Halsetown and St. Ives

 Today it's been back to the sun, wind and rain - in this pattern all day.  John managed to cook his breakfast bacon outside before the first downpour but then we stayed home hoping to get out later.  We did, as we thought it had eased off, but half an hour later, we dripped back again! It cheered up a lot in the afternoon for a while, so we caught the bus down into St. Ives and met Sarah for a cup of tea at the cafe up by the bus station. 

Super view from up there.  The two baby birds on the rooftop below the cafe are fluffy seagulls.

then Mum (or Dad) and 3rd baby arrived.  Having spent some time on the seafront watching these scavenging seagulls, we wouldn't like to guess what is being fed to these babies.

Then we walked all around the many bays that make up St. Ives and for a while the dark sky was lit up with a magnificent rainbow.

Treated ourselves to a meal in the campsite restaurant on our return, then later a breezy evening walk over our hillside.

Our last night here - moving on tomorrow to Bodmin, visiting yet another NT at Lanhydrock.
