‘Port Wenn’

Does it get any better than this when you’re travelling..?
We are sitting on the Gold Lion Pub balcony where Doc Martin and Louisa sat for one of their many ‘tense’ dinners; when Louisa had her white wine and Doc had his water… The very same pub where good old Bert tried his luck at whiskey distilling and Pub ownership…I’m having a Cornish ale, ordering Cornish mussels and looking directly at Doc Martin’s house on the hill… The tide is high, the sun is setting and I could not be happier! A dream come true!

Check out the very cheeky HUGE seagull that was bold enough to go for mussels and chips directly from our plates! 🐦

…Three hours later and I am just heading back to our very comfortable living quarters for the next two days… A stone’s throw away from the thick of the Village… Lucked out yet again!

The mussels were absolutely delicious… In fact, even though they were the equivalent of $50 Australian they were probably the best tasting mussels I have ever had… succulent, plentiful (as you can see in the picture.) This has been one of those life moments that is absolutely priceless… 🌊

Poor Mark is trying to share my enthusiasm but not having seen any of the series is probably not quite as enthusiastic as me! 😉🥱😜

To sit on the steps of Fern Cottage at 9:30 pm with no one but me was something I will remember forever!Read more
