My Mum had an opinion on sea views, the way she saw it was that any sea view was a bonus but it was the very best that had not only 'sea' but also some life to watch. That memory often makes me smile because from the house there is yes a great deal of ocean and its ever changing colours, textures and moods to mesmerize you, but in addition, just as my Mum would have loved, there is so much more to watch as you while away the day.
On any given glance out the window you check the surf on the Cowloes (on a big day from the living room chair by the fire you stare straight into the barrel as it explodes on dry reef), regularly you see basking sharks swim by, seals also, myriad seabirds, then there are the lifeboat launches to enjoy (so long as its just a practice and not a shout) and a daily event, as you get a direct view onto the fishing beach from the house, is the day's catch being landed.
But today was the best yet, and my kid's are gutted they missed it, yes dear readers Sennen's own A-list celebrity 'Bilbo the Lifeguard dog' was being put through his paces on the fishing beach by his owner.
He's such a great dog, a brilliant ambassador for beach safety and a fantastic teacher for kids to let them know, in a fun and memorable way, why beach safety is of paramount importance.
Needless to say once word got out the normally quiet Cove beach was awash with adoring fans. If you want to find out more about Bilbo and his adventures check out his website... www.bilbosays.com
