Newquay is coming back to life

Filed Under - leaving the rat race |
Newquay is starting to wake up and come out of winter hibernation. Easter is early this year, which brings the start of the season forward. People who went away for the winter are starting to trickle back. The main pubs and bars are getting livelier. On a sunny weekend with decent surf, there are more people out in the water.
Really, summer is what it’s all about here. Obviously summer is a nice time everywhere, but here it is more important to have a good time. You’ve got to make the most of the season before it is all over for another year. You are either planning to work your butt off and earn your money for the year, or trying to decide what will allow you to have the most fun!
I don’t really want to spend the whole summer just temping in an office, so I need to find something that will get me out and about. I would like to get my beach lifeguard qualification but I really need to work on my swimming first.
During the weeks and months that I haven’t been posting here, I have been working on my other website, www.gubernatrix.co.uk, which is growing slowly but surely. Sometimes it is frustrating that I don’t seem to have enough time to do my wage-earning job, work on both websites, train and put my ideas into practice for the future. But then I remember that at least I am in the right place. It would be even more frustrating if I was still stuck in the city and part of that daily grind. Here, at least I can still escape to the beach or hang out with like-minded people! It gives you hope.
Stumble it!

Hi
Just checked out your site today, really enjoying it, great to see lots of downshifting tips in one place. My blog is also about downshifting and frugal living, also left London for the seaside!

p.s. fancy swopping links?
We’re still urbanites, but hope to change that soon. Great blog by the way!
@ Bev: thanks, yes I am happy to swop links. Will add you to my blogroll.
@ Ruby: thank you, good luck with your adventures!
great, keep it coming i mean the house prices here are not high enough yet, the waters not crowded enough and not enough hotels have closed shedding jobs that cant be replaced. Do you think you could start a blog on how wreck other parts of the coast to facilitate a lifestyle change. Muppets.
cheers
