Our Picnic While Boscastle Flooded
On the day of the Boscastle flood I went with my wife Carmela, and our kids Molly, Libby and George for a walk up to the lighthouse on Trevose head above mother Iveys Bay. The sun was shining beautifully though the wind was strong (as it always is on the cliffs). We stopped halfway above the lifeboat station to eat our picnic lunch and looked along the coast towards Tintagel and Boscastle. The sky was black in that direction and as we sat in the sun on the grass around the high mounted bench at the top of the hill we remaked that someone was getting wet over there. It was only when we got back to our tent where we could get a phone signal that we started getting messages from worried family who had been trying to contact us for hours because they had heard and seen news of terrible flooding and cars washed into the sea. We told them the weather was beautiful and not to believe all they heard on the news and only later realised what had happened a few miles from our lovely picnic as we watched on. God only knows how none were killed that day. That would have spoiled our picnic ! Posted: 03/07/2008 18:56 by Robin Greaves |

Rowing our boat
My children, Molly, Libby, and George loved taking turns with me rowing across from the shallower of the two beaches the short distance across the calm bay to the lifeboat station which as we got closer loomed large like something from a James Bond adventure. We came ashore on the small beach under the lifeboat station that appears at low tide and explored under the legs and hulk of the boat store and slipway. On the way back a seal popped up alongside to inspect us but finding us thoroughly uninteresting lay on its back in the water to bask in the sun. Last edited: 03/07/2008 18:36 by Robin Greaves |
