This week we've seen a little more sun, tempting us with memories of last summer and evoking a sense of hope that it'll be coming around again soon. The best way to spend the summer in Cornwall is in the sea, and that's something I fully intend on making the most of as soon as the temperatures lift a little - the two hours of numb hands after a ten minute swim this week tells me my body isn't quite ready yet. 

One way to avoid losing feeling in my body is to go kayaking, something totally accessible in Falmouth yet not something I've really played with. I included kayaking as one of the activities in my guide book, which made me think why have I never done this here?? It would be the perfect way to spend an hour, paddling around the coastline, beyond Swanpool in particular as I have rarely explored that area.  It's the best of both worlds: I get to be out on the water without becoming a human icicle within minutes, and I don't have to wait months for the water to warm up either! This may all be blissful thinking for now though, as right now I'm bogged down with the final few weeks of university. It's keeping me going though, the thought of warm days spent with friends before we all go our separate ways into the real world. Not long now.
