June Camping

June has been a fantastic month for sunshine.
True we have had some misty and mizzly (mixture of mist and drizzle) days but we have had some hot, sunshine filled ones too, allowing me to ride down on the beach and enjoy some local views.
Camping has commenced as a steady trickle of tents and camper vans.
And the Camping Cabin has been incredibly popular. Advertised through Airbnb, you can either book through them or direct with myself via the campsite.

The cabin is an excellent alternative to a tent, with bunkbeds, table, chairs, baskets and under bed storage boxes for clothes etc Bottom sheets and pillows and cases are provided and you bring your own duvets or sleeping bags. A solar charged lamp is in the cabin and a carbon monoxide detector, but we strongly recommend to use your gas stove outside for safety and fire reasons.
There are a couple of benches on the decking to provide seating and relaxation and you share the compost toilets and shower and changing-room with other camping guests.
On the small holding the sheep have had their woolly jackets removed!
The Portlands now look top heavy with their horns.
June also is the month of our county show The Royal Cornwall Show. It is an annual event for me and nowadays I often go for two out of the three days. One day is a girlie day, looking at crafts and horsey shopping as well as some main ring events. 
And the second is to facilitate the young farmer in the family, networking and looking at sheep, beef cattle, tractors and farm machinery, the steam fair and all the things that boys like to look at.
This year, it also meant that 'mum' was only the taxi, so I got a whole day to wallow in horse classes and main ring watching....wonderful! And I know it is a little controversial, but I do love watching the hunting pinks and hounds go around.
