If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

182/365 Things we learned in Charlestown

July 1, 2013 By Ellen

It’s impossible to go to any beach and stay dry. It’s impossible to go to a beach and not throw stones. It’s probably best to pick a non-beach picnic spot if you want anything to get eaten.

181/365 Flapping around in Mevagissey

June 30, 2013 By Ellen

We missed Mevagissey Feast Week by a day, but it didn’t matter. Mevagissey proved to be a feast for the senses… We tangled with pedestrians and traffic in the narrow streets for a few minutes before retreating to a car park to recover.

178/365 Shap Chippy: Fish for tea

June 27, 2013 By Ellen

      School’s out for summer and we were off to see Supergran. She suggested we make a visit to Shap Chippy – the latest venture of her chums Jo and George. And, oh my goodness, what a jolly good fish supper! Can I also suggest you try their own smoked sausage. And try […]

177/365 holiday contingencies covered

June 26, 2013 By Ellen

Funny how the nearer we get to the relaxing, chilled bucket-and-spade bonanza, the more stressed I get. I’m assembling essential stuff and these items are on top of the pile.   Posted with Blogsy
