Saturday Morning 20th March

Hi everyone
Well I am an OAP now 65 yesterday but feeling pretty fit and healthy.
We had a nice meal in St ives Thursday evening, Couple of pints of Doombar which is brewed in Cornwall then a nice walk back through the cobbled streets to our campsite.
Simon had a dry start Friday, St ives looked stunning from our site, didn't last long it poured all day .
Thank you to the lady who ran up with a donation as I left the site.
Made my way to St Agnes and was looking around an Antique/ collectable shop talking to Jane Templeman ( also a cancer sufferer) of Yester-year Antiques who gave a donation, thank you very much,  at 12.00 met Simon who was joined by Russ Abbot (sorry I mean Mathew Watson Smythe) who rode for the last 32 miles to Padstow.
As I parked up an elderly gent came up with " You can't park a camper here this is for cars only, there are too many of you Hippies parking overnight using our facilities )" I replied " Do I look like your average hippy take a look at the sign on the van" .
"Sorry didn't realize what you were doing" he then went on his way.
Later as we were walking down the street the same man came up to Mathew and said "You look like Russ Abbot", "well you look like Benny Hill "said Mathew
He turned his cap sideways, pulled his glasses down his nose, screwed his face up and made an excellent Benny Hill. Turned out to be quite a character.
Last evening we went to the Cornish Arms near Padstow for a birthday dinner with Simon, Daniel, Harriett, Dean, Mathew, Rupert and Shelley. (see photo)
Thank you to Dave of Blue C Taxis on 07970 625878 or 05602 811360 for the FREE rides there and back.
A thank you to Chris & Katy Case of the Porth Beach Tourist Park who not only let me park for free but also gave a generous donation.
I have been asked to say a big HELLO to http://www.voodoo-media.info/forum/   who are watching the site.
 All for now
Phil
