Hullo Ladies!
It's been nearly a week since my last post, it's been really busy around here. Getting things ready for my holiday next week.
I'll be doing a lot of hauls soon though talking about what I'll be taking to Portugal with me so that should be fun!
Today I have a haul post about some things I've picked up in the last week.
I've been obsessing over false lashes for some reason and decided to stop in Superdrug after finding out they had a sale going where they had a third off most of their lashes.
I picked up all three from Eylure.
Two from the Katy Perry Line - Cool Kitty and Oh, Honey! and one of the double set boxes as it was on a great offer.
All were around the £3.50 - £4.00 mark
I'm taking the Katy Perry ones on holiday with me.
I also stopped in poundland on tuesday and picked up some great things from Rimmel and Revlon. All products I've seen in Boots and Superdrug but for just £1 each! Amazing!
I finally have the Facets Of Fuchsia nail polish from Revlon, which I've wanted for years, a Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Coral Reef. I've owned this before and loved it but sadly lent it to the wrong person and never saw it again, as you can imagine I was super happy to find it for a pound!
I also found two of the Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmering touch tubes in Shimmering Sand and Radiant Rose.
This was the Deal of the Week!
I still have quite a bit of Birthday money left and when I stopped in Superdrug to pick up the lashes I found out that they had their last 100ml bottle of Wonderstruck on Half Price sale for just £19. Then I found out I had 500 points on my card and I got this gigantic bottle for just £14!!!
I love it too. Will be reviewing it soon!
I had my hair cut Friday for the Holiday and I bought the OSIS+ Shine Spray, I loved how it looked when she used it on me so I decided to treat my self.
Then whilst in Superdrug (again) I noticed they had Buy 1 get the 2 half price and some Hair Care so I picked up some products from V05 that I've been meaning to try. Smoothly Does It Tame and Shine Spray and Volume Boost Gel Spray.
I know you're asking, "why buy two Shine Sprays?" but I didn't realise I'd done it until later, I'm not worried though! I know I'll use them both and maybe I can do a Comparison post on them :-)
Last but not least I picked up the new Marie Claire magazine and this month they have a free L'occitane hand cream! I picked up the Original Shea :-)
So those are the lovely things I bought this week :-)
Have you found some great deals lately?

You've gone over your calories for the day or eaten something on your "forbidden" list. You figure that since you've blown your diet, you might as well keep on eating and start over tomorrow. You keep eating, but despise yourself for it.
You've done well all week, but the scale says you've gained a pound. You panic, feeling certain that you're doomed to be fat forever.
You set the alarm an hour early to exercise, but hit snooze. Feeling like a lazy slug, you wonder if you have any willpower to do what you know you need to.
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar to you?
The tendency to leap from minor, trivial problems to overblown, unrealistic conclusions is something that everyone struggles with to some degree. This type of negative thinking is one of the biggest reasons that people have difficulty sticking to their weight loss plan—and why small problems can cause stress and misery that is often avoidable.
Of course, there are dozens of deep, psychological reasons why individuals get caught up in this negativity. But you don't have to know why you do it to stop being negative. All you have to do is to take a close look at what you are actually doing and decide to stop doing it for that moment. Here are three techniques you can use to stop all those negative thoughts before they stop you:
1. Look for Hidden Thoughts and Assumptions
The process of moving from an event (like going over your daily calories) to a conclusion about the meaning of that event (I've blown my diet) and what you should do about it (keep eating, start over later), typically involves several more mental steps that you probably aren't aware of. Psychologists call these intermediate steps automatic thoughts because they are habitual, happen quickly, and feel so "right" to us that we don't even notice them.
Although you can't completely prevent automatic thoughts from occurring (after all, they naturally help us make good decisions in a hurry), these thoughts are not always accurate. Chronic negativity about yourself or your situation is a good sign that your automatic thoughts are inaccurate.
Luckily, it's not difficult to learn how to identify your automatic thoughts, figure out if they make sense, and change the ones that aren't working for you. The first step is to develop the habit of asking yourself: "What would have to be true in order for the negative conclusion I reached to be justified?"
For example, what would have to be true in order for going over your calorie limit to mean that you've "blown" your diet? Wouldn't it have to be true that your diet is a one-day event that requires a perfect performance on your part? You know that's not the case.
2. Learn to Argue with Yourself
Once you recognize some of your automatic thoughts, you can inspect them and, if necessary, argue with them. The flaw in the above example is pretty obvious: Permanent weight loss is not a short-term project, and doesn't require perfection. But sometimes the flaw or assumption won't be as obvious. If that's the case, then you may need to do some investigating.
Before you jump to conclusions or attack your own character, ask yourself a few basic questions:
3. Do What Doesn't Come Naturally
One reason that negative thoughts become so automatic and pervasive in our minds is that they are consistent with our typical feelings. If you find yourself jumping to negative conclusions about yourself, your abilities, and your options and opportunities, it's probably because that feels "right" and comfortable to you.
This doesn't mean you have to figure out why it feels "right" to feel bad about yourself. Again, you'll simply respond better to doing things differently, rather than spending hours rooting through emotional baggage.
Changing those negative thoughts and judgments into realistic and reasonable ones is going to feel uncomfortable and unnatural. In fact, feeling uncomfortable is probably a good sign that this is exactly what you need to be doing to get past your problems.
So when you're unsure about what the problem is, your best bet is to do what doesn't come naturally. When you find yourself arriving at a negative conclusion about you or your situation, stop thinking that and start thinking the exact opposite. If you're thinking that there's something fundamentally wrong with you, tell yourself the problem is in the situation—not in you—and look for ways to change the situation. If you think you're "doomed to be fat forever," tell yourself that success is unavoidable if you want it; if you're feeling like a "lazy slug," tell yourself that your "true self" really does want to exercise. You get the idea.
No matter how big, bad or scary the problem seems, you're always just one thought away from turning it into an opportunity for change, growth and progress. All you have to do is find that thought.

great Report
Absolutely great Report
I work on this in my mindfulness meditation. Report
Our own minds are sometimes our worst enemy... Report
I lost 50 pounds and then plateaued. Havent lost anything for like a month and I've started overeating and then losing it and then overeating again, etc. This needs to stop or I'll regain it again!!! Report
good advice. Report
I have been working on the one thing you mentioned. Eating one food over the calories for the day or something tempting I try to avoid and then eating more on top of that saying start again tomorrow. I have succeeded twice now. I only made "errors" twice in the two months since I have started back on track. Ordinarily I would have binged after one mistake so I am happy about this. After two months I have hit a plateau ,no loss for two weeks. My next goal is to stop making that scale number so important. I feel much better when I eat healthy and less, so I am focusing on that and trying hard to stay on track not seeing that number drop. You give such good advice. Thank you. Report

Holy crap; it's August. And while the thought of that is moderately terrifying (seriously, can someone please tell me where the time goes?), with a new month upon us, I'm serving up a new, amazing, #rebelmama for you to discover! This month, the honour has been given to the insanely talented, cake artiste extraodrinaire, Mme Yolanda Gampp, who you may recognize from her wildly popular YouTube channel, HOW TO CAKE IT, where she bakes and transforms cakes into the stuff that Pinterest dreams are made of. Want proof?
You can now pick your jaw up from off the ground …and meet Yolanda: cake decorator, TV star, YouTube sensation, but first and foremost, mama to her ultra sweet little man, Prince.
We working mamas know the immeasurable truth behind the statement "it takes a village" – who is in your "village" and how do they allow you to cake it like a boss?
Boy, does it take a village! My village is made up of my husband, David, me (duh), and my mother who is an extremely big help. She is with my son a whole lot. I love the way he loves her, and I feel blessed to witness that. Having a good group of friends that you can talk to without judgment is a big help as well.
Motherhood changes us – it's the nature of the beast. In what ways do you feel that motherhood has changed you?
Motherhood has forced me to slow down in many ways. It has also helped me make some major life decisions about what I really want, and what matters to me most. I sometimes chuckle to myself about things I used to find important, and things I used to fear. It really brings an entourage of new feelings with it. I am also quite a patient person, but motherhood will test you at times. I also feel the need to quote Faith Evans here and say, " I never knew there was a love like this before"!
With constant orders, a booming YouTube channel and a crazy soon-to-be-2-year-old booting around, how do you recharge your batteries so that you can maintain the insane amount of energy required to accomplish so much?
I actually had to cut back on orders greatly. It was all too much. Prince is 21 months now, and energetic is an understatement at this point. I try to maintain a healthy sleep pattern, and I like to get up an hour before him so I can sip my coffee and try to read something- anything! I've always been a morning person.
Anyone who watched you on SugarStars, or subscribes to your YouTube channel, or knows you personally, will agree that you are perky as hell! What's in your coffee, girl? ('Cause I want some)
Ha! I am not quite sure. The coffee helps, but there's just a bit of milk in it, I swear. Perhaps it's all the cake in my diet… I try to stay positive, and focus on what I am doing right. Motherhood forces you to juggle at all times for her. She is such a diva.
You are one driven #rebelmama – what's the next goal you've set your sights on?
My biggest goal is growing How To Cake It. I'm always thinking about taking it to the next level. I would also love a book deal. The thought of my work printed on paper is something I daydream about often.
What advice would you give a mom who questions her ability to balance dream-chasing and kiddo-raising?
Take it one day at a time. I felt like it was one hour at a time, at first. Dreams don't have deadlines, so don't stress yourself with that. Just know what you want and take the steps to achieve it, however slowly you make take them. When my son was really young, I would always think about what I wanted, and scribble down notes to myself. I believe in putting it out there.
Lastly, what does the term, #rebelmama, mean to you personally?
I think a #rebelmama is a woman who is authentic. Who is just trying to maintain herself, and follow her heart in the ever changing jungle of motherhood. She is open to growing and learning and being a mother in the best way she can, but she doesn't feel the need to conform just for the sake of it.

Good Sign Emerges for 2012 Housing
Tuesday, January 17, 2012 — We track hundreds of local housing market stats here, but one of my favorite (because you can't find it anywhere else, and because it's so insightful) is the Median Price of Newly Listed Properties.
It turns out that if you watch the prices of the properties that enter the market each week, you can get a real sense for the quality of the demand in a local market.
Also notable is that the spring housing market starts the second week of January. Like clockwork.
Realtors, it turns out, in aggregate are quite sensitive to where homes should be priced. They tend to price homes very close to where they'll sell. When they're sensing healthy demand, they price more aggressively. When they sense weakness, they'll price lower so the property will move. They're pretty clever, those Realtors. Here's what they're telling us today:
Price of Newly Listed Homes

The data-point we're looking at is at the far right side of the red line, that's the weekly number, for January 13, 2012. Notice every 2nd week of January we get an uptick. This year is a nice strong move above the recent trendline (that's the green). This move, while admittedly only one data point, is the very first signal of the new year.
It's not aggressively bullish, mind you. But it implies US home price stability through the first quarter. And that's encouraging.
Stay tuned.

Concerns have been raised about the consumption of palm oil related to the levels of saturated fatty acids in palm oil. Saturated fatty acids have been criticized because of their impact on cholesterol and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The relationship between nutrients and health however, is largely dependent on the total diet and lifestyle of a person. Blood cholesterol is impacted by the intake of fats, carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables, fiber and alcohol.In addition, blood cholesterol is affected by non-dietary risk factors such as physical activity, mental stress, obesity and smoking.In fact, these lifestyle factors may have greater impact on blood cholesterol and cardiovascular risk than moderate saturated fat intake.
A fatty acid is referred to as 'unsaturated' when there is one or more double bonds which give flexibility to the hydrocarbon chain. Saturated fatty acids do not have these flexible bonds. The term saturated fatty acid is often written in shorthand as SAFA. Similarly mono-unsaturated fatty acid, which has only one unsaturated bond, is written as MUFA. When a fatty acid has more than one unsaturated bond, it is called a poly-unsaturated fatty acid, this is abbreviated as PUFA. The more saturated the fatty acid, the less flexible are the bonds, making the fat more solid at room temperature.
The saturated fatty acids that circulate in our blood and that are stored in the adipose tissue our body, come from two different sources. Part comes from our diet and part is synthesised by the body itself from nutrients other than fat, namely carbohydrates and alcohol. The fats and oils that we consume with our diet are of animal or plant origin.
No. Saturated fatty acids, which are also produced by the body, are required for rather essential functions. Trans fatty acids are not made by the body and interfere with many enzyme functions in the body. Trans fats have been proven to be unhealthy as they raise LDL- and reduce HDL-cholesterol levels and increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease and possibly stroke.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) proposed in its Scientific Opinion (EFSA 2010) that the saturated fatty acid intake should be as low as possible. In addition, international food authorities (FAO) recommend that the consumption of saturated fatty acids should not exceed 10 per cent of the overall energy intake. National dietary expert panel recommendations of most EU member states (Germany, Netherlands, Nordic nations) are in line with the FAO recommendation.
Palm oil fits perfectly in a balanced and healthy diet. The body needs oils and fats every day. According to international and European food authorities fat should represent about 20 to 35 per cent of our daily energy intake. Fat is an important source of energy, it contains and facilitates the absorption of vitamins (A, D, E and K).
Palm oil has almost equal amounts of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Palm oil does not contain the highest levels of saturated fatty acids. Coconut oil, butter, palm kernel oil and cocoa butter have higher proportions of saturated fatty acids than palm oil.
Palm oil fits perfectly in a balanced and healthy diet. Concerns have been raised linking the consumption of palm oil with cholesterol and cardiovascular disease because of the high levels of saturated fatty acids in palm oil. However, the intake of saturated fatty acids is only one among many risk factors that impact cholesterol levels. Other risk factors include lifestyle factors such as physical activity, mental stress, obesity, smoking and alcohol consumption. These effects combined have a greater impact on the cholesterol level than moderate saturated fatty acid intake.
The relationship between nutrition and health must be considered in the context of the whole diet and the lifestyle of the person, and not only in terms of individual ingredients.

Children need to be looked after and cared for as much as possible, and this starts with preserving their health. When kids are growing they still have weak immune systems, and, as such, they are susceptible to a lot more illness and sickness. Because of this, their parents need to make sure they look after and protect their children.
There is quite a lot that people can do these days to look after their kids. It's important to protect children and keep them safe. Many people think this relates to protecting them from the dangers of the world. And this is certainly true, but, it's also important to protect children's health in ways they might not be able to do themselves.
Set a Good Example
The first thing it's important for a lot of parents to do is make sure they lead by example. Children are very impressionable and at a young age will look to their parents for influence. That's why it's important for the adults to set a good example. If they are unhealthy and not looking after themselves then the kids are going to pick this up. So, the first piece of advice to all parents is to make sure you lead by example at all times. Be a positive influence on the children and get them into good habits for the future.
Educating Them
It's also important to educate children these days. And this means talking to them about life experiences and the risks to their health. There are a lot of risks that kids will encounter, and as they get older, these risks will increase. Aside from the regular illnesses that everyone is susceptible to, there are other things as well. For instance, as children get older they will be exposed to sex, drugs, alcohol and smoking. And all of these can have an adverse impact on their health, and they need to be warned about the health risks.
Regular Trips to the Doctor
Another way in which moms and dads can help their children's health is with regular visits to the doctor. Monthly check-ups are important to make sure that everything is in order. It also means that any problems can be caught and treated as soon as possible. Taking the kids to the doctors on a semi-regular basis is a good way for parents to keep on top of their children's health. This is something that a lot of families need to try to make sure they do.
Look After Them When They're Sick
A parent's job is to look after their kids when they are sick. Part of the unwritten rule of being a mother is entering 'mommy mode' whenever one of the kids is unwell. It's important to nurse them back to health and try to make them feel better as soon as possible. Kids aren't used to being ill because they are young. So they might get quite upset at being unwell. That's why parents need to make sure they look after their kids and help them achieve a speedy recovery.
Making Sure They Don't Overdo It
It's common for kids to try to shake off illness, or feign being well. They don't like the idea of being prevented from doing what they want to do because they're unwell. But, this is where parents have got to step in and make sure their children don't overdo it. This is something that's very common and that kids try to do a lot. Some parents may need to implement the cruel to be kind approach. Stopping the children from overdoing it may not be a popular move, but it will help them to recover faster.
If a child has a more serious illness, they will probably be prescribed some medication. It's vital that they keep taking this on a regular basis. They have to remember to keep up with these if they're going to get well. Unfortunately, children don't prioritise things in the same way as adults. And a kid left in charge of their own medication is not going to have the discipline to take it when they need to. So their parents need to take charge of this for them and make sure they oversee the administering of medication.
Dental Work
It's also worth remembering that it's not just regular bodily health that needs to be looked at. It's also important for children to have healthy teeth and gums. While they are still growing their mouths are very important, so oral hygiene is crucial. Sites like https://www.deltadentalmo.com/ detail dental treatment plans. These are crucial for any future dental work that children may need. This is the best way of addressing a kid's oral health and ensuring they have strong and healthy teeth and gum.
Mental Health
Again, it's not just the physical side of a child's health that needs to be looked at. Mental health is also very important, perhaps even more so. Mental development is crucial for shaping kids into the people they grow up to be. Also, if a child has any mental difficulties, these need to be caught as early as possible. By doing this, parents can ensure that they have taken the right steps to look after the mental health of their children.
Feeding Them Properly
One of the key elements of preserving and nurturing a healthy lifestyle is the correct diet. Now, this is even more crucial for children because they are growing. It's imperative that parents instil a healthy eating philosophy in their kids. And this means making sure they have plenty of fruit and vegetables in their diets. It also means cutting out their intake of fatty junk food. If kids eat right at a young age, it will keep them much more healthy when they get older.
Parents have a duty of care to their children, and to looking after their children's health. Kids are naive and don't understand how the word or their bodies work. So it's up to their parents to look after them and preserve their health. This is important for all mothers and fathers to make sure they sort out. Children are the future, and they need to be protected. And their health is one of the most important things.

Walk Notes
Early Mornings
One aspect of most of the walks undertaken on this expedition along the South West Coast Path was the early morning starts. This is not a chore when camping as the body soon adapts to the natural sleeping and waking patterns determined by the hours of daylight. Maybe in younger days the enticement of darkness and late nights was something of a novelty but these days it is good enough to see the sun set and then turn in for the night. This gives a very restful sleep and slow awakening to a bright new morning as the sun comes up. If the sun doesn't act as a natural alarm call then the wildlife certainly will. At Porthleven we had a whole roost of noisy seagulls descend upon the camp site each morning.
Early starts enable a maximization of the hours with which to undertake a full days walking, especially when bus services do not always run in the evening. On this particular walk the planned schedule involved catching the 6.51am bus from Porthleven to Helston in order to connect with the Coverack bus 15 minutes later. This early hour was by no means the hectic scramble to get away that accompanies a normal working day. An hour preceding the departure time allowed plenty of time to attend to preparing for the day, brewing a cup of tea and a listening in to the local radio for a weather forecast.
Another aspect of an early morning is the tranquillity of the Cornish towns and villages when the weather is clement such as on this occasion. Blue skies and still air presented a peaceful scene whilst waiting for the bus opposite Porthleven harbour. We watched a hardy old seadog prepare his anchored fishing boat before he set out of the harbour, effortlessly sailing across the gentle swell of the calm sea. A few schoolkids gathered at the bus stop. Dog walkers sedately ambled by in no particular hurry.
We arrived at Coverack at 7:37 and this was even quieter and more peaceful than Porthleven. This really is the best time to wander through such an idyllic place. Blue sky. Blue sea. Silence other than the occasional calling from the seagulls and not a soul in sight apart from one passing gentleman who bid us a good morning.
Cliff falls
I think I am correct in stating that the year of 2012 was one of the wettest on record. Probably not usually associated with rain is the cliff erosion that it causes and there was plenty evidence of this on the coast path with numerous diversions reported on the South West Coast Path website. It is always worth while taking the time to research where these diversions are and then studying the alternative route to make sure ample time has been allowed.
Diversions should never be looked upon with derision and a hindrance to ones progress but something to embrace. There is always something to see or explore along the diverted route and sometimes the alternative path can bring more wonderment than the official route. On this particular occasion a diversion was encountered just outside Coverack as the path ascended steps out of the village. The official route led off to the left and was marked with a temporary post that held a A4 paper notice stapled to it which declared the diversion and the reasons why this was in place. The alternative route was marked out with regular markers that navigated along a higher route and rejoined the old path near Black Head. Starting out on this route, clarifying it on the OS map, we soon came upon a clearing that was nestled with a groups of large black sculptures, the sharp angled forms appearing to be representations of birds. This was completely unexpected as as there was nothing marked on the OS map, and no notices and signs to announce that we had entered The Terence Coventry Sculpture Park. This fact was subsequently discovered by consulting the world wide web which also detailed that this park usually contained 25 monumental sculptures depending on whether any were display at other venues. A most fascinating discovery.
A deceiving Distance
As the path rounds Treleaver Cliff just beyond Black Head, views of The Lizard come into view. To view the end of the walk after such a short distance of walking is quite amazing and thoughts came to mind of completing the journey before lunchtime. However, this is deceiving. Very deceiving. The distance is a lot further than it looks plus there are many climbs along the route. One thing I have made a habit of doing for most day walks is to mark the mileage points on the OS map as an indicator to the distance remaining. This takes a little forethought and planning, using googlemaps to plot the route out and then pencilling in each mile marker along the route on the OS map. The placement doesn't have to be dead accurate as it is merely an indicator as to the remaining distance. This method was learnt after many arduous hikes lugging a full backpack including camping equipment and assuming the distance was almost complete only to find that there was another couple of miles to traverse than expected. Therefore these days I thoroughly prepare for the walk, locating the relevant bus stops at the start and end of the walk, locating pubs if they are off route so as to calculate true walking distances, and over terrain such as the South West Coast Path, estimating the amount of climbs that need to be undertaken. This is marked in pencil on the OS map and enables a better idea of the remaining effort that is needed throughout the walk. This naturally determines the pace needed to keep to schedule and gives a rough estimation when there is sufficient time explore a little more. Therefore, despite viewing The Lizard this early on, consulting the map soon gave the revelation that the actual distance remaining was another 8 miles and certainly not the pushover that it appeared.
The walk is quite spectacular with regard to the scenery. There are a few climbs as the path negotiates the many coves along the route. Downas Cove, Kennack Beach, the charming Poltesco with the former Serpentine Works, and then the descent into Cadgwith which hides in a little Cove and cannot be seen until the path turns into the cove. This little village is the idyllic picture postcard view of a traditional Cornish fishing village unspoilt by modernity. It almost seems trapped in a timewarp. Thatched cottages perch on the hillsides. A small beach is full of fishing smacks, lobster pots, fishing nets and line. An old inn sits on the steep narrow road that leads to the heart of the village. Heading up the hill out of the village comes to an area known as The Todden, a large headland that separates the two beaches at Cadgwith. This has a grassed area with a few benches and proved an ideal spot to sit, rest and take in the views after a drink at the Cove Inn. It is a popular spot, as is all of Cadgwith which, although not swarming, had numerous people wandering around its narrow thoroughfares.
Just beyond the village is a cove and rock formation known as The Devils Frying Pan. This is a collapsed cave that has resulted in a small cove connected to the sea under a thick arch of rock and topped with turf. It is an impressive sight and in rough weather the sea in the cove appears to froth and boil which has been the source of the features name.
Judging by the number of folk we passed along the route after leaving Cadgwith, I would take a guess that most of the people we had encountered in the village had walked the distance from Lizard. All sorts and ages of people ambled along this grass covered route along the top of the cliffs. It seems a very popular walking route with the exceptional Cadgwith and the amazing Devils Frying Pan being worthy lures. Although the route described here continues round to The Lizard Lighthouse, there are alternative shorter routes to Lizard village through Church Cove and Housel Bay but these will miss more spectacular scenery together with views of the Lizard Lifeboat Station which sits in Kilcobben Cove, Lloyds Signal Station which is the oldest surviving purpose-built wireless communications station in the world, Bass Point lookout station and Housel Bay.
Maybe it was the decent weather. Maybe the blue skies. Maybe the clear views. Maybe the warmth in the air but all in all I have to say this is a fantastic walk and well worth striving to accomplish. Most thoroughly recommended.
The South West Coast Path is well defined by the distinctive acorn logo waymarkers.
The bus stop for Coverack is on the eastern side of the village necessitating in a walk along the road around the bay to Dolor Point. The path continues around this headland and then up the cliff. During this occasion there was a diversion in place around Chynhalls Point due to a cliff fall. The alternative route is temporarily waymarked and returns to the main route prior to Black Head.
The route beyond this is self evident throughout with regular way markers.
Cadgwith Cove Inn, Porthallow View in OS Map | View in Google Map

This 300 year old Inn sits centrally in the idyllic fishing village of Cadgwith and it remains unspoilt since the cove's old smuggling days. The bars are adorn with relics from the villages seafaring history. Bed and breakfast is available, pub food ranges from sandwiches and snacks, traditional pub fayre and full restaurant meals. A variety of Cornish ales are offered at this pub including examples from Sharp's and Skinners's breweries
An inviting pub worth searching out. The interior would have been worth perusing but on this warm day the courtyard in front of the pub was more enticing. The Skinner's Betty Stoggs ale really hit the spot after the mornings walk. This is a real thirst quencher. Skinners are becoming my Cornish beer of choice. As with most of these quaint Cornish pubs, I could stay for a few more ales but the walking schedule always forces us onward.
The Witch Ball, Lizard View in OS Map | View in Google Map
- Address
- Lighthouse Road, Lizard
- Website
- www.witchball.co.uk/
Although the building dates from the 1400's, it has only been uses as a pub and restaurant for the last 50 years. Before this time it was a farm. The pub is said to be haunted by the ghost of a stable lad by the name of George who was killed when a horse kicked him in the head in 1710. He is reputed to move things around. Another ghost of a soldier named Ferdinand is also said to haunt the bar. He was said to be a soldier who was washed up on the shore from a Spanish invasion fleet which foundered in a storm in October 1597.
The name of the pub is taken from the hollow spheres of plain or stained glass hung in cottage windows in 18th century England to ward off evil spirits which were known as Witch Balls. It is said that if a visitors reflection could not be seen in the ball then that person was either a witch or was possessed by evil spirits and should not be allowed across the threshold. The pub has an example of such an artefact which hangs in the restaurant window and dates from 1721.
Beer is supplied by the local Cornish Chough brewery as well as Skinners of Truro and St Austells. A simple but mouth watering menu uses locally caught crab and lobster. locally sourced meat and even the bread is baked at Fat Jacks next door.
Another delightful pub and the Heligan Honey ale from Skinners brewery was a real thirst quencher. Hoppy but with the distinct honey essence. Another pub I could sit and drink a few pints. The pub was very busy and sitting outside was not only the preferred option but the only option!
Poltesco Serpentine WorksView in OS Map | View in Google Map
The trench in front of you is the wheel pit of the 25ft waterwheel which once powered the machinery in the serpentine works housed in the stone buildings by the beach. Made at Toy's foundry in Helston, the wheel was fed by a leat running from a dam by Poltesco Farm 150 yards inland. Established in 1855, the Lizard Serpentine Company employed 20 men and 3 boys, producing polished stone for decorative purposes such as church fonts, shop fronts, mantle-pieces and vases. Flat-bottomed barges ferried these from the quay to schooners waiting offshore. The three-storey building still standing was used as a warehouse, and other buildings housed two machine shops, offices, stores, a forge and a showroom. In 1866 the factory was converted to steam power, with a boiler house and a chimney added, and an engine room in the centre of the factory. The water wheel powered the smaller tasks, while the steam was used for heavier jobs such as sawing and surfacing. When the factory closed in 1893 the water wheel was converted for chaffing (chopping up straw for animal feed), but it was scrapped in 1917, requiring a team of 24 horses to haul it up the cliff track.
Lizard Lifeboat StationView in OS Map | View in Google Map
The lifeboat Station that sits at Kilcobben Cove is impressive due to its location in this remote and rugged setting. The boathouse sits at the bottom of a 140ft cliff which can be reached either by a flight of 200 steep steps or a funicular railway which is used by the crew. The station was formerly opened on 7 July 1961 by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. In 1988 both the station and slipway were modified for the arrival of a Tyne class lifeboat named David Robinson. In 2010 the station was rebuilt to accommodate the Tamar class lifeboat named Rose.
Lizard LighthouseView in OS Map | View in Google Map
The hazardous waters off Lizard Point have always been a danger to ships navigating up the English Channel and a lighthouse to warn of the perilous rocks was first constructed in 1619 by Sir John Killigrew, a member of the powerful Killigrew family who controlled much of Cornwall during the 16th and 17th centuries. This tower lasted until 1630 when funds could not be generated for its running and maintenance.
A new lighthouse was built in 1751 and consisted of two towers with cottages between them. Trinity House too over the running of the lighthouse in 1771 and was manned up until 1998 when the station was automated. Originally both towers were lit, but from 1903 only the eastern tower remained in use.
In 2009 the Lizard Lighthouse Heritage Centre was opened in the former Lighthouse engine room. This features the original engines plus a variety of interactive exhibits and displays designed to demonstrate the history if the lighthouse, its keeper and the role it played in keeping passing ships safe.
Lloyds Signal StationView in OS Map | View in Google Map
This white walled turreted building is the oldest surviving purpose-built wireless communications station in the world. The station was constructed in 1901 following Marconis proposal to connect Britain and the USA by wireless. Another station located at Poldhu on the western side of The Lizard was the primary station and Lloyds was to check the Poldhu test transmissions.
The station has been used as a RAF officers mess during WWII and as a holiday home. In 1993 restored to its original condition and includes replicas of the Marconi wireless equipment.

Lubrication is a critical part of any industrial application. Equipment have to be properly lubricated to ensure optimum performance and prevent damage. Industrial grease is one of the most commonly used lubricant products. It is applied on bearings, bushings and other applications in which a lubricating oil is unable to remain in position.
A problem that often comes up with grease application is overgreasing. Overgreasing is what happens when too much grease is applied on the lubrication point. This can cause serious and costly problems. Too much grease can result to increased operating temperatures, collapsed seals and higher energy consumption for electric-powered equipment.
The excessive volume of grease increases the pressure within the cavities of bearings and between gears. This leads to higher temperature and more energy required to power the mechanical components as the increased pressure hinders movement of components. If left unattended, this can lead to equipment failure.
Increased oil bleed is another effect of overgreasing. The heat and pressure squeezes out the base oil from the thickener. As the thickener becomes devoid of oil, it can harden and create a solid buildup that can prevent oil from reaching the components that require lubrication. This can lead to increased wear of the mechanical components.
A proper maintenance program is necessary to avoid the problems caused by overgreasing. Calculations must be performed to determine the right amount of grease to be applied and the ideal frequency for grease reapplication.
