Well we wandered lonely as a cloud. After fighting for parking space in an empty car park with a large tractor and many fertiliser bags, off we set. Up to the coast and wonderful sea views and breeze! Up and down and again, and around and down to Polruan where we enjoyed a hot chocolate break while watching the passenger ferry coming and going with a few hardy folk – some obviously returning from Fowey with supplies. Then onwards up the Pont Pil through lovely wooded area where there were daffodils and primroses (yellow, pink and dark pink), stitchwort, periwinkle and violets both blue and white, the odd flowering nettle and solitary clump of flowering wild garlic – lots of evidence of bluebells but none flowering yet Terry!
We crossed the lovely little bridge and admired the lime kilns then on around the headland. A sheltered bench with a view made a good picnic stop and then on to Bodinnick to watch the car ferry this time. Up the hill past the ruined chapel, across the field with the curious cows and back to that bridge again. More up to the amazing church with bowed walls, leaning pillars and warped roof. One final “up” to the car just as the drizzle started then home for a nice cuppa. We passed a fair few people walking – solitary social distancing.
