Great place to go, the tide isn't often out this far, and it meant the dogs had the whole beach for a while, its got a great little cafe on the beach who do bacon and mushroom baguette with garlic butter, they were sooooo nice. Lucky was so excited she couldn't contain herself, she didn't know what to do next. So if you are visiting us, take a visit down there, its stunning, but check the tide times first. You can walk to St.Agnes and Porthtowan form there. Sorry probably a few too many pics! but it was stunning and the surf was huge, I think they have the body boarding champs here..
Challenge Complete!!, we sold most of our land and Farm House! Enabling us to concentrate on Purl Design LLP - Sustainable Architecture and allow our guests to enjoy the peaceful retreat here at The Mill Cottages in either of our one bed cottages, along with our resident pets, ponies, chickens, goats, cats and dogs! We have spent the last year renovating the 400 year old mill for us to live in, completed late 2012 and love every minute!!!... We are looking forward to another successful year.

ANYONE FOR A PRESENT?
Smurf just can't help himself, As soon as I unwrap anything he jumps in it, He was quite happy in this bag fighting himself for a few hours, very odd chap...
SHADOW CAME TO WORK!
We were about to go and do our site visits when Shadow thought she wasn't going to let us go without her, so jumped in the car and wouldn't get out. She had a whole day of visits, we have four on site over there at the moment, quite a lot to manage, but they are stunning projects , lucky clients!
. She enjoyed Polzeath beach and had a quick car break there….

STILL SUNNY!
We have been really lucky the last week or so, its cold but not biting cold and really sunny its great love it, don't want the rain back, I hate the rain. Heres a picture of the sun in the trees before the Wild life trust cut
them all down… yes you heard right the Cornwall Wild life trust think it is better that they go for the wild life??? deers??? horse shoe bats (protected), etc etc, if I wanted to cut down one tree I would have every man and his dog giving me grief, one rule for one and one for them it seems, I can't even sneeze near the ruddy horseshoe bats. I must look up the european law about it, I don't think they can do this, especially not now we are in November they will upset their hibernation…. ok rant over… it will be fine when I have had my walk and been fed ha ha… But if anyone knows anything I can do please let me know!

XMAS DECS!
Started with the outside decorations for Xmas, these are a few of them, It took forever trying to figure out the wiring as they needed to come back to a similar position, got half way through and had to stop to take the dogs for a walk and the obligatory yummy breakfast at Lakeside Cafe with Helen and Dave, not sure what we would do without them, I think our sanity would be truly tested or gone!…
ALL TRIMMED!
The farrier came and trimmed Studley and Storms feet, they seem to be really healthy at the moment, probably because we have had them in a smaller paddock to stop them from eating themselves sick!… But the grass is now just about finished, so we will have to put them on a hard feed for the winter hay and pony nuts…oh and the odd carrot and apple etc, Storms favourite! Not sure the farrier would appreciate his backside being in my blog! oh well!

BUILDING!
Steve is full time at college but at the moment has Wednesdays off, he has a lot of course work on his Sports and exercise sciences, but that is able to be done after football on the weekends, if not enough time in the evenings. So Steve got him self a job one day a week on a building site, he started today and seemed to have a great day, laying drainage, compacting, etc. A full day and really strenuous which is great for steve as he loves exercise… but is aching all over now, but has a footy match tonight , just to add a few more aches! Well done Steve proud of you XX

FEEDING TIME
Its duck pond time, fed the swans and canada geese, and anything else with wings… Pete tried to flap about so he got fed too, didn't like to tell him it doesn't quite work like that! So pooped a bit of bread in his mouth too ha ha… then Shadow started!!!!
SUNRISE
This is what you'll see if you get up early and go to Par beach, our local beach, its just stunning, anyone who thinks otherwise must be mad, its just perfect. The dogs have a great time there. A great place to start the day and finish the day oh and the middle bit too!!! if only I had my way I wouldn't leave! Shame that ol' work thing you have to do eh!
LAKESIDE CAFE!
This is the view by lakeside cafe where Helen and Dave feed us, so if you are down here, you must go in and have a bite to eat… great place no one would know its there really… fab food! I don't think the reflections could have been any more perfect… might have to put this image in a comp!!
