We are busy here both at Tregongeeves and River Valley Holiday Park over the Bank Holiday weekend. On Monday we are playing host to the St Austell Rotary Club Duck Race. We have been hosting the sponsored duck race for a number of years now, and hope this year we will get sunshine to enjoy the day. If you fancy coming to the race it starts from River Valley Holiday Park, it should be a great laugh for all the family.
The weekly update on animals is fairly quiet at the moment. The chicks are all growing up and I have another hen sitting on eggs – this time it is Pekins – they are such pretty little things with their feathery feet. If they all hatch Alison and Heidi will be looking after them in the new chicken run they are building down at River Valley – although I don’t want to start counting my chickens before they hatch!
With the long weekend ahead and the hope of some sunshine thoughts turn to things to do this weekend. I can highly recommend Fowey. A quintessential Cornish fishing town, it has tiny streets jam-packed with super shops – ideal for window shopping or treating yourself!
Fowey is also home to some wonderful places to eat. Sam’s is one of our favourites, renown for their burgers, but also offering freshly caught fish. You can’t book, so we advise to go early, but even if you have to wait there is plenty of good spots to people watch. One of my favourites is the 'Surf and Turf' – steak with half a lobster and prawns…I am getting hungry just thinking about it!
Walking around Fowey in the evening, the little streets seem to hold in the smell of cooking, you really are spoilt for choice. Fowey caters for all tastes, whether it is a bag of fish and chips over looking the river (we recommend a place just near the RNLI shop, it has a small little sitting area, with an open front so you can shelter if raining), there is a new Italian down in the square – we have yet to try this, but it looks and smells wonderful, or there are a number of hidden cafes, waiting to be tried and tested, including Pinky Murphy’s – a bohemian mixture of styles and tastes.
Wishing you a lovely Bank Holiday.

The chicks have hatched!
Golly, I just don’t know where the time goes!
Another busy time for us, which is always nice as it means there are lots of people around the cottages and the camp site. Last week a youngest learnt to ride his bike down at River Valley, brings a smile to my face!
We had great excitement here this week when 8 of my eggs hatched. So far so good, hen and chicks are all doing well. This weekend the hatching of the blue eggs is eagerly anticipated. I have posted some pictures on our Facebook page of the new arrivals.
Talking of which, I am pleased to say we are now on Facebook. It is not something I use much but Alison, Paddy, Richard and Heidi are updating the pages with information about things to do and pictures out and about so do have a look. Apparently if you ‘like’ our page you will get updates on what we are doing…all a bit beyond me but give it a go!
With such lovely weather down here (after a few showers in the weeks) I shall be popping out and about in the next few days. I hope to visit the Lost Garden of Heligan this weekend, the plants are truly amazing this time of year, in fact I think this my favourite time to visit.
Afterwards I share be popping into Lobbs Farm Shop. Owned and run by the Lobb Family it has a huge selection of local meat and vegetables…I might even rustle up a roast depending on the weather!
I must also recommend to you the wonderful Trewithen Restaurant in Lostwithiel. Lostwithiel itself is worth a visit for it’s large selection of antique shops. But the Trewithen is worth a visit if you like quality food in a homely environment. Claire and her husband make you feel at ease, serving fabulous food. We were there a few weekends ago for John’s birthday-I won’t say how old he was- let’s just say it was a ‘milestone’!
Off to count my chicks now.
Bye for now
