Port Issac - August 20, 2016

So, we are fans of the British show Doc Martin. If you haven't seen it, you should look it up. Well, if you like British humor. Preston's parents are fans as well. In the show, the seaside village of Portwenn and it's people are center stage. We wanted to drive through Cornwall to visit the real village of Port Issac where it is filmed. 

It's a really old fishing village. It was cold and rainy, in August(!), but so fun to explore!

The tide is out.

Sam and Kaylie came with us. Kristy and Miles stayed back with all the other kids. 
They are both making funny faces.

The church that is a school in the show.

The Doc's house and surgery(which is a doctor's office in the UK).
Lots of crowds, we really had to jump in to take a quick photo.

 

Scary story! Kaylie and Sam were standing on a small ledge directly across from the surgery while we took some photos(see photo of Sam above). All the sudden she slipped backwards off the ledge. I was standing on the ground close by so I grabbed her hand. She continued to slip and was very scared and said, "Help me!" I was nervous as well but I had to get my footing before I could pull her all the way up. Sam helped as well. She was okay, but was quite shaken up and scratched up from the bushes and stinging nettle plants she fell into. Later I took the photo below and showed Kaylie how she was on a cliff. Luckily, the bushes were there to slow down her fall. The bushes also hid the fact that she was standing on the cliff edge. We learned to watch out for that in the future! That made for an exciting day!

Mrs. Tishell's Pharmacy.

Just a lovely house I liked!

This is the Police Station 

Tintagel Castle Ruins, overlooking the sea.
It was really stormy at this point, so the photos aren't very good.
We just jumped out of the car and took a quick peek.
