Sand in my shoes

(A bodyboard hides many sins…)

Mr Bennet is hoovering out the car, I’ve been unpacking the cases and we’ve hung the wetsuits on the line to dry. Yes, we’ve just got back from a glorious week in Cornwall. Ms B is heading off to a new university to start her PhD in a couple of weeks so it was time for a family break before she flies the nest again.

I started the week by doing some work on the new book which is going really well. It’s quite a bit different for me and I’m loving the challenge of trying something new. There was a window seat in our cottage, that overlooked Falmouth Harbour which was an inspirational place to write. But it *was* a holiday – and the past few days have been so sunny and bright that we’ve been out all day every day.

I’ve also had my first taste of bodyboarding at Gwithian and Godrevy Towans and I absolutely loved it! We went back twice, it was so much fun and you don’t get cold at all in a wet suit and boots. Plus there’s a really great cafe on the cliffs called the Sunset – how I’d love to sit in there with a latte and my laptop, writing away… now all I have to do is to finish a best selller and buy a chalet on the cliffs.

I’m looking forward to a writerly lunch with some RNA friends so the week ahead can’t be too bad, even if I can’t be by the sea. 🙂
