In Kings Lynn today with the fella, as usual he's resplendent in a Rovers shirt..From across the market place he spots something surprisingly familiar.. A fellow Rover.. Wearing a One call shirt....Blimey, Rovers must be like busses that's all I can say, I've gone months without seeing my one due to covid and then two come along at once....
We were down in Newquay last week and saw a guy in a Rovers shirt on Fistral Beach. Was well surprised

I like the beach at Crantock better than Fistral Beach, although it can be a pig to get to

I like the beach at Crantock better than Fistral Beach, although it can be a pig to get toLusty Glaze is the beach we normally go to but it’s currently closed due to COVID and it being fairly small and enclosed. They’ve put some yurts on the beach though which you can stay in but at £1600 for three nights it put us off
Just between Crantock and holywell there's an ace beach called "polly joke"Or as we like to say jolly poke!!Dunes at Crantock are ace but don't like the mix of waves coming from all angles at certain tides there. Mawgan Porth is a beaut. Or dare I say it the south coast!!! We live in Charlestown and love North but 75%of the time it's so windy and alot of the time covered in sea mist.Prefer the calmer sea and better weather knowing that the fun is only 30min away

I had ordered and got Beer , Cream Tea Wine etc and then said and a Water please. Still or fizzy ? Well its for my Dog so Still please. A dog - no sorry not allowed. I said well I am in the beer garden. Still not allowed and with that the Manageress passed by and asked the staff - is there a problem ?Yes they said he has a dog. I protested politely but she made them take the whole lot back. Hot tea cold beer, all gone. She said its company policy - so I said ok but you are not that far from Perranporth and there Dogs are allowed in the Beer Garden AND whats more they have posh signs advertising it as a feature (and I wasnt kidding) but she was unmovedWhen I checked later she was RIGHT - in that it was Wetherspoons policy NOT to allow dogs on their premises but how they can get it so wrong when 2 Pubs 17 miles apart are operating so differentlyAnyway Holywell is brilliant too - and my dog is now 17 so he wont be troubling either Pub again - and neither will I with their recent treatment of their Staff (or make that ex-staff)

Its a picture perfect village and beach. The site is amazing. We use the pool out of season and always recommend it as a place to stay for friends. Did you get over to Charlestown?
