Just look at these two! These faces greeted us in Balham! Introducing brothers Mustaine and Anchovy. They were huge personalities and well, just huge cats! Balham was a wonderful surprise to me. I loved it! Our new home was in a clean, quiet street just around the corner from a lively, interesting part of town. … [Read more…]

Yes, we returned to Brighton! As I mentioned, this year we planned to spend the summer ‘sans’ car. With that in mind, we searched out pet sits in cities, cities we liked. London and Brighton! Pet sits in these locations were in high demand so we were super grateful when chosen for some good ones! … [Read more…]

Hello Kensington! And ‘Hello!’ to Florence and Frieda! Kensington was home for a truly wonderful three weeks! Florence and Frieda were such sweethearts. They had their quirks but they were well-behaved on walks (apart from when a squirrel was in sight) and great company when we stayed home. Kensington is just the best location. Kensington … [Read more…]

It was now time to explore to see what we’d been passing by. Cornwall: Bodmin Moor – Caradon Hill Caradon Hill was once famous for its copper mines but … [Read more…]

Cornwall the sequel… The Cornish weather remained kind to us allowing our adventures to continue. We’d heard of a lovely coastal walk that serendipitously finished in another little fishing village on our itinerary.

Cornwall! Hurrah! Home of many of my childhood holidays. I couldn’t wait! Cornwall: Liskeard We arrived in good time. In fact, we were early. We parked and took a stroll around the town. Liskeard is inland and so it doesn’t have the same quaint feel of the seaside towns. It does, however, have all you … [Read more…]
