I love cute bin lorries! They have them in Dorset too - the kids thought they were almost as adorable as the teeny vintage Italian trike truck ice cream van- though less nice smelling…

Happy doggo 😁

Little electric buses to assist people who need it back up the hill.

I've had a crazy couple of weeks at work so this break away from it all is just what I needed. Been here less than 24 hours so far and have already read most of a book, and feeling very relaxed 😎 Cheers!

Visited Lanhydrock today (National Trust place) - they have some really good mountain bike trails! It's so rare that I ride a bike just for fun, and I'm really not used to big wide handlebars and extremely nippy brakes - but I didn't stack it (unlike my 13 year old who has some serious scrapes) 🤣

Nice to see that the cycle hire place had recumbent trikes, too ☺️

Didn't take a photo as I was driving and couldn't be bothered to stop, but there's some...interesting shared space/implied roundabouts in Bodmin. Some drivers seemed very confused by them. Also took this photo of some nice granite kerbs in Tintagel.

Like this one? maps.app.goo.gl/yCSfPtgERqWZ...

Yes! Also this one which is bigger: maps.app.goo.gl/UkA4VAWnRVYW...

I like it. Confused drivers often drive more slowly.

If you go to Mevagissey can you check whether "Hitlers Walk" is still there? (Named after an officious park keeper.) www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

Gotta love England. This was built in 13-something.

Interesting chimney. Never seen one like that before. @edward-a-james.bsky.social do you know anything about that style?

Zoom in for evidence of yesterday's mountain biking fail...we had to pick grit out of his hand with tweezers, poor boy 😥

Not a fail, a learning curve. It comes with the territory.

Yes I'm gonna try and persuade him to go again later in the week.

Obligatory family holiday Scrabble game...my youngest child won (and not through me letting him!) 🙈

Boscastle. You may remember the devastating flash floods here in 2004 (I presume it was national news and not just down south!) and on a dry summer's day like today when the river is barely a trickle, it's hard to believe that the water level rose, in a couple of hours, to roof height.

He's alive, isn't he? They don't know they are born .... !!!

Ha ha yes! Doesn't help that he's still recovering from falling out of a tree the other week, that one needed an a&e visit with a suspected broken arm 🙄

If you are NTing Cornwall, have a look at he controversy around the proposed new car park at Trelissick last year. One complaint was that pedestrian crossings would make the road more dangerous for drivers.

On my latest visit earlier this year there seemed to be more signs - mostly official or corporate - in both English and Cornish, than I'd seen before. Which is a Good Thing.

Yes I've noticed that too ☺️
