Cornwall - Easter weekend continued

So the last post was getting too long with the pics and has taken me about a week to write - just because have been so busy with my temp job I have at an office design and build company - but i'm getting ahead of myself.

So Again Easter sunday started the great full english breakfast and easter eggs :) yay Chocolate! We them ambled down to St Ives with the plan to meet up with Callum's boss and his girlfriend for lunch. We drove all the way down to the St Ives harbour (ignoring all the councils signage wanting to encourage everyone to park and ride a bus down to the tourist areas) and managed a beautiful parking spot right by the harbour front where all the activity was. So since we were late yet early since the boss Matt was running late (and we were even running late as per usual) we were enticed by the ice cream shops and had ourselves some more cornish ice cream and sat on the harbour wall watching the people getting literally attacked by the HUGE seagulls for thier cornish pasties!!! I've never seen seagulls that seriously launch attacks on people. Was very funny to watch! The harbour was beautiful and was pretty much a beach since it was probably low tide. We have sort of figured out that the difference between high and low tide must be seriously huge - as the harbours are just beaches at low tide with boats stranded on the sand and then obviously they must only get them out and in when the tide is high.

Ok am off track...so we then met up with the boss and girlfriend (who have the same height "issues" as us) and found a place for lunch that wasnt completely full and reserved. It was a really great lauch food wise but the service was little to be desired but more importantly the company was greta - and we all have a really enjoyable lunch together. Then we headed off on our own little mission to the Tate St Ives gallery. All i'll say now is that I and Callum were pretty dissapointed at the collection, as it was very small and since we had both enjoyed afternoon arbing around the Tate Britain we were expecting something more.

Then we decided to go over to St Micheals Mount. We had the most stunning walk along to beach after finally finding sand to walk on by the waters edge after stumbling over the pebbles to get there. The water was reatively warm (well compared the the freezing camps bay water that I'm used to) We reached the causeway that was a stone pathway that lead to the island on top of which there was a castle complete with its own harbour and tourist things. The causeway is only there at low tide (which it was) so we walked over the island and walked around there for about 10 mins. We couldnt go up to the castle as it was about 5:30pm at this stage and it was closing. But more importantly we find out that the causeway is going to be closed soon as the tide is coming in. So we start out over it, after about 30 secs we realise that the tide is coming in seriously fast and we land up having to make a run for it over the middle as the water is lapping at our feet! crazy stuff! Then back along the beach to the car we go and back to the B&B with the plan to go out for dinner and a pint ...but yet AGAIN we passed out before that happened.


And that is basically the story of our stunning weekend away in Cornwall as the monday (public holiday) was spent driving back to london and Callum attempting to drive in London with me navigating (which went pretty well) then signing back the hire car and missioning home on the tube - thankfully it was nice and quiet!

What a wonderful weekend that i completely owe to my wonderful boyfriend!
