Falmouth to
Eva and Busy – as
always........it seems
   25th. We left Falmouth at nine this morning, I’m sure I heard Yodel
Pants cheer as we pulled out of the drive...... I drove us to Highbridge and
after finding the right person to take us to our newly serviced
girl...........no, up and down the columns, around the lot she was supposed to
be......there she was to everyone's amusement. It had only taken ten minutes to
find her, most of the job list had been done, just a few little bits while we
waited. Bear drove us down to our home base after buying another set of towing
mirrors. Ours set is so safe.......... Yes,
Dear. When I find ours I will bring these
back. Yes, indeed dear........ On site, we settled in number 20.
Bear went to the store for the awning and ‘stuff’
we had off-loaded for service. AND the mirrors, so safe,
so safe. Growling now......
26th. Up and
pottering, awning up and tidying. Beds happy, Bear content and I marvelled at just how big Isabel the awning actually is before we ‘clutter’ her.
I’ll have another look in fact.......
 Agoraphobia, be still my heart. Isabel huge. Funny, today was the very
first day we have just ourselves, no visitors, grandchildren, just a whole day
sprawling before us. That is, until chores, paperwork, emails and admin took
over. Lunch came and went, we treated ourselves to a game of backgammon on our
diddy set. Clearly my aim was off as I lost badly, but, this is OK as I have
such a vast lead on the proper set back on Beez. Huh, what do you mean Huh, you won.
   27th. Chris and Steve (Rachel’s parents) arrived at three. Steve
presented me with some updates for his family tree, done there and then. Very
chuffed to hear the actual tree is being presented at a meeting of the Courtenay
Society at Powderham Castle in September. The secretary was impressed when Steve
took it with him, like Bear he has several Courtenay’s (and Tremayne’s) which
brings spice, flavour and titled gentry to the mix. Later, they took us for
supper at the Notter Bridge Inn. Unbelievably, neither of us have ever eaten
there before, so close to Eva, such good food, we will be back.
28th. We went to try
and tame the store. ‘Best Crockery’, now thirty two years old and no one has any
interest in, was first for the charity shop pile. Many more boxes followed,
including ‘precious ornaments’ – some not only long forgotten about but a
complete mystery........ Bear came back from the third run and was quite
pleased/worried that the lady at St Luke’s knows him by
name........
29th. Return to the
store for the tip pile. We now have a central walkway for fishing kit and Eva
stuff. The twenty seven boxes of train ‘stuff’ still dominates the back left
corner and we may sell some of it. Well, lets face it, if we return full time to
the apartment it is fully furnished. If we set up a train set it will have to be
a manageable beast, not a takeover bid.........a concept somewhat alien to us
and the word limit, let’s not go there. Anyhoo, the train collection will be
culled but not on this visit.
At the back right is now a more ‘in
keeping’ few boxes of memorabilia, flanked with a pile for Sleeping Indian in
Antigua and a couple of cases ready to go back to Beez
Neez.
Much more to be done but the wild
stallion is at least halter broken, ready for lunge training......
ALL IN ALL THE STORE IS
FINALLY A BIT MORE TAMED
STILL BUSY, BUSY, BUSY
