A Little Corner of Cornwall in the Depths of Autumn
Kennall Vale Mills in Cornwall is the site of an old gunpowder mill that was shut down in 1914 and has been reclaimed by the woods around it. We visited it in summer with friends and resolved to return in autumn, as anything pretty in green is even prettier in shades of yellow, orange and red! I’m reading Robin Hobb’s … Continue reading
Part 2 – How a Week Doing Not a Whole Lot Was One of the Best Weeks of our 14 Months on the Road in Europe

Driving along, I can peer over my shoulder and see the kitchen and living room following along. What the? We’re headed up to Bath to … Continue reading
Cornwall
I was making plans with a friend who’s coming over to Europe recently and told her of our plans to be in the Alps this autumn and that she should join us. I cautiously added that our plans have a tendency to change without notice and beyond all recognition, usually within a couple of weeks of having made them. Sure … Continue reading
Happy Birthday to Me
“”Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — Mary Oliver” I celebrated my 28th year on this planet recently. Twenty eight years of my one wild and precious life. This is what I decided to exchange a day of my life for on this particular day. The Eden Project in Cornwall … Continue reading
