Happy times


Every year, my family in the area where I live and I go to Cornwall for a few days. We always go to Fowey. The bottom picture shows the quayside, and the top  picture is a view from the hills above the town.
It's a men only affair; those who have partners and/or children leave them at home. I know this is difficult for them, but we always have a lovely time. I stay in a tent, and the others stay in their camper van. We, or rather I, take every possible opportunity to misbehave slightly, and we laugh a lot.
The other guys are really good to me. I don't find it easy to chat when I first wake up, and tend to take ages to come round. People who don't know me sometimes think I'm miserable or odd. Well they might be right on the second count, but I'm never miserable with these guys.
We go for lots of walks. I really enjoy the walks because I can trail behind a bit, and just watch everything. I particularly like looking out for wild plants and birds of prey.
We have a favourite pub in Fowey. Unfortunately you can't see it in the picture, as it's just to the left of the building on the extreme left. It's lovely sitting by the river with a pint, watching everything that happens on the water.
I'm looking forward to our next visit in July.
