Mount Brioni

Last weekend was city break time in the fair city of Plymouth – just down the road. Nice hotel, great meal all complementing a Saturday night at Mamma Mia. Great show, and an excellent way to spend a weekend. If you get a chance, go see Mamma Mia! Roger & Cathy

It feels like spring, weatherwise, with blue sky and sunshine, but the calender says Christmas. As does the the Snow White panto in Plymouth, and the many presents. A bit confusioning, but we are finalising our New Year bash. Best wishes to everyone for 2017. Roger & Cathy

We saw Rod Stewart in Plymouth last week, fantastic, Tom Jones at Eden last Sunday, excellent, and now ready for Carole King and Don Henley in the Park this Sunday. Sometimes it is music all way. Roger & Cathy

The big night in Portsmouth this weekend is Pat’s birthday party – a very special man. The band are playing following extensive rehearsal! and the curry is organised. Let the good times roll! And then, after a rest, it’s back to Cornwall, Roger & Cathy

Meet up with some old friends in the Sal. Followed by a wonderful curry in the Moonlight. Then on to see Looe’s Celtic band The Shamrocks in the Harbour Moon. A great night out, what ever the weather!

Spent an afternoon walking through Mount Edgecombe’s woods, with spectacular displays of spring Camellias. Plenty of exercise and fresh air, finishing with a Guinness in the Cremyll Arms – another tough day, Roger & Cathy

We have just booked tickets for Squeeze in Looe on 20th September. Great band, great beach venue -should be agreat night! Roger & Cathy

After very spectacular, testing and damaging weather, recovery is now in hand. Collasped beach walls made good, splitting roads being reconstructed and the beach cafe open for business. Mount Brioni’s front hedge has even been severely trimmed by a local farmer, and Looe Hill now seems a yard wider. We are getting ready…. spring must […]

We are now recovered from our wonderful 4 day break at the Goathland Hotel. Nice place, nice people set on the wonderful Yorkshire moors. Train ride to Whitby for fish & chips, Ackbourn in Scarborough (he set next to us!) Evensong at the Minster, plus wonderful walks and local delicacies. We love our Cornish home […]
