I couldn’t think of another ‘R’ word, OK? Don’t make this weird. Remember that strong onshore wind I mentioned in the previous post? Yeah, well it came with some strong on-land rain in places other than Penzance. I’d caught the 10am to London Paddington, and things were fine for a while, though we did have…

This one’s a wrap-up of the Penzance Experience, mostly in the form of things I photographed because I thought they were interesting at the time. Things like the shopfront on the uphill side of Market Jew Street, which is somewhat higher than the road. I’m assuming that this is because it’s on a hill, and shopkeepers…

You can’t go to Cornwall without going to Land’s End. That’s … just how it works. So I took a bus. Double-deckers, it turns out, give an excellent view, but magnify the sway on narrow country lanes. That guy on the left isn’t just resting his hand there; You did need to hang on. As…

OK,so the first thing is that Mousehole isn’t pronounced like the thing mice live in. It’s closer to Mowzel, where it’s ‘ow’ in the I Just Dropped Something On My Foot way of saying it; Only found that out after the fact. I hopped a little bus from Penzance to Mousehole. At the time I…

This one’s in a few sections – it covers some time in London, a trip to Essex, and then back to London I still haven’t done a review of the B&B I stayed in, primarily because I’m not sure how to write it. There’s nothing wrong with the place, it’s just that it’s been overtaken…

Bank Account, in-branch attempt. Nope, an appointment for an interview won’t be until next week, but you can use our online service instead. Bank Account, online attempt. Nope, you’re too much of a risk to grant an account with no credit or overdraft facility to. National Insurance number, first attempt. We need an address to…

I’d just always assumed that’s what St. Pancras was; A gigantic Victorian Folly which they’d turned into a railway station. I’m hoping that’s enough warning that this isn’t a particularly serious, content-filled, or indeed coherent post. I’d like to point out that, while the folks here at the Fairway B&B have an entire sensible name…
