I arrive first only to find that I haven't got anything to say, and it would be most impolitic to mention that we've virtually unbroken sun since May 11th and we're gasping for a little shade.
Ah "Tradition" is still alive and well in Blighty. Good to know...those non-traditional, avant-garde, new-age, post-modern telescopes which are all the rage simply annoy me.
£1!
for 10 x magnification?!
And you can't even point at the sun?
?
What can you see through it??

I got quite burnt,walking along the cliff-tops in the morning. I think the sun was at its best before noon.
I didn't know the vikings had telescopes. That's probably how they found England.
(Word ver = house. Looks like the random thingie is really going for shakespeare)
mig I would quite like to have met a Viking. . .
(do you think that monkeys are responsible?)
Dave I'm not going to bother to explain the notion of "holiday"
Zig erm, I was so busy taking the photo (for you lovely people) that I forgot to actually use the telescope
d'oh
(was in the harbour at Padstow tho, so the view would have been quite lovely - boats, sea gulls, water, harbour walls, boats, erm tourists and Rick Stein shops!!)
shot if you'd like a traditional English holiday, come to Cornwall with me one year!
you'll be more than welcome, especially if you don't make pointed comments about my holiday habits
Christopher we seem to have had our summer between May and early July this year
if only the school holidays followed the weather patterns!
however, I do seem to be the brownest person in SWSomething or other - so there must have been more sunny days than I remember (unless it was the Cornish wind!)
Holiday habits? Do tell!
erm, avoiding cooking and laundry at almost all costs. . .
. . .becoming engrossed in a really good book and not turning the night light off until about one in the morning. . .
. . .sleeping in. . .
. . .waking up and spending time listening to the waves, setting off wondering where the tide is, going in search of the perfect cup of coffee. . .
. . .sitting on the beach, reading the newspaper, slowly sipping the lovely coffee. . .
. . .on windy days sitting on the benches at the coffee shop (photo to come, sometime) reading the paper, drinking the lovely coffee in a different location (just to make a change!). . .
. . .playing crazy golf, daily. . .
. . .rock-pooling, at low tide. . .
. . .photographing other people's sandcastles. . .
. . .walking back and forth in the shallows looking for hermit crabs. . .
. . .standing for ages in the shallows watching hermit crabs being rolled backwards and forwards by the waves. . .
. . .sitting on the cliffs watching the gulls. . .
. . .generally doing a lot of sitting and watching and looking, sometimes people watching, wandering about on the sand picking up shells, more paddling, more rockpooling. . .
. . .on a hotter day (there were some!) going swimming and wave jumping in the Atlantic (bloody freezing tho it was!)(has to be hot so that you melt when you come out)
. . .playing too much sudoku. . .
. . .buying postcards, writing postcards, buying stamps then losing addresses. . .
. . .treating oneself to an ice cream ('thunder and lightning' was my fave flavour this year) everynowandagain (but mainly after a hectic game of crazy golf!!). . .
. . .sometimes having a pasty for dinner on the grass at the top of the beach. . .
. . .bored yet, or want more?
It actually sounds amazingly pleasant.
I am glad you are home and back here where I can find you. I've missed you, a little. Okay, a lot, but don't let that go to your head.
Now tell me, did you point this thing at the sun and try to see if it works? Just wonderin'
Welcome Home!
Peace
man I missed you too (and those grankids of yours) but the good news is now I've found your address so I can send some of the cards I wrote. . .
was racing for a ferry at the time I spotted The View, so didn't have a chance to use it, only snap it
shot pleasant? erm, ok. . .
relaxing and stimulating is more how it is! (well, for me anyhow)
there are trips on the bus (I don't have a car) to Port Isaac for the harbour, and Wadebridge for the Camel Cycle Trail; walking round the cliffs to Rock for the ferry to Padstow; taking a taxi to St Ives for the art
of course, you have to imagine the sand in your shoes and everywhere else, the shells in your pockets, always wanting to write or draw or photograph the moments, the smell of the salt and the sea, the wind in your face, wrapping up in layers of t-shirt and jumper - and unwrapping when the sun comes out
in the evening there's empty beach wandering and shivering as the last vestiges of heat leave the day and a little later at night (a clear one) there's cliff lying and shooting star spotting and Milky Way gazing and Atlantic Ocean roaring and wave crashing - very potent in the dark. . .
Ohhhhhhhh no--perfect holiday for me!
Coffee, watching whatever, wading, wandering and more coffee!
I don't know 'bout you, but I'da plugged it and pointed it at the sun....but you know I'm like that! :-/
a final attempt to get past the bloggercades...
I miss Cornwall.
I miss other things. Like my eyelashes when I try to wear mascara!
dinah Cornwall is that kind of place. . . you can buy false eyelashes (they even come with glue these days!) but you can't get the Cornwall experience unless you're there
*sigh*
(sorry to hear about the eyelash issue - how irritating)

Mel it was a lovely break. . . and now I'm back I really appreciate that
I did point and click the camera phone camera at the sun. . . will share in good time
