This is the stunning view we have from the cottage we’re staying in in Polperro. Apparently there were dolphins here recently...that would be so cool to spot some! 🐬🐬🐬

Amazingly my asthma hasn’t been bad...even on these hills! Maybe it’s the sea air?

It could well be. Hopefully you'll get to see the dolphins too, that really lifts the spirits 🐬

Thank you! It is a bit chilly and has been chucking with rain! But it’s stunning! ...other than we are up a massive, steep hill...might need my inhaler! 😂

Enjoy your break and hope weather improves. The wind, rough seas and dark sky’s remind me of the smuggling history in that part of the world.

There’s a museum just down the bottom of the hill about the smugglers...except it’s closed.

Oh my. This reminds me that I need a holiday. 👜👙👒

It's absolutely beautiful Dee. Yesterday I was reading about a very friendly and popular dolphin in Ireland, that was very loved by the inhabitants. He visited for decades and the locals got used to seeing him. He's almost forty years old and recently has not been sighted. They think it's because of the lockdown and not seeing people anymore he's moved on. Or because of his age, he's died. Dolphins are such beautiful creatures. I hope you see some. 🐋 I don't have a dolphin emoji!

Enjoy your break.

madonbrew in reply toCaspiana

Aww, they are amazing creatures aren’t they! My dad used to work on the ships 🚢 and he said a man fell overboard once & a dolphin came& kept pushing him up to the surface until he was rescued! Awesome!

Yes, holidays are so important! Just a change of scenery even! Hope you manage to enjoy a break somewhen!

🤗❤️😘

The government is promoting travel now within it's borders to stimulate the economy. Travel and shirt holidays are very cheap. So I may take advantage of it and go somewhere. But Chom will hate me forever! xx 😅

Love Cornwall. Had many holidays there. My favourite places of all time were Porthcurno and the Minack theatre. Fabulous. St Ives and Bude. Wonderful.

I will give it a go. And if I am more or less happy with it (never completely satisfied, of course) I will post it and message you to see how to get it to you.

I live on the other side, on the north coast. Welcome, it's not all that warm at the moment, is it? Always beautiful, though.

That's beautiful! What a great thing to look out on that every day. Have you got some binoculars for dolphin watching?

Binoculars have a different name in our household. We gave our little godson some children's ones one Christmas. When we saw him he said, 'I really like your knockers!' His slightly embarrassed mum explained that he couldn't say binoculars - and we've called them 'knockers' ever since ! He's now a married man so I hope he's learned to say the word properly now, otherwise he'll be getting into trouble. Haha!

Have a great time. xx Moy

madonbrew profile image
madonbrew in reply toMoyB

Not sure we’ll see any dolphins! Might be too cold!

That’s brilliant about the knockers 😂😂😂

How are you and Lola coping with the lockdown?

LittlePaws profile image
LittlePaws in reply to

i went shopping and got lots of food in for Lola, I bought some books online and my friend has lent me a couple of his box sets for my dvd player, i really don't like going out of the flat anymore. How are you and Baby doing lovely? xxxx

in reply toLittlePaws

Baby and the family are fine thanks for asking and we are doing the very best we can given the unusual circumstances at present.

I went to polperro years ago and it will be nice when I can get out and about again when things are more settled and here in Wales we have been locked down again.

Bless you and all the others in tiers 2&3! It’s tough when you literally can’t go anywhere again. I’m very fortunate living in Dorset where there have been very few cases in the scheme.

What a wonderful view to wake up tò. Did you know that before you went or is a first time there ?

Have a lovely break and send us some more views please.

madonbrew profile image
madonbrew in reply toJaybird19

Actually I only came because my sister and brother-in-law and little nephew were coming and there was a spare space in the cottage. Soo didn’t know how lovely it would be! I’ll pop another photo on!

CDPO16 profile image
CDPO16

Great view. I hope that you can make it down to the harbour and back without too much difficulty.

I would second Jaybird's request for more photos if you have a mind to send any. Long time since I was in Polperro and am never likely to visit there again. Enjoy your holiday.

madonbrew profile image
madonbrew in reply toCDPO16

Amazingly my asthma had been ok! Good even! Maybe it’s the sea air?!

That's good to know, Dee. It will make your holiday so much more enjoyable.

Miserable weather up north, hope you are faring better xx
