You must be the only person whose blog could tempt me into going camping again. x

Cornwall looks spectacular! Looks like you chose a beautiful (and historic) spot for your r&r. Welcome back

This was an historic mining area as well. Some of the iron mines were productive well into the 20th century, garnet is still mined about 20 km from here and the marble for the Washington Monument obelisk in Washington, DC was quarried about down the road. Fodder for a future blog. We don't have those incredible beaches and seaside views though...

Merlin is bigger (of course) and handsomer than ever. I hope that all is well with you and yours. Best wishes.

It went down to 4 degrees (celsius) here last night. It's a beautiful crisp, clear morning but it looks like summer is over - we never really even had one. I'm hoping for a lovely autumn. For both of us.

I was born very near and lived my first 18 years by the shore. I didn't get to the beach once this season. I'm so glad that you did. There's nothing like sunshine and salty sea air to make things right. Thank goodness for your wonderful photos! They're helping

Thank you honey!!!!

Hey can you send me your email again? please and thanky!!!

By the way... it was the Washington Arch in NYC not the monument in DC. I don't know what on earth I was thinking. All I can say in my defense is that it was after midnight and I was enjoying my favorite Islay export

Now that you're back I hope that all is going well.
As for me, I'd love to live by the sea.

Laphroig has always been a big favorite but this time around it was some wonderful old Port Ellen.

I can't believe I spelled Laphroaig wrong in my last comment. I'll be sure to carefully study a bottle this evening.

Well, thanks for the cheering comment. Relationships are funny things, but my friend has a real way of picking them. How's life in Liathach land? x
