I'm Lonely​…..

> I know Goffick is down here at the mo, sadly I am too busy in the evenings to meet up for a pint, even though he is only 5 miles down the road. Never mind.

Ah, yes... sorry about that! I was gonna call you to confirm the unlikely... hood... erm... that we'd be able to meet up... Such a shame, but with only 2 full days, we thought we'd make the most of it and get a few miles in... Spent one day in West Penwith (Chun Quoit and Castle, and Carn Gloose/Gluze) and the other around Holywell Bay (blast that low tide!) - could have done with you there then, actually! We went as far to the North end of the beach as we could, tide permitting, but the bit where we suspected the cave to be was already unreachable! But only just... the temptation was rather high, but I remember the speed at which it came in once before! So we spent an hour wandering amongst the ones we could go in, just in case... Bah! Still not found it... :( Next time I'll check the tide times! We got there around 11:30am thinking the low tide would be around midday... Oh, well... Took a nice walk across the cliffs to Perranporth, anyway - across the dunes, via the remains of (site of) St Piran's Oratory and church and that lovely celtic cross... then all the way back via the road - I've never been so knackered! :o) It was nice...

We'll be back next year for a week tho - we'll definitely have to get together then...

I could certainly help you be a lot less lonely if you could find 2 people jobs and a house - what we wouldn't give to live in Cornwall! We're so happy when we're there... One day... *sigh*

Glad you enjoyed the weekend, we were busy as bees socialising with the tourist industry...shame about Holywell...and I thought the tides were pretty low it being full moon and everything. I got out on the moor on Sunday and ended up at Stannon late afternoon....it is always cold when i'm there....fifnished me flask of coffee and waited for the sunset...never really came but I did get some photos..see my latest posts...

Can't find you jobs but I do have a cottage that is availiable to rent....

I can understand that feeling that Cornwall can evoke.
I moved here 3 years ago from the south-east because
I just found myself wishing I was here all the time.

Ended up in a funny little place called Lostwithiel,
partly because the name sounded Tolkienesque. Funny
reason to move to a place but there you are ...

Me and family visit Hurlers regularly, but I have not ventured much more onto the moor, except to climb Rough Tor last spring.

Keep meaning to do more exploring. Spent an afternoon at Boscawen-un a while back. Very interesting. The
light went all weird and it started to rain, and I sheltered
under the leaning stone. The sun came out again, and gaily pranced about with some invisible Cornish piskies.

Which was nice.
