Stick with Wales, Pinky.:-2

So Minxsy

Are you near Washington state?

I bet she puts you thirty miles off the Scilly Isles, and you'll have to surfboard out just to get to the campground.

edit: that was a somewhat late response to "My friend Nina is going to do the old pin in a map thing when she gets home and let me know where I'm heading".

I'm not utterly compos right at the moment.

Wow, sorry I've just seen this, I used to live very close to Truthwall (pronounced - Truthell)

St Just was my nearest town when I was married, I've moved back into civilisation again now!

The standing joke about St Just is that its always foggy up there! Beautiful place though, no doubt you visited Cape Cornwall and Carngloose Bryn?

It's not in Cornwall though!

I can show the Merry Maidens though, and several other 'standing stones'.

Better a bear suit than a bare suit or maybe you disagree.:sneaky:

Thanks, Betty. The forecast is good so I expect it to rain since they're always wrong.:rolleyes: :wah:

I don't even listen to the forecast anymore, I just get up in the mornings and look out the window.

I didn't check it myself, I rarely bother. I do the same as you. One of my companions called to let me know as well as to give me their ETA for pick up. It's still mostly cloudy here at the moment.:rolleyes:

Cloudy here too, but there are some little bits of blue sky out there, fingers crossed the clouds move on up the country!

I'm sure you'd rather have these ones, they're all white and fluffy, no rain in sight!:-6

Oh yes. I like fluffy white clouds. But they'll get lost in this big pile. They're always fluffy balls of cotton over Cornwall and Devon. Here they get together in one tangled mess.:rolleyes:

A tangled mess??? Sounds like my brain.. smile.

I've walked down Cape Cornwall severall times (and up to the Miner's Arms) but I don't recognise the other name although I walked the area quite a lot. Just walking out of the back door and clambering down to the sea was treat enough.

Another favourate was Botallac and exploring the mine workings
