Put my new St Pirran's flag on the camper when we got home. Just a bit of fun, but blends well with a metallic grey van. 😂

Early morning at beautiful Cawsand. The sun disappeared behind grey clouds but we still swam for 4 hours. 😊🏊‍♀️ #outdoorswimmer #openwaterswimming #marathonswimming

From the 8 mile Torbay swim, Saturday 12th July. It was a tad too hot for this marine mammal!

How strange. I was thinking just this on my walk this afternoon, when I took this.
Two paths through the woods, leading ahead on either side of a tree.

What a beautiful, sunny walk today. Birdsong aplenty and a couple of my favourite views, the bridges over the Tamar and Antony Passage from Jupiter Point.

I don't usually use Google. I use DuckDuckGo, but this is important. Don't try the maps. You can see the dots here.
First page when asking Google about Gulf if Mexico. Three little dots to right of bracketed, incorrect, moronic alternative name.
