This was actually our last full day at Newlyn and the main event was a good lunch had been booked. After a leisurely breakfast and a dog walking in dry conditions we set off to Porthleven a town a little way round Mounts Bay heading South towards the Lizard. Porthleven is the town you always…
It’s that time of year again so Mrs Sixwheeler and I are off for our annual visit to Newlyn, right down there in the wild west if Cornwall. For any of you who haven’t been here with us before here’s a little background. Mrs Sixwheeler was born on the Isle of Scilly, an archipelago of…
There are certain things that never vary about our stays in Newlyn, morning and evening dog walks. Last night when Maude and I went out it was in the middle of a rain storm of biblical proportions. Fortunately I have plenty of wet weather gear to keep me dry and warm and Border Terriers have…
And so to Day 2, which dawned with clear and bright light over the harbour and the promise of a decent day. However by the time we left the cottage it was already clouded over and looking grim to the west, where the weather is coming from. When we are down here we like to…
Here we are back in lovely Pen Camneves cottage overlooking the harbour in Newlyn. We had a damp and windy drive down yesterday but today dawned dry and brighter but still windy. Before breakfast Maude and I walk down into the village to a small shack where I buy a newspaper and she gets a…

As it started to rain straight after breakfast we took a little time to read the paper and have a coffee, then the sun came out so we set off to Sennen Cove for a good walk on the sand. We were blessed with some glorious weather which so made the most of it. The…
This morning I asked the newsagent what the weather would be like today, “Changeable” he replied. It got rained on for the first time walking back to the cottage, I then got soaked in Porthleven before getting a shower in Zennor and rained on in Penzance; this is what holidays in Cornwall are like in…
We were a little weary today, a mixture of travel and a strange bed I think; so we’ve just been around Newlyn today in the sunshine or dodging the showers. Newlyn is still a working port with a fishing fleet and a big fish wholesale market. In the picture you can also see the Penlee…
This is the first time that we have taken Maude with us to stay in an hotel. We take her out with us as much as possible but there are times when she needs to stay in our room. These are the times that she appreciates the view as Border Terriers are possibly the noisiest…
