Reusable Fruit And Vegetable Bags – Free Tutorial

Round 2 of part 2 of yesterday's adventures (we do Round 2 of part 2 of yesterday's adventures (we do hope you're keeping up here!). Although there are still one or two seaworthy vessels in the harbour at Lizard Point, you can see why the RNLI might have abandoned the lifeboat station here! (There's a fancy new one round the other side of the point). From the old point there were some lovely views over Kynance Cove towards Penzance and Land's End (which looked south-er to me, but what do I know? 🤷) #jackdoeslizardpoint #jackdoescornwall
Round 1 of part 2 of yesterday's adventures was do Round 1 of part 2 of yesterday's adventures was down to Lizard Point in the last hour and a half before sunset. Fair to say it would seem that the locals are setting up in competition with Land's End, wonder if those two cafes ever have a bet to see which shifts the most ice-cream 😂. Anywho, we had a nice wander around (unsustained, as said cafe was closed for the day), but we definitely spotted pirate activity @archiewonderdog ! We also headed over to the old Lizard Point (not quite sure how one distinguishes one old pile of rocks from another mind you!) #jackdoeslizardpoint #jackdoescornwall
In the vertical shots from part 1 of yesterday's a In the vertical shots from part 1 of yesterday's adventures, we went by St Mawes and saw a baby castle, then it was onto the main show. One should always have one's own bay, complete with yacht on front of one's country pile, what? There were rather superb views right out to sea from said country pile, and the house @nttrelissick wasn't bad either! We found a nice wee view for breakfast, but skipped a paddle at the beach. There were more impressive houses and yachts on the was back into Falmouth, obviously a place to go if you have cash. #jackdoestrelissick #jackdoescornwall
So yesterday was a two-parter, and we were so knac So yesterday was a two-parter, and we were so knackered and hungry when we got home, the pretty pictures needed to wait til today! In part 1 we caught a @falriver ferry from Falmouth over to St Mawes and up to Trelissick (yes, that's it in the first photo 😂. CalMac eat your heart out). The mouth of the river Fal was very busy, but also rather wide, making clear phone pics a bit challenging for her nibs, but there was a sailing boat that handily got close enough to the ferry, framing itself with Trelissick House in the background. The house itself will have to wait for the horizontal shots, but I've decided to claim it as my own as it comes with 'Jack's Summerhouse' so logically it must be mine... It also has a fancy, if not slightly random tower, with a golden squirrel weathervane that turned every time we took a photo - sneaky squirrels! But look what we found for lunch! @callestickfarm ice-cream - salted caramel and rhubarb topped with clotted cream and rhubarb, with real, tasty rhubarb bits! (LT's got a bit addicted to rhubarb this year for some reason) #jackdoestrelissick #jackdoescornwall

In round 2 of today's Tintagel adventures, there w In round 2 of today's Tintagel adventures, there were caves (@archiewonderdog I reckon they were full of pirates and smugglers) There were drops that one of us wasn't stupid enough to get close to. I had the key to Tintagel AND I found the holy grail, but then I also found a closed ice-cream van at the bottom of the hill, so I had to wait for LT to schlepp all the way up the hill back into the village before I got any refreshment! #jackdoestintagel #jackdoescornwall
So we went to see a castle today, except it turns So we went to see a castle today, except it turns out there isn't really a castle there (and until the 1990's they thought it was a monastery 🤷) it was very blowy and sunny (LT is glowing 😂) there were lots of big drops and scary bridges and just one castley looking bit of wall. There were funny signs, holes in the ground we shouldn't have gone down (trolls anyone?!), holey kings, cool coves and, in the end, paltry amounts of ice-cream. #jackdoestintagel #jackdoescornwall

And some spiky stuff that's meant to be good for you, but didn't look too appetising either! #jackdoestheedenproject #jackdoescornwall
