Brixham
Well good afternoon, I'm sitting at Brixham harbour, lookin out at the sea and the
wonderful boats, the whole set up and the way the place is run and organised is wonderful,
They r really looking after the fishermen as well as the people that won't to come and
enjoy. A lot of places could learna a lot from here, holyhead for example!!
Its another warmish day, hot but overcast, not good witha head like mine, mind u I love it
whn the sun isn't too strong I am very light sensitive, so when I'm in direct sun light
its not nice, which is y more often than not, I will wearing a hat and sitting in the shade or the car!!
Mac, treacle and milo r all well, loving the change of scenary, and enjoying the play on beaches and feilds :),
its not so much fun When they can't runa bout at the campsites, but thewy find away to amuse themselves, mac had taken to tidying! Well he thinks he is, I will put thing where I won't it in the care, and he will move it to somewherew alse and replace it with another thing, its very fun to watch.
Right I had better go and find lunch, not sure what we r having today, but I will find something I'm sure :)
Take care all

fish, boats, oil and coliflower
Hi all, its been a manic but good couple of days :), mummy is still ploddig on, determined that her knee will not slow her down. Though it is obvilous to me how bad it is,
We have been at a good campsite lovely people, which is wonderful.
Been looking at some of the harbous round here, wow there really some wonderful fishing boats down here, with proper fishermen, I'm not sure
What a proper fishman looks like but I'm sure that I have a few, and I rekon they live of fish lol.
Gertie isn't doing to well, we r nursing her along, she has decided that reverse is horrid and won't use it unless she has been. Sitting quietly for a while! She is bleeding too, a lot, but we will keep going she an important paqrt of this trip :)
I was wheeling round the supermrket the otherday wondering what I was going to cook for mummy, I thought veg would b nice, sitting in front of me was a massive pile of white and green, coliflower siTting looking at the them, I just couldn't work out how to make them taste nice, so opted for cougettes instead lol.
See ya all soon, there plenty of room ingertie is any one feels like joining us, this is the kind of time ur more than welcome and to be honest needed.
Take care

absense and catch up
good morning good people, i havent written my blog in a little while and im sorry for that.
I lot has happened since i last wrote, ad then agin a lot hasnt! we had a lvoely visit form my uncle, that was great cos it also meant that there was an extra persomn for my birthday.
We have seen some amazing sights, some incredible places, lots of walkers, cyclists and dogs.
We are 2/3 of the way into the walk now, which is incredible, and you know one of the hardest things of all........finding accessible campsites that say they are, almst every four days we are having to search the area for somewhere to stay, its a waste of petrol and energy. Surely someone checks these sites when they say they are accessible, or maybe they have a manual to go on, what ever is happening its not working at all. i dont want to moan about them but they really do leave me with no choice!!
when we were on the lizard, a few weeks back now, i drove into Helston to try and find a shop to get us some lunch, i was being pestered byu a car that had let me cross, a lady wanting to stand where i was going...you know the sort of thing....so i didnt see the massive ditch that was sitting all the way down the high street next the curb, so in gertie went with a bang, luckily for me though i have four wheel drive so i still had three wheels to get me out of the situation!!! you can imagine what i was saying and thinking at the time! It was helped by some ladies (i use the word lightly) starring making comments on the situation. As you can imagine i left pretty quickly!!
Nothing else like this has happened, which gerie is very happy about!! gertie and have been seen driving backwards and forwards up streets turning in loittle spaces and peering through crevaces....and the reason fo this besides nosiness is the search for a disabled loo, in these small cornish and devonian villages if there is a disabled loo, then its oftern in the most strange of places, there for the search must begin!!
there has been a major development, for those that know me well you will know that i DO NOT eat breakfast, well i have news, i know eat breakfast, and with orange juice no less!! This is big for me so i htought i should share it with my devoted followers!
So let me bring you up to date, we have done Penwith, Lizard, remote unknown villages, harbours that fit a single boat, beaches suitbale for royalty, campsites that should be burnt tp the ground and others that should be given an extra star. We have seen birds of all description, fish freshly caught and still swimming, seals lazing on the beach, people walking, people talking, people smiling and laughing, people doing silly things, dogs, dogs barking, dogs eatting, dogs playing, fishing boats, big boats and little boats, dingys, jet skis and ferrys. We have seen the police on foot, on bike, in the car and on sea. Fishermen in the pub, eatting a pasty and working on there colourful boats, harbours with hundreds of little boats, harbours with big expensive boats, and massive Navy boats filling harbours. We have passed navy, marine and RAF, watched helicopters, gazed at marines, and loved big navy warships. We have seen things people shouldnt see, we have laughed at things that shouldn;t be laughed at, we have cried when it hurt and giggle when it felt good, the smell of baking fills the villages, pastys and bread, fish and chips winging there way out tighly clasped in the hands, bringing with them the hunger making smell, fresh fish coming in on the boats filling the air with a fresh scent and smell the most amazing smell, the sea,the seaweed crashing against the roacks, the sand and the walls. We have done nearly 450 miles of the most amazing, differing coastline in the world. but we still have a way to go, more of the same and a lot of new and amazing sights smells and thoughts.
Untill the next have a good one
