Yesterday was a fantastic day down here in Cornwall, the second sunny one after a
massive storm that smashed sections of Penzance promenade, the
Jubilee Pool and Newlyn Green. On Sunday the promenade was almost as crowded as on
Pirate Day with locals and visitors alike inspecting the damage to the prom and pool. A sort of Dunkirk spirit pervaded the atmosphere.

| Waves in the 'ride-able' size now |
At Sennen it was the same story, the cove filled with half-term holiday makers strolling in the sun, having a look at what all the fuss was about in the national press when '200ft Waves' were reported crashing into the cliffs at Sennen. Today there were decent surf-able waves, the sunshine making Sennen look more like its normal inspiring self. Apart from the sand, that is.

| The bed rock of a beach |
There is a distinct lack of sand on the beach at the moment, the giant scouring swells of the last weeks having shifted it out into the bay, an oceanic action repeated on several beaches in the south west. Never fear though, it will come back, gradually pushed back in by normal sized wave and tide action to regain its natural state.

| Sennen Cove |
As the sun set the cove looked much the same as it does in summer, calm and relaxed with families enjoying the shops,
galleries and pubs, and surfers whooping in the line up.

Spring is definitely in the air down here.
