Ì suppose i had better get up.

 

[Dirk]

Jeez we're having some rain!
Getting up in a bit to start loading the animals, two by two, into the caravan.

Good morning from a chilly Coventry, dry at the moment but rain and high winds forecast for later, it doesn't look nice at all, my bike ride has been postponed until Saturday, I'll nip over to Hatton later in the car.

Got to nip in to Helston this morning to stock up on supplies, then off to look at a couple of Bronze Age hill forts.
There's a vague possibility that I might be dragged into a local hostelry for a spot of lunch later.

Not much dragging required I suspect!

View from van window. Will walk the coastal path to Tintagel, about two miles. Very lumpy!

Staying here another night I think. Weather not great, cold but some blue sky and the rain has gone for now.

Its been a very long time since I was last in Tintagel, thirty five years or more.

The Old Post Office in Tintagel is worth a look.

Morning all, I am waiting for the expected rain to arrive. A bit cool at the moment. Today will consist of finalising a trip to Sri Lanka for next spring. It is MrsP's 60th next march so we are going on safari and wildlife watching in Sri Lanka, along with some RnR on the beach. Tonight we are at a quiz night and during the day , all the usual things like dog walking, domestics and so on.

Yes, and they are building a new causeway footbridge to it apparently.

It's trying to snow here.

I got dragged in to the Halzephron Inn at Gunwalloe. Nice sarnie and chips.
Beer's not too bad either....

Well, decision made. Saw the consultant yesterday and I’m now on the waiting list for two total knee replacements!! Long waiting list though.
