St Michael’s Mount

Wednesday, 17th June 2015 Hello Usually our walks don’t follow much of a plan – we just get up and decide where to go over breakfast.  For our Wednesday walk this week a plan was necessary! You can’t go to St Michael’s Mount without knowing in advance what the tide is doing.  Well, you can – but then you chance having to get on a very small boat in very choppy seas with lots of potentially sea sick people.  We’ve done this and believe me its no fun!

Cape Cornwall and Cornish Mining History

Monday, 15th June 2015

Hello,

Well, hasn’t it turned out to be a lovely day….it has in this part of the world anyway!

We went west today, down to Cape Cornwall – the only headland in England referred to as a ‘cape’ apparently. We used directions from iWalkcornwall.co.uk which, as always, were thorough with some very interesting information included. Didn’t stop us getting lost though…on the way back we got confused, took a wrong turn and ended up back on the coast path. Continue reading →

Hello

Well, as it was forecast to be wet and windy we decided to go for a quick walk along the coast path around Falmouth and then pop into town for lunch.  Wrong on all counts! Continue reading →

Hello

I hope you all like the new blogsite; blood, sweat and tears were shed in the setting up, but here it is all fresh and new.

For the Wednesday walk we went to St Erth and followed instructions from iWalkCornwall.co.uk – we took a couple of wrong turnings but made it back safe and sound nonetheless!   Continue reading →

Blog Problems Update

Hi Guys

If you’ve been here lately you’ll know that I’ve been trying to improve the look of the blog and in the process caused some issues with photos!  Hopefully they’re getting resolved now and you like the new look….

I’m aware there are some photos in the archives that aren’t showing up – I’m working on it.  Meanwhile new posts should appear perfectly!

Let me know what you think.  We’re walking today so should be posting tonight or tomorrow.

Have a good day.

A Rickety Ramble around Coverack

Monday 8th June 2015 Hello Lovely day today!  Summer I think! We decided to take a walk around Coverack as Mr RR is on the hunt for driftwood and sometimes has some luck along this coast.  We walked here back in April – starting off with ice-cream if you remember.  We didn’t do that today though, just set off for the coast with sun in our faces and a light breeze to keep us cool. Unfortunately I was feeling extra rickety today, having spent yesterday altering curtains and making cushion covers (yes – they look lovely!). Continue reading →

Hello all

Well, what a sun shiny and exciting day it’s been.

In fact, I was so excited by an email that I opened when I got back from todays walk and started to upload the photographs – that I totally forgot myself and deleted all the photos from the camera before I’d actually imported them to the computer!!!!  Oh no! I hear you scream – that’s not what I said, I can tell you!  I was having palpitations!  I didn’t know whether I should stop worrying about it and be excited (about my email) or cry – from a mixture of excitement and frustration!  I ran in to Mr RR who was having a quiet sit down and shouted OMG guess what I’ve done?  And then….before he’d even gathered his wits to ask what was going on …..I had a brainwave.
