manage to potter about in the upper regions of the Bure. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgregg Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Gotta love 'Stives'. We've not been since autumn 2020... At which point any sort of holiday anywhere felt like an absolute luxury. A sunny week in Cornwall even more so. Only the other day we were saying how we need to get back there. Time for a pint in the sloop, and lunch at the Seafood Cafe . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
