1 Polzeath Court

06/06/2023

There's no surf at the moment but the flowers and beach are wonderful. Always sad to say goodbye to visiting Australians but then they managed to create this masterpiece on the beach at the weekend for us to enjoy.
Lovely, as usual, to see my neighbour Mary yesterday. She also rents out her flat on Airbnb so if you find that 1 Polzeath Court is booked then try her lovely flat upstairs. Or if you have a large party of more than 5 it makes sense to book both our flats and be all together at Polzeath Court.
This is a link to Mary's flat:

North Cornwall particularly green at the end of April with wildflowers everywhere.
Polzeath Court has a new roof!

Sophie, Megs and Kaitlyn always make you welcome at the Tubestation for a coffee or chat and now they’re opening gallery space upstairs too to feature local artists like Lip (Andrew) Syms and co

Walk the new NT path directly to the old orchard and coffee shop at Pentireglaze or just go straight on down to Pentireglaze Haven (Baby Bay)

There is now a brand new National Trust footpath that links Polzeath Court with the NT footpath at Pentireglaze Haven (Baby Bay) and even the South West National Trail. You just have to cross the road and you are in the trees and on your way!
Alternatively turn right at the steps at the bottom of the valley and head up to the NT coffee shop and old orchard on the main inland footpath.

Running the coastpath this year?

Polzeath Court today on a fine October weekend. I actually put the drone up to look at the new building site on the the corner of Tinners Way. As usual a lot of work going on in the neighbourhood

I'd rather be in Cornwall. Plenty to love about the coming months. Contact me for availability

Apologies for not posting more here about 1 Polzeath Court news. To be honest you will get more local news from my North Cornwall Coast Path Walks page which is regularly updated so please check there too.
There are a few dates free over the next few high season months and if you were thinking of coming down then you can either check on the airbnb calendar and book there, or contact me direct and book with me. Airbnb fees I know can make the difference between being able to book and not booking.
Suffice to say Cornwall at this time of year is an explosion of wild flowers and we are lucky to be able to walk out our door and head off on foot to what many consider to be the very best bit of the North Cornwall coast... And then be back in time for breakfast, lunch or tea!
In a couple of weeks I have an all German TV crew from ZDF here for a couple of days filming. Not only me and my Beach Art but also Port Isaac crab sandwiches, Padstow's Prideaux Place and the south coast's Eden Project.

Finding the waymarks on a 4.6 billion year walk is sometimes surprising and exciting. Measured by North Cornwall Coast Path Walks this walk is sure to get you thinking about our relevance in Earth’s history…after all the bacteria ,fungi , lichens, algae, mosses and viruses, that we are only just getting to know now, have been here for so much longer than we acknowledge or give them credit for!

Morning Light. A painting by Philippa Bartlett that’s so aptly titled and placed that I think Sam’s subconscious played a part!

After the penetrating mizzle all morning the afternoon produced this. You have to sometimes hold on.

Information for visitors to the flat in 2022. Sorry rather a rushed walk through but hopefully some of it helpful!

How lucky to have this as an easy late afternoon walk when all is so calm.

Does Cornwall make you want to dance and jump even in the winter?
Philippe Halsman wrote a book about jumping when I was two. He wrote that "when you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears."
The photographer developed a philosophy of jump photography, which he called "jumpology".
He published his Jump Book in 1959, which contained a tongue-in-cheek discussion of jumpology and 178 photographs of celebrity jumpers.
This one's mine.
