Truro

On Wednesday, Hugo went to an animation workshop with the CAT group (Cornwall Alternative Teens). 
It was held at Truro Library, so Sime & I decided we would have a mooch around the city...

We arrived early so we could get cheap parking.
Then the three of us went for breakfast at another good veggie cafe called: Archie Brown's. 

We don't have a TV or buy newspapers, so the guys took the opportunity to read!

Sime & Hugo opted for some unusual breakfast time drinks!

The cafe make their own sourdough, which was delicious with some local eggs!

After breakfast, Hugo went off to his workshop - where he decided to concentrate on making music for the animation...


The CAT group made 2 videos with the help of Liz, who ran the workshop.

        

The kids really enjoyed themselves. 

Next week they are having an Adventure Day, so Hugo's really looking forward to that!

It was a lovely day... 
The guy in the yellow jacket is known as 'Banjo Man' although he plays a mandolin!
There were rumours last year that he had died, but he's still going strong & he must be in his 90s...

That's Truro Catherdral & some strange character probably collecting money...

Sime loves old buildings...

Although I think the catherdral isn't actually that old!

Truro is on the Fal estuary, where a couple of rivers meet the sea.

It is a pretty place...

And we're very fond of it!

The view on the way home through Caerhays...

This is the cove just next to our beach.

And this is Caerhays Castle...

Which is a 20 minute walk from our house...

This is the beach in front of the castle, which we can walk to along the coastal path!

Sime's just woken up, so it's brekkie time again - hooray!!!

No work for 2 days & the sun is shining...
It's going to be a good weekend!

Hope you have a good one too.

Kay :)

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b

Our Neighbours

The ladies next door have been giving birth in the field. Their babies are like any other babies - they sleep, they feed, they follow their mums everywhere, they run around, then fall asleep again.  These little beauties are completely unaware of their fate... But we know... And this is one thing which makes living here difficult. How can people eat other beings without feeling terrible?     It just doesn't make sense. Both the posters are from the  Cornwall Vegans  website. If you are in Cornwall or will be on Saturday 22nd April - do support this event! Perhaps you have been considering veganism - this  Vegan Starter Kit  will help you to get started and if you have any questions, need help or ideas for recipes - just ask, we are always happy to talk to folks who want to change their diet for the better.

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca
