  • Widmouth and Boscastle

    A rainy day in Cornwall, so it was an easy day watching waves from the car at Widmouth bay. A quick drink at the Wellington Hotel in Boscastle – an interesting building – the first floor bears the high-tide mark of the flooding that hit Boscastle in 2004. It is impossible to imagine how water…

    Castles and Friends

    Saturday I had a relaxing breakfast and caught up with some work before my friends from Liskeard arrived. We’d agreed to meet and tour Pendennis Castle an English Heritage castle on the Falmout headland. A relaxing day wondering the old buildings, dodging the showers, and examining the castle’s role in our nation’s defense since Tudor…

    Friday morning and I was catching up on a few customers, and met a friend for lunch. In the afternoon I was off to Falmouth to meet some friends on Saturday. Booking into the Falmouth Hotel, I had a relaxing evening just catching up on some work and chilling out in the pool. A peaceful…

    Cornwall Bound

    Thursday, and I was catching a train to Cornwall to catch up on some work and meet some filming friends. The train journey went well, and I arrived back in Liskeard to some Cornish sunshine. Despite the rain, I was able to squeeze in a few jobs and sell a laptop before camping at my…

  • New Location

    New Location

    Tuesday 6th found us once more packing a house, and preparing for our next house. The contrast between our Forest Row depolyment and Woking could not be more stark. Forest row was a 1930’s managerial house built on the side of a hill. It’s long corridor and stately style rooms fun and intriguing. Woking, the…

    Return to Familiar Haunts

    Been rather quite on the blog front for January – our adventures continue, but we were returning to familiar locations. For the first part of January we were in Dunbar, Annabel looking after her sister’s shop, and me, well I looked after the lovely labarador Lottie. Lottie and I had some great walks on the…

    Cold strikes

    I don’t deal with them very well, – waking today with all the signs of a cold. Annabel took Lottie for a walk, and we then agreed for an easy day in the house – we both have busy weeks ahead. Day spent catching up on work, and trying to fight of this bug.

    Rounders

    We have moved to Dunbar and Annabel’s sister’s house, where we are looking after Lottie the lab. Having shared a few drinks the night before, no one was in a real rush to move, however, while Annabel’s sister and family packed for their holiday, Annabel and I got on with a few bits of work,…

    We have spend a couple of days catching up with Annabel’s mum, dad, sisters and puppy. A very peaceful couple of days, before we start our new dog sit with Lottie, a lovely black lab, belonging to Annabel’s sister.

    Motorways and Rain

    Tuesday 2nd found us packed and leaving Forest Row – a place we had enjoyed, and thankfully have been invited back to look after the dogs next door. This meant an easier loading of the car than normal and a slow journey up north – another storm making the journey one of rain, spray and…
