Nearby their is a small seaside village called Seaton which has an interesting beach cafe which caters for dogs in a very different way - you can buy your dog some canine ice cream.
It has been a very late spring in the UK after a quite severe winter. Consequently, the spring flowers have been delayed. We went up the Tamar Valley looking for bluebells (and other spring flowers of course.

The Duchy Nursery Garden Centre is not far from Lostwithiel and Bodmin and they have a nice cafe with great views over the Fowey River valley. It is a great place to go for a coffee or to have lunch.

There is a great view of Restormal Castle from the Cafe.

We also visited Falmouth recently where I took some photos of a naval Royal Fleet Auxiliary Ship being refitted. My great uncle, Richard Billett, a marine engineer served his apprenticeship at these docks back in the first decade of the 20th century and worked there again at the end of the First World War for a short time.
