Another day of travelling and busyness

My son and I are early risers. We went down about 7 to the marina at what we hoped would be low enough tide to check out the ‘living wall’ project on the harbour wall. I had blipped about it about 18 months ago, see the links in this , essentially a carefully researched variety of shapes created specifically to provide environments for a range of sea creatures to live in, bolted onto the lowest part of the wall. We could see that whereas the rest of the wall was bare, the living wall had a variety of seaweeds in each section, no doubt home to various creatures. I couldn’t do it justice to show here.  Instead we were lucky to find a place already open for coffee, sat on a bench, and met a very fine cat. She was too proud to look at me directly, but she did enjoy a big stroke and ear fondle. 
Late morning we drove, along with R, my dil, just to Looe in Cornwall, only about 40 minutes from Plymouth. For the birthday lunch of L’s dad, who is only 63! His sister was there, three of his best friends from uni days, and us, made 8.  We walked along the coast path for a while, just for the pleasure of it. (The extra is me with dil and D’s sister on a bridge on the footpath - and yes I am wearing the same cardigan as on Friday….) Then back to Looe to go to a rather posh restaurant called the Sardine Factory, which I think has become better known of late, as the chef was on Masterchef, or the Great British Menu, or possibly both. Well, it was incredibly expensive, and my catch of the day fish was very bony, but it was a nice afternoon in a group of very lovely people. I had altogether about 5 hours in Cornwall.  Then L and R dropped me back at Plymouth station and I came back to Bristol by train. On arriving, my phone told me there would be a bus home in 2 minutes, and they are rare on Sunday night, so I ran at least 200 yards from the station to the bus stop, so that fresh fish must have done me some good:-))
