After a week of torrential rain, finally, on Friday afternoon, a strong warm westerly breeze blew the grey clouds away and bought us a glimpse of sunshine and the promise of a lovely evening. For my boyfriend and I, work was pushed to the back of our minds as we ended our day by heading over to the North Cornwall coast to Daymer Bay.

For those who have never had the pleasure, Daymer is on the North side of the Camel Estuary, opposite and slightly seaward from Padstow. It is an ideal location for all standards of boardsailer but is favoured by the local windsurfing gods who love the challenge of the well-named “Doom Bar” further out in the estuary, which can throw up some amazing waves in the right conditions.

My boyfriend windsurfed until the sun started to set. Out of the water and with the kit loaded, we headed around the coast towards Polzeath for a swift pint at the Oystercatcher; a St Austell Brewery pub overlooking Polzeath Bay and the Atlantic. Stunning. Then, a fish and chip supper - could things get any better?

Saturday’s weather was in question as we woke, and for very good reason. We held in our sticky palms tickets to the last Eden Session of the season – The Kooks.

Whoever said that Eden is the closest you’ll get to watching a gig on the Moon must be right! The atmosphere is always electric and the venue is truly awesome. I can’t describe the sheer beauty of these unique surroundings and the vastness of the stage built into the depths of Cornish clay country. Check out http://www.edenproject.com and see for yourself.
