November and the sun is cracking the paving slabs! Well not exactly but it's great weather. Little or no wind so we decide to get out on the water. Sunday evening, I'm sat on the patio enjoying a G+T when Les suggests we go paddling. Within thirty minutes we were on the water. Beautiful sunset.
Sunday, being November 5th, we gathered on the terrace for cocktails and to watch the firework display the other side of the river Camel at Padstow.

Lal, so disappointed that the men had no interest in making lanterns this year she made her own.

Monday am It was early to rise. A quick cuppa and we were on the water by 0815hrs. We sailed up river against the outgoing tide. Passing flocks of Oyster Catchers, Egrets and a solitary heron on fishing duty. This was Lal and Andy's first excursion in a canoe for many a year. Under Les's tutelage they were soon paddling away like a couple of extras from 'Hawkeye, Last of the Mohicans'.
