Trip to Falmouth

We went to Falmouth this morning for a mooch around and hopefully to get some vinyl flooring for the bathroom and loo. We've been just about everywhere but there's so much choice it's impossible to make a decision. We need new flooring but we also need new tiles so do we get the tiles to match the floor or the other way round? Well Falmouth means Trago Mills and bargain prices so when we saw a very pretty pale green vinyl and the total cost was less than £15 - deal done! It's pretty good quality too - none of your paper thin stuff. All we have to do now is decide what tiles to get to go with it! Then the fun began as to how to get it home in the car. A 2m roll is just a bit too wide to go on the bootrack so I had to sit and hug it all the way!

Moorings by the Maritime Museum ...


Falmouth also means a trip up to Pendennis Point with a pasty for lunch.

The view across to St Mawes ...

It was a lovely day so we sat there with the top down on the car and munched away watching all the boats in the harbour. A rescue helicopter came over just before we left and we saw the lifeboat in the harbour but don't know if it was just an exercise or an incident.

The Coastguard Station at Pendennis ...

Just as we got to Portreath we were buzzed by a helicopter but I doubt it was the same one - too much of a coincidence!
