The Lizard

Here are some of the photos from our trip to The Lizard on Tuesday. 
The most southerly tip of mainland Britain... 
St Winwaloe Church is on the beach near Gunwalloe.

Weather beaten grave stones.

An interesting graveyard addition!

Inside the tiny church.

The roof.

The overgrown, but interesting graves...

The Norwegian crew whose boat sank off the Cornish coast during the storms of Christmas 1915!

A German pilot who was killed in action in 1941.

One of the beaches in Church Cove...

And the other one!

The picturesque village of Gunwalloe. 

And a very nice Cornish Cream Tea!

We've had beautiful weather again today - perhaps we're finally going to have a proper Summer?

That'd be nice - we may even dig the tents out & have a few days camping!!!


Bye for now,

Kay & Sime xx

    What an interesting place. Your treat looks yummy. We had rain all day, but it is supposed to be nice all week. Hope you get to use your tents.

    Lovely photos Kay! I have a friend who lives at Cadgwith, but its years since we visited.
    One of the things I was looking forward to, moving to Somerset, was its closer proximity to Cornwall.
    Cant wait for our holiday in Port Isaac!
    Yes I agree, we have waited a long time for summer. The festival is over, so need for any more rain LOL
    Spotted girls in Sainsburies this morning, with sunburned legs, but only half way down their calves, to where their wellies were LOL

    Mel - We're hoping to go camping on The Lizard, it's really lovely!

    Sooz - We had a thunder storm today & it's not hot like yesterday!

    Kath - Cadgwith is lovely! I bet it's a relief when the festival is over - the roads are probably thinning out now, saw some photos of the flooding there...

    Nic - Have you booked your honeymoon yet? If not, think about Cornwall - there are lots of romantic places to stay!

    Kay :)

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
