The sunny weather is continuing here on Bute and, while the day started off cold and windy, once the wind died down to nothing, it became quite warm, with my car registering 18.5 degrees this afternoon. I’m in the part of Scotland which will have the best of the sunny weather over the next few days too. Hooray! Continue reading
Yesterday I drove up to the Roseland Peninsula. Although just a mile from Falmouth, because of the river mouth it is 30 miles by road. Unfortunately the public transport links don’t quite link up with where I need them to in this part of Cornwall, compared to down on the Lizard or further towards Land’s End – more careful planning of walks needed in future.

Yesterday I met up with my cousin Charlotte at a National Trust tea room in Runnymede, close to the Thames Path and not far from Windsor. Continue reading

As I write, I’ve once more lost the comfy chair as it is now occupied by the cat, who jumped out of nowhere after I parked and was at the front door before I was! Continue reading
The end of my first full day in Cornwall – and what a lovely day it has been. I chose the right week to go away. The Sun has been shining and I felt like I was in Greece today. I even took my shirt off on the beach – shock horror! Continue reading
It has been a bit of a strange day today…. I drove today from Cirencester to Cornwall’s Lizard peninsular and the roads were extremely quiet. While driving I was listening to the Queen’s funeral on BBC Radio 4. Continue reading
