13/12/24 - Merrymoor Inn, Mawgan Porth

A-List Celebrity Neighbours

Please allow me to boast, just a little bit. Our dog-sitting exploits have taken us to new heights, that surely have ruined us. It was rather tough to get out of bed this morning.

Those are my feet

We have Kate Blanchett next door. We have Chris Martin, supposedly moving in a few doors down. Yet our property possibly trumps them all. Can you feel smugness from a blog?

Walk past the hot tub, hop over a wall and we're on the South West Coast Path. The dramatic section of the SWCP. Where its impossible to get down to the beaches of Whitestone Cove and Pentire Steps. Too precipitous, and in the case of the former - cliff erosion.

Still, its a bracing walk from Mawgan Porth to Porth Mear. A lack of inland paths results in rather a balloon shaped walked, but superb all the same.

Our responsibilities for this week, Ruby and Wolf.  And Mrs M

The National Trust Pentire Farm allows for some variety before we come back the way we went for a mess about on Mawgan Porth Beach, and of course, the pub.

The Merrymoor Inn, family run for 62 years. A huge car park, where they have avoided threatening patrons with fining if they don't input car registration numbers. Mulled wine, mince pies on the bar and Skinners Jingle Knocker at £4 a pint.

I hope Kate and Chris appreciate this level of service to the community.

I'm fixed, Chris, totally fixed
