Friday 1 July 2011 End of June already – time is flashing by! We had lovely weather today for our open air bus trip around the city. We set off around 9.40am with the route starting near the Roman Baths, heading down towards the railway station, heading up towards the higher part of the city, along in front of Royal Crescent (buses are not allowed to go along there) and back along the opposite side of the city along Milsom Street (shopping haven) and back to...

Thursday 30 June 2011 Come back Mary all is forgiven! Stu you will be pleased to know that Mary reasserted herself today and expertly led us to Bath!

Our B&B is perche...

The trail runs alongside the river and as we started out the river was but a trickle. As the day progressed the tide poured in and on the way home the view was en...

27 June 2011 Driving today from Pentewan to Wadebridge via Bodmin with Bodmin being the coffee stop! Not far from Pentewan we went through a small village called London Apprentice – sort of makes you wonder how this village was named as I wouldn’t have thought that apprentices had money enough to purchase in this neck of the woods. We woke to sunny skies and thought oh great another lovely day but, as predicted, this soon turned to fog and then misty drizz...
