Pendoggett Day 14 (Friday) Mystery of the missing Salad

We drove out to Trevose Head, where despite being new National Trust members, we still had to pay £4 to park our car.  Why can't the national trust provide cards instead of the horrible temporary membership forms they do at the moment.  We walked around the head, past Stinky Cove and up to the lighthouse.  Then back on the coastal path and across Booby's bay and Constantine Bay.  At the far end, we found toilets and an ice cream vendor for much-needed refreshment.  Between the two walks, we had watched a lost dog search the beach for its owner.  Even apparently intelligent dogs do not search logically.

For a late-ish lunch, we drove into Padstow and queued for Rick Stein's Fish & Chips (and 1/2 a salad for me, because I didn't want chips). When asked if everything was OK, I said "I thought the salad was a bit of a joke", and was promptly refunded - a very good gesture, but I would have preferred a decent salad.  Jo overheard the staff say that they didn't think there was anything wrong with the salad.
So judge for yourself:

Salad and Fish

The salad consisted of 4 cucumber sticks, 8 or nine bean shoots, 5 or 6 sprigs of watercress, and a small pot of dressing.

We wandered away into town and were browsing for gifts.  When we went to pay, Jo realized she didn't have her bag.  I thought she had it, and she thought I had it, we dashed back, and her bag had been handed in - its contents undisturbed.

In the evening we repeated the meal in the Fish and Chip shop in Port Isaac, walking down the hill to sit on the wall of the harbour and chat to a lady with a dog.  How Brody would have loved being able to swim as much as he liked.  We also had drinks from the Golden Lion.  A very nice evening.
