WALKING TOUR OF FOWEY 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️🐕

Another saunter round with a lovely couple and four-legged friend. Rather cold but less wind so bearable.

Unusual marine activity included:
🛥 The spare Bodinnick Ferry on her way back up river after a visit to Toms Boatyard
🛥 Albert Quay pontoon being out of the water, I had a good view of whatever was going on here with a crane. Not enough time to wait and see 'what's occurring' though 😂

TREE 🌳 PLANTING

Join the National Trust South East Cornwall rangers for a tree planting day, open to all ages.

More trees are definitely needed everywhere, including Cornwall. This will be important to wildlife too as the new trees aim to connect existing woodlands, providing a safe route for small mammals, shelter, food and much more.

WALKING TOUR OF FOWEY

My first tour of 2025, as rather unusually I had no New Year's Day walks this year.

🎟 🎟 My first tour this year with more than one booking on it. One reason 2024 was so poor was that I went out as often, but almost never with more than one booking, therefore frequently with only one or two guests. This is very nice for the guests, and for me once in a while, but it's not good business. Here's hoping this is a sign of things to come 🤞

From today (Friday 17 January) until Thursday 6 February (inclusive) we have been informed that the uUCR 306 Bere Ferrers public right of way (Lopwell Dam Causeway), which is a section of our Tamara Coast to Coast Way, will be closed following the dislodging of stones along the causeway.

A PROPER MIXTURE DAY

Today was due to be a day spent taking my son to his hospital appointment in Plymouth. I'd insured myself for his car and booked a slot at the local tip, to get shot of a few bits from the kitchen works.

Son was ill and my one delivery booked for tomorrow announced itself as arriving in two parts, the first today 😮! I was already in St Austell when I found out these things, so I picked up the car and headed home 🏡 to await my delivery and rebook the tip slot for later. While I was waiting, a notification arrived to say the second part of the delivery was also arriving today, early evening 😠.

I whizzed over to the tip straight after delivery #1 and smiled sweetly at the chap on the gate so he let me in an hour before my booked time. I then left the car 🚗 back at my son's and legged it down to get a bus 🚌 back to Fowey.

Just into my second delivery slot time, my door-phone buzzed; I answered - no reply. I released the door anyway and waited outside my door; still nobody. I went downstairs to see if the driver had shut himself out; nobody there but my box was dumped outside. It was large and marked with a "heavy" warning ⚠️ and labelled as weighing 19.5kg. This I then carried upstairs. Not quite the day I had hoped for and I'm a bit tired 😴

🌸 Lovely early camellia flowers and plenty of buds, as I was walking up through St Austell

2021

Four years ago I woke up to this rather lovely view on the day I was discharged after my second (6.5 hour) cancer surgery.

Surgery was on 7/1;
8/1 was 24-hour HDU with a nurse constantly present at my bedside;
9/1 I decided I had to get up. Having walked to the bathroom 🚻 with my drip stand, for a normal loo and wash process without asking permission (I really didn't realise this was unusual) I had to reassure the staff outside the door that I was fine!
By 10/1 they agreed with me that I was fit to go home 🏡

And then there was chemo .... 🤮 But that's a highlight for next month.

I have to say again that my diagnosis, treatment and care at Fowey River Surgery and Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust plus the Community Nurses was and continues to be quite excellent. Thank you National Health Service 🙏

2024 REVIEWED ..pardon the pun!

Lovely to have a look back over a few of last year's reviews. For me and many others, it wasn't the best year for profits but I still spent superb times with kind, interesting and generous people in some extremely beautiful locations.

Looking forward to 2025 season and business is already busying up, so here's to a good year all round 🥂

HELIGAN NIGHT GARDEN 🌙

Just a few shots from my windy, wet and glorious evening at Heligan yesterday. The lights were stunning as ever, and some new pieces and a different route are all this regular event needs to ring the changes.
Supper in the Steward's House (lucky steward!) and I chose a jacket potato with wild mushroom 🍄 and mascarpone sauce - delicious, hot and filling ✔️

SHOP LOCAL

On a shopping 🛍 trip in Fowey to Nile's Bakery for bread 🍞 and a pasty, at Boheme by Salt Society for coffee and cake, Olive Branch for a takeaway lunch and Fowey River Trading for Cornish milk. Plus several Fowey Food Week discussions en route.
■ bluebells appearing in St Fimbarrus churchyard
■ at very low tide up at Caffa Mill, it looks as though our poor widowed swan may be having another try at finding a new mate. Early days, the last one having stayed for several weeks then disappeared, but 🤞
■ my "peckish" sized takeaway salad for lunch on arrival at home 🏡 This yummy 😋 offering from Olive Branch is substantial and delicious.

TUFTY CLUB 🐿

Who remembers Tufty teaching us road safety? This little chap was going a fair lick along the opposite pavement (hence rubbish shot) but stopped, looked and listened at the kerb.

Road crossing safely accomplished 😊 Tufty would be proud 👏

BRAIN 🧠 TRAINING

I'm keeping up with my puzzling activities over the quieter time of year, to keep me sharp. I do a daily collection of word and number puzzles.

This is from Nerdle Game and I'm happy with a 95th percentile for speed 😊

If you don't know Nerdle, do take a look. There are loads of different games to test various aspects of numeracy and logic.

WHITE RIVER A quick video from yesterday's very busy day. Here at St Austell B&Q, looking at the milky White River flowing down towards Pentewan. That was after the College bus to Treliske for canulation then two sets of scans (one MRI with dye), picking up hire van with totally demented foot-activated parking brake (designed by someone who doesn't have to do hill starts every two minutes) and driving back to St Austell for supplies. I think I had lunch about 2.30, but was (unusually) feeling quite poorly from the dye by then and spent lots of time resting and 🚰 drinking water, to flush my system through. Much better this morning, thank goodness! . . . @fowey_info @visittamar @greentourism @goodjourneyuk #tourguide #walkingholidaysuk #Fowey #Cornwall #Kernow #walkincornwall #southwestcoastpath #outdoors #healthylife #outdoorlife #nationaltrail #solotraveller #singletravel #solowalker #womeninbusiness #supportlocal #LucyDaniel #guide #igerscornwall #thingstodoCornwall #enjoycornwall #greentourism #publictransport #regularscans #cancermonitoring #foothandbrake #feelingpoorly
