Crab & Peacock

Couldn't post in Sina today but wante to show off the two favorite encounters in Cornwall camping holiday.

Peacock and Peahen

Very pleasantly shocked to the peacocks walking leasurly across roofs of houses like they were just part of a forest.
It was almost 8pm and the light was fading fast.


The Crab that made my day and my week (context: I haven't had fresh crab for donkey's years)

Live crab got outside the Chapel Porth bay beach.
The owner kindly did business with me although it was late.
Cost: £4
Weight: couldn't see the scale.

Owner: Where you from?
Me: eh... China.
Owner: I knew it! Chinese people like live crabs and they like female crabs. (I didn't ask for a femal crab)
Me: So is this one male or female?
Owner: (proudly) Female.
Owner: So where do you live now?
Me: London
Owner: Oh it's an absolute bargain, bargain!!

Kids were fascinated by it and played it all the way back to the campsite.
Fresh crab cooked and eaten straight away... Heavenly

Moving to Sina
