We left Salisbury on Friday evening and were in Lostwithiel (Cornwall) in time for dinner with Andy and Jenny Barclay - preceded by a pint in the Globe! On Saturday morning we went on to Falmouth to spend the day with Leo. After a stroll in Falmouth we went on down to Perranuthnoe to see Jenni Gilbert in her new venture running a beach cafe - it's highly recommende

In the afternoon Jane took a nap in Leo's room while Leo and I had a stroll on the beach. We had an early pub supper overlooking Falmouth Harbour before giving Leo a hug and returning to Lostwithiel. We started late on Sunday morning but Andy produced excellent scrambled eggs, bacon and coffee followed by Sunday papers in the garden.

We stopped for lunch with Geoff and Maureen Albert on the way home in Crewkerne. It was Geoff's birthday so we had the added treat of gooseberry birthday cake in the garden. You won't be surprised to learn that Jane is taking a nap while I type this!

Hello Jane & Peter,
My goodness you have had a busy but fun-filled weekend by the sounds of it! That's nice that Leo lives in Cornwall, it must be so beautiful there by the sea. Sorry to hear you are feeling achy Jane, but thanks for posting the pictures, it is so nice to see what you're both up to each weekend. Our Janie is moving apartments tomorrow in Ottawa. She has Dave's truck while he is away, and plans to do it all with friends help. She has a job at Eddie Bauer for the summer. Rachie is also moving to the Port Credit area in Missisauga, it is on the harbourfront, she is sharing with friend Andrea. She has applied at WestJet and some other travel industry positions, in the meantime she is waitressing. Holly just taken another agriculture job in Queensland Australia with boyfriend...they are intent on extending their work holiday visa for another year by working 3 months of 'seasonal' work. Dave's second exercise is cancelled so he'll be home on May 2nd yay! Me, I'm planning to plant my window boxes tomorrow. :)
Have a good week. Love and hugs to you both.
