Creekside

On Tuesday we went off to explore the creeks between Truro & Falmouth.
Starting at Miss Peapods in Penryn, which is where Sal & Ryan live...

And they joined us for brekkie...

We all decided to have the veggie fry-up...

And this was the view from where we ate!

Then the two of us went off to Mylor...

With all it's posh yachts!

We had a walk along the beach...

Which was lovely & quiet...

Last time we visited here - we saw Roger Taylor from Queen.
He was walking around with a bottle of champagne...

Then we called at Restronguet - where we followed the river...

And came across some houseboats... 

It's been another dream of ours to live on a boat...

This one's recently travelled to France!

We were also hoping to visit one of Cornwall's famous pubs - The Pandora Inn... 

But it recently had a fire & looks to be taking a while to rebuild...

Such a shame...

The jetty is still intact - though there's no access.
It's lovely sitting at a table on there - look forward to it re-opening at Christmas!

A hot & hazy day...
We're having fantastic weather again!

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b...

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca...

Getting Back To basics

Image
We've had another very busy week, but we are very happy to be escaping for a few days. We decided that as it's our Silver Wedding Anniversary on Monday, we should do something a bit different... So we're going to be staying in a yurt on Bodmin Moor! It's going to be wonderful... No computer. No phone. No work. Just time to chill out, enjoy some moorland walks, eat, drink, be merry & have lots of fun!!! See you when we get back. Kay & Sime xx
