Jamie and Phill were determined that Pam would have a trip out while they were staying and so we collected her mid-morning and took her on a Mystery Tour! She'd had a major operation just after Christmas and this was to be her first big venture out other than hospital visits. The sun was blazing down but it was quite windy when we parked up at our first stop which was Mylor. While we had a wander over to the Chandlers she sat and watched the activity on the water. It was very busy and there were loads of boats to see ...
plus all the tenders which are left above the waterline ready for their owners to use ...
We returned to the car and then she was driven to Falmouth where we stopped for lunch at the Falmouth Watersports Association building. It was too chilly to sit out on the verandah this time but we had a lovely snack of paninis and coffee. After lunch Jamie drove us all up to Pendennis Point where we sat and watched the boats again ...
but this time we enjoyed ice-creams bought by Pam as a thank you for taking her out. It was then time to go home as the boys wanted to get in the surf and try out their new wetsuits! After a quick cuppa we followed them down to Gwithian and found them in the water ...
It was still really windy and they were getting very tired fighting both the waves and the wind so they didn't stay in the water for too long. Long enough though to christen their new suits and they were very pleased with their choice. Jamie had tried a different board today. As he'd managed to stand during the lessons he fancied trying something other than the training surfboard. He said it was harder but he thoroughly enjoyed himself and he was able to stand again ...
Two very happy chaps ...
and I don't think we've ever given Christmas presents that have proved so popular!
