May 2019
Had a video call with our Jess and Ruby. She is busy planning her 2 trips to visit us. First for 3 weeks walking The Welsh Coast Path with us and then again in December going to Munich Austria Italy and Scotland with us. We said goodbye to Val Malcolm and Sunnie and started our journey to Plymouth via Bridport to pick up a spare key for our new car.
There was an accident on the A35 at Hinton so we were diverted down county lanes! This picture is two way!!! Oh what fun!
Let’s just hope a truck doesn’t come the other way!
We arrived at Linda and Ian’s in Plymouth in glorious sunshine. Their garden is huge and Spring is an amazing time to see it all in bloom. Theo their cat likes us.
Pieris Forestii
A few g&t’s were had.
A great evening was spent catching up over a lovely meal cooked by Ian and Linda’s delicious dessert.
Oh no! Flaming Drambuies!
The view from the back of their house is The Tamar Valley and across to Bodmin Moor.

Off shopping for a new tent for Jess when she comes to walk with us 👣👣👣
Ian took us on what we thought was going to be a 2 mile walk which turned into a 7 mile one! And it was all uphill on the way back!
Warleigh Woods
The Tamar road and rail bridge. IK Brunel’s Bridge.
This bridge spans the river Tavy.
The bluebells are still out but not for long.
What a laugh! Putting up the new tent for Jess in Linda and Ian’s lounge! It’s bigger than our last one and heavier so we are worried about carrying this!
Walked into town then onto Plymouth Hoe.The Lido is in the background.
The Beatles famous picture from 1967. Their body imprints are on the grass in bronze.
Some houses on Plymouth Hoe.
Charlie Drake on Plymouth Hoe
Omg 😮 The Brexit Party and Nigel Farage were on The Hoe being filmed by the BBC!
Anne Widdicombe.
Off on day trip by train from Plymouth Station to Bodmin Parkway.
Over The Tamar we go.
We walked from the station up the long avenue which we was covered in wild garlic and we could smell it.
We arrived at The National Trust property of Lanhydrock House.and gardens.
The great hall. A man was playing a piano at the other end it was beautiful.
The clippings from these yew trees and any others on National Trust properties are collected and an extract from them is used in the fight against cancer.
What a wonderful day we had. The house and gardens were amazing. The plants and their blossoms are changing all the time. Linda and Ian have been 3 times in the past month. A 40 minute train trip back then Ian cooked a delicious vegetable curry followed by an apple cake by Linda. Yes we have been spoilt again. Off to Cornwall in the morning.
