Holiday and stupid wrist shot...

Hi All,

These are some pics of a recent family holiday in Cornwall UK.

We were in the UK for 3 weeks in August and it rained almost every day.

The amazing and dangerous Cornwall coast.


This was a different beach along the coast a couple of days later.


When the sun comes out I don't think you can beat the British country side for it's beauty.


The stupid wrist shot.


Thanks for looking

Simon

I think you get my drift.

Hi Chris,

I live in the south of the country on a Kibbutz close to the Gaza strip.

My wife also has relatives in Haifa.

Hey fantastic pics...you just can't beat the Cornish coast - who cares about the weather ?. I spend at least a week or so every year in St Ives. Storm watching in the winter is fun....

Hi Scott,

I'm afraid it's not part of any ritual.

We were staying at a farm in Cornwall and there were some chickens wandering around (free range), so my brother says "I bet you a fiver you can't pick one up."
So I just walked over and picked it up. He still owes me that fiver.

Simon

Great pics! Yes, with the right weather, the English countryside is among the most beautiful in the world - brings back fond memories of the days when I was a student in Manchester and would go fell walking over the weekends in Lancashire. Thanks for that and btw, nice watch!
