You, Me & Debris

Yesterday we spent another long day cleaning other peoples' homes...
We didn't get in until after 7pm!
With all the hassle this (or was it last?) week, I'm really wishing for an easier life.
What would be really nice right now is a few days off to potter around the house, read one of the ever growing pile of books, do things in the garden, get on top of our business accounts, cook, sit & chat... 
Though I should be careful, as the last time I complained about wanting to spend more time at home - I fell & sprained my ankle!
So I'll just be content that we have money coming in, we have good health & we are happy!


This Saturday, The Dolphins Fly are performing at The Eden Cafe - which led to the band being invited to an interview on BBC Radio Cornwall. 
Unfortunately, Sime & Bill couldn't make it, so Dave & Mart did a couple of acoustic tracks.
We've just got a few days left to try & get as many folks as possible to come along on the night...

We've had a day off today, Hugo has started a new circus course in Falmouth, so we took the opportunity to see...

Sal & Ryan

Then we had a drive towards the Helford Passage...


And visited a village called Constantine, where we found 2 interesting shops:

Lyrebird is a lovely shop selling bits & pieces for homemade crafts.
They also run workshops, which may interest Sal & Rose. They have birthdays coming up soon...

The Dad of the girl running Lyrebird, also has a shop in the village called: Rob's Guitars.
Sime loved it... Of course!


Night, night, early night for us tonight!

    Sometimes it's hard to imagine living in such a beautiful place. Your photos are wonderful.
    Don't sprain your ankle in hopes of getting some time off - not good.

    What a lovely area you live.
    We're just trying to find a dog friendly break in Cornwall, any suggestions?

    Thanks Mel & I'll try not to...

    Kath, Here's 2 dog-friendly places we look after:
    http://www.corncott.com/cottages/cotna-cottage-gorran-mevagissey-166.html
    This one is attached to the owner's house in the countryside, very pretty - though the kitchen is a bit basic & it's with an agency...
    http://www.chrissiesmith.co.uk/apartment/index.htm
    This is an apartment in Portmellon Bay. The owner's lovely & if you tell her you've heard about it through us - she would probably do a deal!
    We look after a lot of places - just depends how much you want to spend & how many bedrooms you need... Email us if neither of these are suitable & we can probably find somewhere else.

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b

Our Neighbours

The ladies next door have been giving birth in the field. Their babies are like any other babies - they sleep, they feed, they follow their mums everywhere, they run around, then fall asleep again.  These little beauties are completely unaware of their fate... But we know... And this is one thing which makes living here difficult. How can people eat other beings without feeling terrible?     It just doesn't make sense. Both the posters are from the  Cornwall Vegans  website. If you are in Cornwall or will be on Saturday 22nd April - do support this event! Perhaps you have been considering veganism - this  Vegan Starter Kit  will help you to get started and if you have any questions, need help or ideas for recipes - just ask, we are always happy to talk to folks who want to change their diet for the better. And in case you haven't seen this on iplayer - Here is  Simon Amstell's Carnage . Please, please think seriousl

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca
