Friday 25th July

Another hot day - because we are moored in the countryside, we had to spend some time removing insects, spiders etc inside and out!!!
We decided to go a bit further afield by bike today. We hadn't used them for a few days so we were "comfortable" again. We wanted to visit a small village called Holywell - we had seen it from the river but hadn't been able to moor anywhere near at that time. It is only one and a half miles from St Ives but the road was very busy with no cycle lane so we decided to go cross country.
It was a bit of a bumpy ride but definitely the better option. The focal point of the village is the pub The Ferryboat Inn. It had lovely gardens and is obviously a popular place as it was really busy - considering the village hasn't even got a shop. It is a real picture postcard village with lots of thatched properties. We sat in the gardens and had a drink before tackling the journey home.
Bythis time it had really warmed up and after a bit of shopping it was time to sit out again and recover! Have taken some photos but will add them to tomorrow's blog.
