Padstow in Shorts

Wow, it was hot today. Forecast was clear and thunder in the afternoon. So wrong. Today I've been in shorts (with my lillie white legs) and factor 25 sun block. We spent the morning just being lethargic and relaxing while in the afternoon we went to Padstow which is a fishing town famous for the celebrity chef Rick Stein.

This beautiful town is full of places to eat with more pasty shops (including three in a row down one small narrow street) than you'll ever need and only out numbered by ice cream parlours.

We needed to buy bread and the only place selling proper bread (it was late in the day for fresh bread) was Rick Stein's bakers. In fact, he has a number of shops and restaurants in Padstow. In one shop you can buy his beer, his wine, his ice cream, his pasties, his fish, his veg, his salt and his BBQ charcoal!

We are now back at the campsite and it has gone a little cloudy. Maybe that thunder is coming after all.
