good morning

The cottage we're renting is away out in the countryside; it's a nice return to what used to be our home environment, and the absolute quiet in the morning and evening. A beautiful sunrise this morning over the hills.

+1/3 had booked lunch for us at Rick Stein's place in Padstow which was fantastic: lovely food, excellent service and not hideously expensive (at least, that's what +1/3 told me as she picked up the bill...)

A quick look around Padstow (packed!) then back to the ranch to digest lunch, go for a walk with the dog and generally veg out.
