Rewilding Our Life - Days 20 to 23

Sunday's weather was pretty awful here...
It rained on & off throughout the day, so we enjoyed a quiet time at home by the woodburner. It was also our last day of freedom for a while, so it was nice to just chill out.
The rain stopped by 8pm, so as Bebe wasn't here - we enjoyed a walk down towards the beach.

This is the view from the first stile, which is just 5 minutes from our door...

And this is from the second stile, just further down the lane.
We stood & watched the sea for a while...

And headed back up the lane when the rain started again.
We didn't see anyone else - which was nice!

Monday was the first time in 3 weeks that we were unable to do any rewilding, we had a serious problem at work which took time to sort & the aftermath continued throughout our evening, on top of this - Bebe returned home from respite, so it was chaotic!

We made up for it on Tuesday...
The sun came out in the afternoon & we were able to play on Hemmick Beach.


Sime made a rock sculpture...





And I made a fire pit.


A lovely time...

Yesterday, we visited Porthluney Beach - which is the next cove on from Hemmick.

Another lovely day, though a bit windy.
This beach took quite a bashing during the winter storms.

Though the sleepers are mostly still standing...



Behind the beach is Caerhays Castle, which you may be able to just about see...
The Castle has been used in a few TV productions, as it is a stunning location.

We had a tough day at work again yesterday, so it was lovely to just sit & watch the sea again for half an hour... Notice how Sime's face is getting hairy?

You are in a lovely part of Cornwall so close to the coast. The views are wonderful.

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

Spring Forward

We are gradually coming out of our winter hibernation and two weeks of pet sitting on The Roseland in Cornwall has been a wonderful way to slowly "wake up" and enjoy being with one of our favourite furry chums. We are all enjoying being outside more and after 5 years of caring for our little pal - we have finally made progress with her ability to listen, focus and follow commands! She has always been a delight to be with, but her excitable behaviour tends to get out of control...perhaps she is calming down as she gets older or maybe we are more relaxed around her. We have certainly felt our bond with her has strengthened over the last two weeks and in turn she is eager to please. She can now have time off her lead and is thoroughly enjoying beach play time, with excellent recall.  We had almost given up on the idea that Mabel could enjoy such freedom, so it is a joy to us all! We do hope that she will continue with her Mum, but are confident that we will slip back into our ne
