Dull, mild, breezy.

BOOK EARLY...BEAT THE BOXING DAY RUSH!



No...not another gloomy Euro prediction from Robert Peston!

Just had a look back through the stats for the website and saw this interesting trend. Once Christmas is over there is a mad rush to book up summer holidays! Even before the turkey has hit the soup pot, people are making their plans for the summer and predictions are that this is going to be a great one in Cornwall. We can't promise brilliant weather, but it will be pleasant enough. We can guarantee that the Cornish Pound won't be having a wobble on the markets...in fact you can even use your British Pounds. No queues at the airport and the border police are pretty relaxed about the whole passport thing.



We've still got a few places left for August....so go on, have a holiday in Cornwall this year....you know it makes sense.


Cornwall...just far enough away to be an adventure...close enough to feel like home!

SENNEN COVE CHRISTMAS SWIM 2011 COULD BE CHALLENGING!

Killer whales have been seen off a headland in north Cornwall, a naturalist has reported. Dom Clarke, 25, saw what he believed was a mother and calf about 100m off Trevose Head, near Padstow.

Mr Clarke saw the whales on 26 November while walking his dog. He said he was "amazed" with his find.

A spokesperson from Cornwall Wildlife Trust said the species was an "occasional visitor" although it was not reported every year. They confirmed there had been a few reported sightings of killer whales off Cornwall this autumn.

Killer whales are also known as orcas, can grow up to 32ft (9.7m) in length and weigh up to nine tonnes. They are mainly found around Iceland, Norway and northern Scotland, but occasionally seen as far south as the Atlantic coasts of Spain and Portugal.

Have you got an excuse for not swimming on Christmas Day yet?


An artists impression of what this year's swim could be like!

WIDGETS...WIDGETS.....EVERYWHERE!

No, not a new species to be reported to David Bellamy.

Its something to do with the buttony things on the right....if you're under 40 you probably know what I'm talking about.... if you're over 40 just press one and lets see what happens!











There we go...now that wasn't too painful was it?

Be afraid....be very afraid! The widgets will get you!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING...THE CHAINSAW'S GETTING HOT!

Coming round to the favourite time of year for me and Director Estates and Wildlife.

Next weekend we'll be off to the Portreath Garden Machinery Winter Opening Day.

Chance to get the chainsaws checked over and sharpened, grab a mince pie, drool over the latest tractor mowers....but more importantly get our wives the Christmas presents of their dreams.

Last year I bought her a powered scarifier, the year before a log splitter, and the year before that a chainsaw! You should have seen her little face on Christrmas Day morning when she opened her presents.

Can't wait for her birthday when I've got a new winch for the truck ordered up.


Merry Christmas everyone!
