breakfast of poached rhubarb and blood orange with vanilla yoghurt - fishcake with poached egg and hollandaise - annoyingly demanding lady returns making more demands - while away time in the hotel's public rooms - trundle our cases down to the bus stop - the largest apple turnover in Newquay - dull bus ride to Truro - the local school fills the Pumpkin cafe at Truro station - Alice in Wonderland at the Savoy cinema - a man kicks a pitbull in a shop - a cold wait for the train doors to unlock

boiled up in the hot tub cauldron - Eastenders day out on the bus - pass by the lobster hatchery, ignore Rick Stein's chippie, look at some boats, assess the pasty options and Padstow is done - hit the coastal path to join the dots - sunny bus ride back - coffee on the balcony - steam and swim - Champion's League!

a train across bucolic England - the conductor repels wide-faced kids from boarding - Truro bus confusion - the rise of the Newquay 'surf pods' - feeling like imposters at the Scarlet hotel - escape in rambling wear - Bedruthan Steps - boots off as the tide catches D out - over the beach in the dark to the Moor's Head
