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
