It's my daughter's exchange partner's last full day here today, and after the largely school /educational itinerary of earlier in the week, today is a free day, with the host families, or whatever the students decide they wanted to do. Although my daughter doesn't actually go to school in Cornwall, we do live here, so we offered M a chance to see a little bit more of our part of the world, so we've been out and about this morning, enjoying the nice weather. We went to Seaton, a small seaside village with a nice beach that has been a favourite of ours ever since we've lived in this part of the world, before going on to Liskeard, where it turned out to be St.Matthew's Fair weekend, which I'd forgotten about, so there were a few events going on in the town centre, albeit hardly on a massive scale. M also had a chance to try a 'proper' Cornish pasty, too, from a well thought of local bakery, by way of lunch, and seemed to enjoy it. After all, who could come to Cornwall without at least trying our local delicacy! The girls have gone off into 'town' this afternoon, to meet up with some of the other Finnish students and their partners, and do some girly shopping-ish things (no sexism intended here, I hasten to add, just noting what they've got planned), and then we'll go out for a meal this evening as a kind of send-off for M.
At the risk of ruffling feathers again, while I was evading walking on the sand at Seaton earlier, strolling along the pavement at the top of the beach instead, I was treated to a very nice dose of 'eye candy' - a super-cute boy doing back flips off of the low wall, landing on the sand on the seaward side. Lovely and athletic, and without apology, far too nice to not watch, for me, at least.
Love & best wishes to all
