Today I found a little farm shop that sells real milk. I see a big bowl of porridge in my future. 8-)

My Scottish friend would point out porridge should be made with water and salt. you can add a little milk once its in the bowl.

I envy your lactose tolerance :P

We love the place. For a Cornish harbour it’s very level unlike somewhere like Port Issac. Not much here of course, but there seems to be good community and folk are friendly. :thumbup:

bacon egg and black pudding sarnie for breakfast :bblonde: :bblonde: :bblonde:


One thing I'm so so looking forward to is having the space (fridge and kitchen) to be able to cure my own bacon - the shop bought here is a bit thin and watery !!!! I mean, better than nothing but could definitely be much better !!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:

A small percentage of that will be my discount and i thank you :D I used a comparison site at the start of the year for the car as the insurance had slowly crept up over the years and save £80. Camperbus and work van (Business insurance) are still just over £1000 between them so will be shopping around with them when the time comes

The guests left the villa on Saturday.
They left me a nice note and a lovely tip.
There are no more guests due this year. Although the boss may come for a couple days.

My boss is very happy and has said that it's OK for some mates to come stay here for my birthday next month.

Since the guests left, I've been so busy working on my van, sunbathing, drinking and eating sushi, that I've not even found time to ride my bike!!!

So I'm heading out on the bike in about 20 mins!!
