Well, shortly after going to Cuba, me and the missus were able to have a quick Cornish break to the seaside - Hayle, to be precise...
This was the land of my Summer Holiday, we seemed to end up coming back here at least once a year for our family break, for at least 10 straight years.
Ah, kite flying, swimming and running around a lot. This time round, it was more about food and having a nice sit down, a definite sign of age.
Cornwall has a great backdrop of history involving pirates, smuggling, shipwrecks and cornish pasties. Even when it rains you can have a nice walk on the beaches or watch the sea for hours. Hence a water / nautical theme for this holiday blog. First off are three songs by the Baka Pygmies, who actually play the water like drums. It's an amazing sound and you should definitely check out their album. Here are three songs by them. Water Drums - 1
Nursery Rhyme Next is a wonderful sea shanty tale from The Decemberists. This really makes me think of the coast and I love the accordion noises. The Decemberists - The Mariner's Revenge Song Here's a couple of loosely themed songs... Enjoy. Apologies if you don't like the WMA format - you can always change it though... PJ Harvey - Down By The Water
