After a couple of not that newsworthy weeks we’ve been quite busy here in Padstow this last few days, what with David Cameron in the hotel yesterday and then today it is lifeboat day and we’ve got Billy Smart’s Circus up the road!

I was having a chat with Adam in the kitchen when we could hear a helicopter - both of us thought that this was going to be Keith, the hotel owner, dropping in for a pot of tea but I remembered hearing Tony talking about the lifeboat coming in today so we spent a few minutes watching them do some mock rescues and drop offs just otside the harbour wall.  I must admit it was pretty impressive the way in which the pilot handled the helicopter, not too sure if I would have wanted to have been in it.

The harbour side was really busy wih plenty of people watching and more lined up on the path to the crazy golf, I just hope they raised enough money to pay for the helicopter’s fuel!

I had seen some posters saying a circus was coming to town but hadn’t given it that much thought so I was quite surprised to see such a splendid big top up by the football field yesterday.  I haven’t seen inside it but the whole set up looks very professional.
