For goodness sake! Just went to the local hotel for supper. The place was full of a chess convention with chess players everywhere in Reception telling us all how great they are at chess. Honestly, there's nothing worse than chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.

I made it to our annual village carols around the Christmas tree on the green. A chilly evening, but I got mulled wine and a mince pie, so no complaints #Cornwall #villagelife #Christmas

Santa sighting!

If you know any children who are tracking Santy, a bit nervous about him making it to their house on time, tell them we’ve spotted the reindeer in the skies over Denmark. They’ve left the North Pole, all is well – they’re on their way!

A Cornish Christmas 1: A Curate’s Egg Journey Down

An account of a “curate’s egg’ journey from King’s Lynn to Fort Picklecombe. Parts of the journey were indeed excellent, and I got some good photos along the way.

Thank you for all the welcomes and follows that I've woken up to this morning!

I'll reply/ follow back / wave enthusiastically over the coming hours! It's good to be here 😌

We don't make a big deal of Christmas, but I enjoy a few cosy quiet days during the darkest part of the year. Stove is lit, snacks at the ready.

This evening, I cooked a fish pie and read The Mousehole Cat to my daughter for the first time.

It's Tom Bawcock's Eve.

As a child living in #Cornwall, despite being in a play version of the book as a kid, I couldn't imagine the kind of storm that the book describes.

But as an adult living here, and the increasing ferocity of winter storms, and their frequency, I can imagine it now.

Hello 👋

I'm giving Mastodon another go after quietly despairing about the awfulness of normie social media.

I'm a late diagnosed autistic humanoid, living in tranquil rural sometimes- bliss with my wife and dog, in Cornwall, UK.

I'm a freelance copywriter, voracious reader and aspiring writer of crime fiction, history geek & nature lover.

It would be good to connect with nice folks whoever and wherever you may be.
