We’ve at last moved in. Taking our time to unpack and remember to look up at the amazing view….

“Perranporth lost about a million tonnes of sand, while nearby St Ives has gained.”
““So far we haven’t seen much recovery,” said Prof Masselink, professor of coastal geomorphology at Plymouth University.”

So far it’s been de-construct, demolish, dig & take away from the site.
Today is detailed set out and the start of foundations. So materials arriving on site that will stay on site as part of the new buildings (house and garage).

A weekend of building swell to amazing huge Sunday waves along the north coast of Cornwall.
