Still Unsuccessful....

...but I shall keep trying to post pictures, as well as text.

Just back from a very enjoyable visit to Callington, Cornwall, where cousin Mags and husband, Alan - plus their two feline friends - now live. I travelled down by train to Plymouth, where I was to change to the train for Liskeard. This train had come down from Londonand before it even arrived, there were warning signs that it was full, with passengers standing... No kidding!! Those hopefuls who had been waiting on the platform in Plymouth, were 'shoe-horned' on to the train; thankfully, the train drew up with an access door right opposite where I was standing, so I was one of the first to get on. I immediately stationed myself, plus suitcase. right by the door, with a grab-bar to hand, so that I wouldn't have to fight my way to the door when I reached my destination.... I was glad the journey to Liskeard wasn't longer than half an hour - and being so close to the door, I wasindeed able to exit without problem...

Alan was there to pick me up - Mags was on a day-trip to Exeter with the WI - It was a beatiful drive from Liskeard to Callington, in the late afternoon sunshine, but unfortunately, that was the only day when the sun shone. The rest of the weekend was misty, blustery and drizzly. On Saturday, though, we did venture out in the car to Whitchurch, where we enjoyed an excellent pub lunch, then continued on to Tavistock. There we browsed around the covered market,after which time the drizzle had let up sufficiently for some picture-taking along by the River Tavy.

Although outdoor activities were somewhat curtailed by the inclement weather, it did mean that we had time to browse through old photo albums and re-live some of the highlights of the past! All in all, another very pleasant interlude, punctuated by some delicious meals - that roast pork dinner you served on Sunday, Mags, won't soon be forgotten!! Many thanks to you both for a most enjoyable time - and to Cassie and Sadie for the entertainment they provided. (I hope I shall be able to post pictures, one of these days.....)
