Theme 2 – Street
Today the sun came out so we went to Falmouth! This is a view looking up Church Street. I really liked the way the shadows of the flags hit the building at the end but thought it lacked something and I guess it was people. Later I took another one looking down Church Street when it was busier.
This one is much busier, it was taken 2 hours after the picture above. I know I was only supposed to pick one but I thought I would live dangerously!
Photography: Developing Your Eye I
Kim has just started a quilting course, one day per month, and is doing homework in between so I thought I would do something creative as well! I discovered an online photography course on the WordPress site and thought I’d give it a go.
Part 1 is over 10 days and they give me a different theme every day. The day 1 theme is home and I thought a shot of a walk we did close by was a good one to start with. This is the headland before Land’s End, approaching from the south. I think it captures an element of the Cornish coast.
As part of the course I have to publish a shot on a different theme every day! So here goes …..
One door closes and another one opens…
Another long silence! We have been waiting to be able to post that we have moved in to our new house and are settling in to our new life in Cornwall, sadly we are all going to have to wait just a bit longer for that announcement. Continue reading Cornwall 2
Hi, it’s us again! Several people have asked ‘what happened next?’ So now seems a good time to bring you all up to date with developments in the two-and-a-half months since we got back to the UK.
First stop was my mother’s house in Dorset, we spent 10 days there and really enjoyed catching up with family.
Next stop was Cornwall to start house hunting, Plan A was to rent somewhere for a few months while we looked for a house to buy. Some of you will already know that our friend Yvette is moving to Cornwall with us, in our absence she had taken it upon herself to rent somewhere as Cornwall Base Camp. Yvette has two Labradors and none of us had anticipated how difficult it would be to rent a house which permitted dogs. Despite two trips to Cornwall in January, and seeing homelessness looming on the horizon Yvette was unable to find anywhere to rent, so, Plan B, rent a short-term holiday let to give us somewhere to live while we sorted ourselves out.

Signing off!
Well, that’s it, our round the world adventure has come to an end and we are back home in Highcliffe. Our journey home took us via Brussels to London on Eurostar and then home from Waterloo. We completed our circumnavigation when we crossed Southampton Water and could see across to the docks where we boarded Queen Mary 2 last July. What an adventure it has been, we have memories to last a lifetime and hope you have enjoyed following our journey through this blog. Continue reading Highcliffe, UK
