We are all recovering from ‘Storm Eunice’ in Cornwall, and signs of spring are in the air. Â The daffodils are coming out, and the sun is shining albeit with blustery cold winds. Â The perfect weather for a costal walk.
I am lucky to live near Swanpool Beach near Falmouth so today saw me getting up early, clad in lots of layers and my sturdy walking boots, to walk to Maenporth Beach. Â It takes around an hour and is still very muddy to make sure you have the appropriate footwear.
  
  
  
  
What a glorious walk it was! Â Bright sunshine, blustery wind and lots of people to chat to on the way. Â It really lifts my soul and makes me very grateful to live by the sea in Cornwall; blows away the cobwebs and sets me up for a days work property hunting.
If you fancy breakfast, brunch or lunch then the Swanpool Beach or Maenporth beach cafes the perfect spots to stop for some scrumptious food. Â I treated myself to a bacon and egg bap – St. Ewe Cornish eggs of course with a deep yellow yolk. Â I managed to find a sheltered tucked away spot to enjoy my breakfast, and sat reflecting life with the help of crashing waves.
I thought of the poor people in Ukraine who are fleeing for their lives and loosing their homes, their whole city being destroyed by Putin. Â What we think are our major worries pale into insignificance in comparison. Â Can you imagine just grabbing a bag of essentials and becoming a refugee? Â I am lucky to have lived in peacetime so far, but I am worried that could soon escalate into world war 3. Â When we were all frightened in the first Covid lockdown, I remember walking on the beaches thinking at least we are not at war with barbed wire all across the coast. Â Today I reflected that it could become a reality.
