1 Our lovely neighbour went shopping after our visit last evening and left a very welcome present of Cornish Cream on our door knocker for D&A to take home to Barcelona.
Rodda’s Cornish cream – thank you Sue!
2 As expected, huge storms hit Cornwall overnight and today causing a signal failure that meant no trains were leaving this morning so we drove D&A up to Exeter in the vilest weather – thunder, lightning, hailstones and driving rain – and then a beautiful double rainbow, hard to catch through the windows of a moving car!
Part of the rainbow
The very full River Exe
The wild weir on the Exe
3 While in Exeter, having seen D&A safely on to the train for Bristol Airport, we did a bit of shopping and saw this delightful Wish Tree in John Lewis. The wishes from Amelie and Samantha are very touching.

Thank you. We are lucky in that we live up a hill but we have friends who are having some problems and we are hoping that the promised rainfall for Sunday doesn’t make things worse. There is so much standing water and there is nowhere for the water to go….
All the best to you. 🙂
