We stayed in a loft apartment called The Wheelhouse.

The entrance was through a gate where there was a deck for sitting outside.

There was quite a good view of the sea through the round window….

….. and another wonderful view through the patio doors.

I opened the door to climb up and get better look at the flags flying on a neighbouring flagpole; a Cornish flag and Ukrainian flag.

I enjoyed exploring Downderry beach. I had a good look at the various boats and climbed into a small fishing boat.

Here I am with the pots that are used to catch lobsters or maybe crabs.

When the tide was out I investigated the rock pools. I should have remembered my wellies as my feet got a bit wet.

I found cockles and some sea anemones in the crevice that looked like blobs of jelly….

… and limpets stuck very tightly to the rocks…

…plus lots of seaweed. It was a mistake sitting here as I ended up with a wet bottom as well as my wet feet.

The humans cooked a very tasty curry for me for supper.

Seaton beach is about a half mile walk along the sand when the tide is out. There weren’t many humans there as the weather was rather gloomy with lots of rain showers.

Life guards had put their surfboards out to show humans the safest place to swim.

I found a sheltered place to have a little rest. I think some young humans probably built the pebble wall.

It was good to relax on the deck of The Wheelhouse when the sun came out ad wasn’t too hot. I don’t like really hot weather.

On our last day the wind was blowing at 40mph for a few hours. I nearly got blown away when I opened the window.

Later the same day the weather settled down a little so I enjoyed a walk along the coast path towards Portwrinkle.

Here I am with Portwrinkle behind me.

In arrival at Portwrinkle harbour I had a rest in a boat.

The weather had become very blustery so I didn’t get too close to the water in the harbour.

The beach cafe, The Jolly Roger was rather odd. They didn’t give me a plate and I had to eat my almond tart with a wooden knife and made rather a lot of crumbs.

Walking the coast path is very tiring for a small bear, so after my supper I went straight to sleep .

I really enjoyed my time in Downderry and hope to go to Cornwall again in not too distant future.
