There are many beaches in Cornwall. There is sand and pebbles between sea and dunes and cliffs. Some beaches are sandy and some beaches are pebbly. There are rocks on some beaches, with pools. A pool is a water hole between the rocks. There is seaweed in the sea. Twice a day the tide comes in and carries seaweed (and flotsam) onto the beach. The tide goes out and piles of rotting seaweed are left at the tideline. Note the seaweed! Above, the sand is dry; below, the beach is wet twice a day. Never park below! The sea gives, but it can take things away.

Two miles from here there are more notices by the church. It’s a sad thing – there are no services in November. And there are more notices on the parish board. The Countryside Code: Respect other people; Protect the natural environment; Enjoy the outdoors. Deg ger rag hedhyw:  Ten words for t...
