But first stop was Penzance where we met Ben to go through our winter jobs in his new property in Penzance. We will be living there for a few months when we leave the boat (for good this time!)
We stayed in Penny's lovely Air B&B near the station. Two nights.
Whilst looking after the children we stayed in The Old Rectory near Boscastle. To give us a bit of space after our full on days in Tintagel with the children. Thomas Hardy met his first wife at the Rectory whilst he was overseeing the restoration of the local church. I think he had his mind on other things as many of the decisions were carried by the builder, who generously replaced many of the irreplaceable fittings rather than repaired them! The house and church are very evocative, in a beautiful setting and the B&B was faultless. Great walks in an unspoiled area.
Kitty thought the only good thing about this walk was pulling Sophies hair.
Sophie is of course the cutest girl in the whole world. No one would disagree with that. She is a little character and completely confident. Just like Sian was at that age.
On this day she learned to blow bubbles properly. In other words, she got the idea of blowing through the hole and not at the stick.
She played at this little tipi gathering with her friend Dulcie.
Kitty also such a lovely girl but rather a heavy lump!!!
Finally we spent two days at The Old Vicarage, St Clement near Truro. What a perfect spot right on the River Estuary.
Malpas was round the corner. A lovely place to live and have a boat with The Heron pub right on the front delicious food. But all small fisherman's cottages, a steep climb and no parking. So that rules that out as a potential next move. Also very expensive - naturally as all lovely places are!
