Sea Mist & Sunshine

On Thursday Julie's mum and dad came down to Salcombe by train to visit for a few days. It couldn't have been a better weekend, as the music festival was on and the town was really full and lively. We managed to get to the church to see two young Jazz Orchestras, who were really good.

There was plenty to do and see, but it was also difficult to get around what with Julie's mum's mobility scooter and getting it back up Onslow Road was a daunting prospect if the battery wasn't up to it. It wasn't and we ended up picking a convoluted route up to see if it was any easier and had to push it part of the way with Julie's dad on board.

Pete had to work on Friday and was in Truro all day, but on Saturday Julie went with her mum and dad on the ferry to South Sands where Pete picked them up. There wasn't much to see, as there was a really heavy sea mist and although it cleared a bit whilst we had lunch watcing te boats from the gardens in front of Cliff House the rest of the day was shrouded in mist.

On Sunday we went to Overbecks and the mist had cleared. The National trust site wasn't great fo rthe scooter, but it got Jean around and she was able to experience some of the stunning views.
