Holiday thread

[Dirkdigger]

Thought it might be nice to have a thread for people to post all there holiday images on.
Hi GW, managed to take a few photo's on our rambles. This one was taken from our walk from Sennen to lands End.
Didn't manage to get to Heligan or Eden. They will have to wait for another day.
We stayed in a little village called Porthcurno, the famous Minack theatre is just through the village. Wonderfull beach !!!!!

Lovely pictures DD, & they brought back lots of memories too - the Minack is where I got my username! - played the character there many years ago.  And I agree - Porthcurno really has a wonderful beach.  Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy it much - we were rehearsing all day!  You get some good views from the theatre though.

Glad you all like the photo's. Yes  Juliet the beach photo with all the people was taken from outside the entrance to the theatre.

I like the basking shark; I used to watch them off Arran years ago when I was doing some geological mapping for my degree.

smashing pics as usual dd :)
looks like a marvellous place to visit~might hide in one of your suitcase's next year ;D

[Dirkdigger]

Unfortunately no room  even for  a mouse.
Already decided must stream everything down next year. Only 2 cameras next time. Didn't realise till I got home the far beach on the bay is frequented by naturist. No close ups, but you can see in the pictures of the bay.
Cant believe the way the allotment has grown in our absence. Our tomato's are in fact a jungle. Cabbages being picked as well as carrots spring onions and beetroot. Courgettes  spreading across the plot like the green death.
Potatoes did quite well, probably retrieved about 35KG of early pentland and Charlotte potatoes.
Been over this morning and our first runner beans are growing, about 4-5 inches in length. Masses of flowers, so looking forward to them.
Also we have been eating our peas and lettuce.
So in the 4-5 months we have had the plot, we are chuffed to death.
Forgot the strawberries, seems our show was the talk of the allotment. We have 4 rows left to us by the previous owner, from them we estimated our total crop was about 15KG. The best tasting berries I have ever tasted.
Will try and post a picture of our overgrown tomato plant jungle.

Would thoroughly recommend this ladies properties if anyone thinking of paying a visit to the area. We even had flowers, pot of tea and chocolate biscuits waiting for us on our arrival.
Hope this is OK to recommend on this site.

Beautiful pics DD.  I want to go!!! I want to see a basking shark!!!

I love that last pic,very dramatic. Would look nice on my wall that!

[GREENWIZARD]

wonderful news about your lottie~i'll be round for lunch soon ;D

[Dirkdigger]

Cant believe after all the hard work planting things, soon as everything starts to grow seems to be gone in 5 minutes. Relations I've never heard of seem to be popping up, enquiring how the new allotments going. Don't suppose you have any spare do you ?? ::) ::)
Still must not grumble, just pleased to be able to offer anything. Really surprised ourselves, that we have managed to grow any produce at all.
Couple of local scroungers on our visit to St Micheals Mount. Coffee shop recommended.

[Dirkdigger]

A few more photo's . Just love the waves, could sit and watch them all day. ;D

[GREENWIZARD]

This is the view from the Minack theatre, across all the bay. Porthcurno beach is still in view, the other bays are only exposed at low water. The man in the photo is at the top of the steps from the beach.
Second photo is someones entrance to the back garden. They seem to grow like weeds down there.

[Dirkdigger]

Just a short stroll from where I took the photo of the back garden gate I came out to this. This is the cottage the garden belongs too. Second photo is the view a little further down the road.
When we returned past the cottage the owners must have returned, big Maserati in the drive.
Not too envious >:( >:(
