I came back off holiday last weekend from Tintagel and have been on another planet since . With no lap top or internet connection i have been very stressed , probaly more than i should be or is healthy to be . So what does that say about me ? Doing a lot of soul searching on that and being honest to myself . Its a while since i did that . Feeling tense , but im not sure why . Or am i ? Can reasons be so obvious that we dare not admit them cos they are so obvious ? Do we build in complications to relieve our selves from uncomfortable truths . Are we trying to re live the past this time blazing in the glory now we are all older ? I think we all do and having children is the first step to rewriting OUR past or maybe friendships are used for this purpose . I dont know but i have the feeling summer will bring the answers ....
Tintagel was as ever magical , mysterious and incredibly tacky . But beneath the tacky gift shops and castle ruins lies Merlins cave ! Ok i can hear you laughing from here.... stunning coasts and wild seas , black rocks and quartz make the long journey worth while. The week ended with a storm but started with brilliant sunshine . ( DO NOT ANALYSE ) I explored the caves and the cliffs on my own at night once the sun had gone down . My first family holiday was strange and i felt it was the end of an era .Had tears in my eyes as i left Boscastle as ive had some very strange , good experiences here , and insperation for writing ! Glad of sometime on my own to think , but oddly i had nothing to think about this time as all had come which was to come and was sitting well with me !
