Where Are We Now?: In search of the perfect beer

You can stop searching for the perfect beer for I have found it....Hobgoblin, a legendary Ruby Beer...half way between a dark stout and a normal amber beer. See here. It comes in 500 mL and is local to Oxfordshire England. A lovely cherry colour and some real substance in flavour for a change and at 5.2% alcohol it warms you up pretty quickly. I will be buying more! And of course its cheap with the Aussie dollar at the moment.

We hit the road today in search of King Arthur's castle just 6 miles north and then saw a detour which looked interesting. The road made its way down to the sea and was an out of the way cosy little village...actually it was tiny. Looking out over the sandy beach (quite rare in Cornwall due to the mostly cliff sided coast) you can see the mist rolling in from the Atlantic. We headed back up to the main road again.

Then the mist came in rather thick as it did yesterday and this shot was taken mid morning. We were to find out later that just 3 or 4 miles up the road that it was a clear sunny and warm day everywhere else.Yes there are sheep hidden in the shot...you couldn't see much.

The narrow roads with their dry walls were now more difficult to drive on with their blind corners and oncoming surprises.

We had to postpone a place called Tintagel as when we arrived we couldn't see anything ...literally....and given that Arthur's Castle remains are there along with Britains best scenery....we will try again tomorrow. So we continued on to Boscastle which was magic withe the mist as a backdrop.

At the sea end there is a sea wall and an ooutlet to the sea which we saw at low tide. The heavy mist made me think of tall ships and |Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carrebean and I imgained huis ship appearing around the corner. Climbing up the headland gave this view.
