Jopsy, don't say that OH will get all nostalgic about his army drill sargeant and the morning PT sessions.

Anyway I thoght PT was a declining subject, what with having to wear jumpers in case the summer sun burnt the skin and all those risks.



Yes I do know what yo meant by PT.

Jopsy, has Old H been in contact yet?? If not, has he appeared on the local news/in the local press? I'm sure the whole county has been on standby for weeks, preparing for his visit!

Jopsy, looks like the font described as "Tiny" escaped you on my previous post.

That, or like me you are due an eye test.! :?

Will have to shut down computer now. Get ready for my trip abroad. A friend of mine says that Cornwall isn't abroad so I want to know why I have to bribe the border guards when I come back over the bridge!!!

Hello my lovers, gosh it's nice to be back.
I don't really know where to start, but i suppose it has to be calling in at Jopsy's for breakfast. I was there dead on 10am, but there was that much smoke coming from her kitchen window that i am afraid that i drove straight passed. :shock: :wink:
The cottage i had was marvelous, it had an upstairs lounge with a balcony that looked out over the bay to St Ives, a truly breathtaking veiw especialy at night when i could see the lights twinkling across the bay. The other two things that really stand out were two absolutley stunning sunsets, and on friday was the dolphins coming into the bay for about half an hour, i won't forget either in a long time.
Thats all the soppy stuff out of the way, now lets get down to the good bits.
But if you think i'm going to tell you about them tonight your wrong. :wink:
I was well behaved most of the time though. :shock:
I see you have all had a busy week as i was making merry, so i better get stuck in tomorrow and catch up. Got to go now and take some sweetwilliams to someone. :wink:

Kind regards the Old Herbaceous.

When i'm not fishing i'm mending my nets.

Herby I wondered where you'd got to!
The smokes always like that when I'm in the kitchen :wink:
I too visited st Ives on Friday/Saturday-DH was working there-so lily and I cadged a lift!
The weather was glorious, Food fab (The Seafood Cafe, Old Lifeboat House Restaurant) and a delightful time was had by all (even the B & B overlooking the beach was nice!) I was told off in the Tate because my 'phone went off-I never even carry it with me usually! :oops:
Herby you should have stayed 'til saturday and visited the Mazy day at Penzance-it was fab!Lily danced with the samba band!
Glad you had a good time, nice to see you back
Jo
