Penzance & Marazion

Start the day with the obligatory cuppa. It’s a beautiful sunny day. It’s still freezing in our room at the back of the house as our radiators appear to be broken. We all congregate in the front of the apartment as the view is stunning and its lovely and warm. Our large dining table isContinue reading “Penzance & Marazion”

Monsoon Season

This morning is chilly and dull with heavy rain. We do not let this deter us. We are British!!! We rush around and get ready to leave at 10am sharp. Sadly Richard did not understand plain English & we had to wait for him to make some work calls missing two Mousehole buses which weContinue reading “Monsoon Season”

Another Silly Sunday

Easter Sunday begins with tea in bed. Dear Roger does make a fab cuppa. We all relax over breakfast of cereals and coffee whilst watching the tide flow into the harbour reaching the base of our property. It’s a beautiful sight & sound. The sun is shining. Later the boys pop out to the deliContinue reading “Another Silly Sunday”

Welcome to Mousehole…….

We arrive bright eyed and busy tailed after our overnight journey on the GWR. A large taxi with a jolly driver dressed in shorts and a t shirt is waiting outside the station to take us to The Old Coastguards Inn where Janet has booked breakfast. We receive a warm welcome by a young teamContinue reading “Welcome to Mousehole…….”

Pissed before Diss

Janet Olly & Richard pick us up in a large taxi. We catch the London train from Thorpe station at 7pm. We have all brought alcohol mainly gin! This speaks volumes about the expectations of the next few days. Roger pours “R” measures, thankfully Olly brought some tonics. Two very strong gins before Diss andContinue reading “Pissed before Diss”

Thursday continues

After a libation with the crowd in the hotel bar we meet in reception for our coach trip. Several guesses about our secret destination reveal we are probably going to the Flight Club in Victoria. Sure enough the coach pulls up by Victoria station and we walk a short distance to the Flight Club. IContinue reading “Thursday continues”

I’m Back!

After a break from writing I’ve decided to pick up my pen- or in this case my finger and write about our current mini London trip. It’s slightly more challenging writing on my phone than typing on my laptop or iPad so apologies for mishaps!!! We have had an amazing busy summer since our fabulousContinue reading “I’m Back!”

Rescheduled 50th Birthday treat.

So in 2019 I purchased 4 platinum tickets to see Queen & Adam Lambert at O2 as a 50th birthday gift for son in law Gary! The original date was June 2020. Along comes covid so that date was rescheduled for 4th June 2021. I initially panicked as that’s our son James 50th birthday andContinue reading “Rescheduled 50th Birthday treat.”

Tuesday 31st May. San Diego to New York.

Up, showered and packed we check out of the Staypineapple hotel and catch an Uber a short distance to the airport. We are in good time so grab a coffee bagel each. Through security very promptly as it’s a domestic flight. A wander around this large airport, not particularly crowded but interesting to watch. OurContinue reading “Tuesday 31st May.
