Holiday in Cornwall

Just got back from 5 days in Cornwall which was fab! Flew down there with Chris and Fiona to a lovely little cottage in Mousehole. Chris and Fi were good company and I think and hoped that they enjoyed it as much as I did although I think or know that 5 days of Cornwall was enough for them. They or Chris as least were getting a bit bored with endless moors and windswept bays or little harbours...as for me I could watch the sea all day and not get bored.

We had a walk along the coastal path to Lamorna cove which was a bit scary to be honest. Really steep and close to the cliff edge is not my idea of a gentle walk especially at times when we were hand over hand climbing!! Although there was Fiona gamboling along springing from rock to rock apart from when she had to stop and wait for me!

We did the inland walk on the way back which was almost as scary but for a different reason as we had to go through fields of herds of cows!! I was glad to get back to the village again.

Sennen Cove was beautiful and I have that as my wallpaper now. Beautiful big curving bay with lovely turquoise blue sea which had brave surfers bobbing about on it. Lovely.

St Ives was a typical sea side town although marred by maurading seagulls attacking anyone who dared to buy and try and eat anything on the sea front.

Talking of seagulls the car park attendant in Mousehole had a tame one that he fed and watered. Otherwise it just sat quietly by him occasionnally reminding him to feed it. Apparently it comes every year and even brings its chick!

Seeing Chris, Ray, Adrian and Jason was great. Jason is so assured and confident which is what money brings I guess. Perhaps its true that everything has a price and he knows he can afford those prices now. Lovely big mercedes, designer clothes and paying for the whole thing, food, drink including champagne, and the accomodation for Chris, Ray and Adrian. Interesting though was how he felt about his childhood and his mum and bitterly angry still at how she took him from his friends in London and didin't really want much to do with the boys because it was all about Ray. Which was how I remembered it as well except I only saw that on holidays and he had to put up with it for all his childhood. Still angry at Ray's abuse of him as well. Ray was what you would call abusive now although in those days it was called being a disciplinarian. Makes you wonder how Chris could have let her boys be so unhappy though. I don't think she remebers it like that. I think Jason feels about Chris as I do about my Mum and in fact we both said how we get on with each others mum much better.

I liked Jason he still has a family attitude and I hope we can stay in touch.

Went to telegraph museum on last day which was okay as it was raining and then had lunch with Chris and Ray before heading back to Newquay airport and quick flight home. Lovely time. Chris and Fiona seem very close and in love although she is not so fragile and gentle as she seems at first glance. She is a strong indepdent woman which is good and knows her own mind. I sometimes wonder if Chris is more in love with her than her with him but thats for them to know ...just don't want my boy hurt.

Now back home and really not motivated to do anything much at all particularly work. Especially with all the uncertanties of work. Now we know Christine is going its hard to stay motivated on a job that will probably not be here next year.
