All by myself

This blog relates to Sunday. 

My first night in three weeks in a bed with a pillow... and i couldn't sleep! Even with chemical and alcohol assistants i was still wide awake at 2am: thats what i call ironic.

Walked to Polmear today: an easy walk of about 4 miles. I then caught the bus to Fowey. Fowey is a quaint, Georgian harbour. Very pretty, lots of steep narrow streets and very, very touristy. Fowey’s most famous resident was Daphne du Maurier who lived and wrote about the area. References to her work can be found everywhere in and around the town. The other famous local resident is Dawn French who lives in a grade II listed a mansion with 40 rooms overlooking Readymoney Cove  (i knocked but there was no one home). 

Spent the evening in Charlestown looking for Aidan Turner (Poldark), but according to the current episode he's in France looking for the doctor. 

Fitbit records: 17,704 steps, 7.77miles and 39 flight of stairs. 

Its been a quiet day on my own. 

Photo's of Charlestown and my harbour hotel, followed by two of Fowey estuary:

    Loved Fowey when we went. Poldark is back from France now, so he should have been in.

Talland Bay to Downderry

This blogs relates to Friday.  Woke up this morning to... yes, you've guessed it: rain! Despite the miserable weather we thought we would go for it and walk.  There were lots of very, very steep ascents today, especially between Looe and Seaton: crikey they were steep. The path was a mix narrow cliff paths, woodlands, meadows and road walking.  The weather remained thickly overcast, with drizzle throughout. During the afternoon it got quite blustery. The forecast for the next few days are good.  Looe was a nice place, a very pretty estuary town. I imagine during the holidays the place is very popular. East Looe has a nice, big beach and easily accessible. After a quick cuppa tea we pressed on to up, up, up the hills to Seaton, finally ending todays walk in Downderry.  Like Looe i imagine that Seaton, Downderry and the other coastal villages are very busy during holidays, but sadly they all seem outdated. Maybe it was due to the dull, grey day, but Seaton and Dow...

Waiting for Colin

This blog relates to Monday.  Today consisted of me waiting for Colin and the motorhome to drive from Cambridge to Charlestown.  It was a nice day: light cloud (hot at times) and slight breeze (chilli at times). I hung around outside the hotel which gets busy with tourists. Struck up a few conversations: Met a couple from Newmarket on holiday with their two dogs - they don't like the narrow, single track roads! Spent the day reading a second hand book: a thriller set in Cambridge. Maybe my next 'ambition' (not challenge) should be writing a book!  Hooray... Colin and the motorhome arrived, how lovely. All is good in the world.  Fitbit records: 10,942 steps, 4.8 miles, and 23 flight of stairs.  Photo's are a selection of my attempts at arty shots over the last few weeks, and by the way Pete i found Poldark in Charlestown.
