Penzance vintage bus day is quite the event. Really busy with people. Had no idea they ran so many buses, on so many routes, for free.
Gorgeous weather to ride around the scenic west of #Cornwall

Wandered up a china clay spoil tip today, with son No. 1., seeing what our #meshtastic radio could reach. Quite a bit, thanks to some people with strategically positioned nodes on amongst the hills of mid-Cornwall.

Exciting! My talented wife @pollywaffle.bsky.social now has an Etsy shop for the things she makes at the Flookan ceramics hub here in St Austell.

Only threw away my 64MB Crucial Gizmo a couple of years ago. What a revolution that thing was vs floppies.

Totally failed to be properly prepared for the mud while attempting to walk from Penryn to the Flushing ferry with son 2 today.
So, abandoned that... and am falling back to have pictures from last week's meander around Redruth area & up Carn Brea. #cornwall

Tonight's St Austell Small Batch is "Sea Level", a 2.3% ABV Table Beer.
Not a common thing to see! This is unfiltered and is wildly flavorsome for such a low alcohol beer.
Lots of hops. Hint of salt. Feels quite thin, as you might expect, though.

When it gets a bit too rainy in St Ives, you can pretend to be cultured and go look at some art.
When you’ve done that, and it’s still a bit too rainy in St Ives, there are plenty of doorways to stand in while eating a sausage roll…. because the takeaway bakery prices are bad enough.

Tonight's Small Batch from St Austell is "Devil's in the Details", a 9.8% ABV 'Belgian Style IPA'... whatever that is.
Tasty, and easy drinking for it's strength. Not as spicy as I expected it would be.
