This is very wrong for a Saturday but we were up by 7:30am this morning! It was actually very nice to be up. Justin picked Keith up at 8am and Rachel picked me up at 8:15am to go surfing. Rachel and I were going as spectators. We drove to a beach beach in Hayle - about a 25 minute drive from here. Keith borrowed one of Speedy's wet suits and Simon's board.
The boys - Keith, Justin, Speedy got into their wet suits then Justin, being a seasoned surfer, gave Keith the run down on how to surf. They spent the next 2 hours having a blast in the ocean. Rachel and I relaxed while we chatted and entertained their dog Max. There were very few people on the beach, even for a beautiful day so it was great. Keith has now decided he loved surfing.
I think I might grab a boogie board and a wet suit and go too sometime. I think I'll stay away from surfing as it doesn't interest me, but I think boogie/body boarding would be fun. Rachel has surfed before but she hurt her knee and now has a hard time surfing, but maybe able to body board. I have to try one or the other before we leave here because all the English surfers flock to Cornwall for the amazing surfing. I need to take advantage with all these beaches almost on our doorstep.
After the fun at the beach, we went to the Old Key House pub in Hayle and had lunch. We ate in the garden outside and it was really nice. We didn't get home until almost 3pm. Keith and I then popped into town for a minute and I crashed for a nap when we got back. This cold was needing some rest. There is a cover band called Green Dayz playing at a venue around the corner from here so a few of the crew are going. They are coming here first so we can all go together. I decided not to go as I figure I'd be better off staying home and not drinking and getting some sleep. Once everyone left I got on the phone and called Mom and I've now gabbed to her, Nan & Gampie, Dad, and Kelly for the last 2.5 hours. Good Lord! Figured I'd update this while I had a chance. Then it's off to bed.

Totally amazing beaches over there - who would have guessed. That's a good reason to come visit in and of itself .... how does the temperature compare to Nova Scotia's Atlantic Ocean?
Love following your adventures ! Thank you for keeping us a part of it.
