Gull Cottage Boscastle Harbour

. . . . those that have stayed in the main bedroom will know the lime plaster was falling off. The very talented specialists, Tekter Lime and Stone, have made it new.

We've been a bit silent on Facebook, partly as we've not had chance to be in the cottage ourselves over the past year. But improvements continue . . . . We have a new terrace fence . . .

Or kayaking out beyond the island at the mouth of Boscastle Harbour, Meachard Island (or Rock). It was stunningly beautiful . . .

Of two events in Boscastle this week I'm not sure which was more fun; the local school's Duck Race (spot the winner out of 600 ducks in the bottom right) . . . .

Boscastle has EV chargers! We were a bit slow to the news, but worth sharing :)

Well, this is a welcome development for Gull Cottage guests! We had two absolutely delicious pizzas from The Cornish Pizza Box Company, who are in Boscastle every Friday evening in the top village. We messaged them with our order, agreed a time and the pizzas were just coming out of the oven as we arrived. Our gluten-free pizza was carefully prepared in its own foil tray. And lovely young people, too. We'll be back and wish them well with their new(-ish) venture.

I had an enjoyable hour spent collecting rubbish that had blown into the Valency River - by the end a full bucket load.
I had quite a few people encouraging me, and one lady who gave me all her rubbish thinking I worked for the council 😄

And now the sign is in! Our son, who helped dig the hole and concrete in the post, can be seen in the background - we think it was all a bit too much for his relaxing few days away with us.

For anyone that's caught a stray human wandering onto the terrace to peak at the view, you may be pleased that we continue our two pronged approach - the hedge seems to have taken nicely, offering some privacy, and now . . . . we have a sign ready to be put in place next to the terrace entrance when we're there after the summer season. Lou and I are rather pleased with it 😊

And the last post from our recent visit . . . a lovely neighbour in our terrace has a boat in the harbour. I had the pleasure of going with him to catch his first lobsters of the season :)
