Postcards from Cornwall

So, I had a lovely time in Cornwall. I helped my hosts working on their house - mixing lime mortar and pointing their stone walls. I don't have a good head for heights. They might have told me they had no heating though. I would have thought about staying longer in Bangkok!

One of my hosts has just started learning the ukulele so she gave me a lesson in the first three chords she's learned. I think the uke is a good sized instrument for a sock monster, although it's a bit hard to hold down strings on the fret board without opposable thumbs.

I also dressed up for Hallowe'en as a ghost but no one came trick or treating, so I took some of the sweets with me to give to my next host, although I might just have eaten them whilst I was in the post...

update

I arrived in Cornwall via courier from Bangkok. I was very cold and tired but I was warmed up beside the fire and fed a Cornish pasty. Yum and much less spicy than those thai curries.

My favourite moments of the day involved re-enacting my very own Titanic moment, relaxing by the fountain and seeing some real monks!

Throne fit for a king?

I think when I get back to my original owner, I'd like one of these chairs please. 

I did sample some of the Thai food but it was a bit too spicy for my delicate palette so I stuck with some fried rice and an iced coffee. Yum, I could become addicted to those coffees!

Fortunately I didn't have to walk around too much as it was very hot and I was allowed to drive the golf buggy and hitch a ride on this bike.

Too much cake?
