HERE WE GO AGAIN..

That could well be Mrs. Snopper and Barney our Golden Retriever down the lane to Porthcurnick beach, for that`s where we will be for the next week staying in a cottage about 50 yards back up the lane.   We`ve been there before, of course, but it`s one of those places where, even after driving 290 miles, we feel at home as soon as we get there.   

And whilst we`re there we`ll be revisiting some of our favourite coast path walks and exploring some new ones.  It`s a lovely, unspoilt part of the south Cornwall coast and we probably won`t have enough time to see all the places we want to see - St. Anthony`s Head, Place, Bohortha, Porthbeor beach, Towan beach, Pendower and Carne, the Nare Head and the Dodman and some a little further afield. 
   

My problem with the south west coast path is that I always want to see what lies round the next corner or over the next hill so maybe it`s something of a blessing that our days are largely dictated by Barney`s teatime, dogs being creatures of habit it really won`t do for him to miss his tea.

The winsome Emily Wood has forecast a `mixed` week weather-wise - unseasonably low temperatures, strong winds, some cloud cover and occasional showers with the hint of longer periods of rain from time to time; state of the sea rough, winds SSW backing southerly, force 5-6 increasing to gale force 8 at times, visibility moderate, surfing conditions messy with waves 5-6 feet.   Just hope she`s wrong for once.

Back in a week or so - all being well.
