A POSTCARD FROM PADSTOW (With some soggy bits and pieces...)
Dear all, hello!
The present Mrs Blogbrarian and I have been holidaying on the “Cornish Riviera” in lovely Padstow .We experienced lots of different types of weather: lashing gales, thunderous tornadoes and horizontal sleet. Still, mustn’t grumble…
Wildlife and celebrity reports:
Actually, it’s been quite jolly – we have seen lots of wildlife: puffins, otters, and (on our one sunny morning) a blackbird stole my toast – my, how I laughed! Lots of lovely fish, too. Still no sightings of Rick Stein, though…
Despite the fog, pea-sized hail, and a force- ten Atlantic maelstrom we actually managed to find John Betjeman’s gravestone (we certainly know how to have fun, eh?) which was rather fine.
Less good news, though – my pasties have become very soggy.
Spain won the football, Fernando Torres actually scored some goals, and – entirely unrelated – a rain-sodden Britain has been invaded by Spanish slugs. Oh, and the Large Hadron Collider has been fired up, and shot out some Higgs Boson bits, apparently.
