Cornish Adventure

My friend Flora and I had a great walk along the North Cornish Coast from Rock to Port Isaac last weekend, her unfortunate bout of food poisoning not withstanding (don’t worry – I waved goodbye to a recovered, healthy looking Flora At Exeter Station yesterday). We had all the right gear to protect ourselves from the cold, and we enjoyed some outstanding scenery en route.

A weekend walk in remote, beautiful countryside helps you appreciate many things and on my train journey home yesterday – I started to think maybe I could write a blog about those many things. Then I got home and discovered this patronising piece of crap published on Forbes called 14 Things Successful People Do On Weekends. I’m afraid the blog post on Forbes crushed my weekend spirit somewhat and certainly put paid to my planned post for today.

Instead I have resorted once again to the wonder of Flipagram to bring you this short montage of holiday pics. Bonus points to the first person to correctly name the accompanying music:

Rambling Man

Yeah I know, sometimes I go on a bit, but relax, this time I don’t mean ramble as in ‘get to the point willya!’ I’ve not blogged this week, not until now. Instead I’ve been letting my mind wander in other places. I’ve been spending time with Carole and Keira, doing a bit of cycling and a bit of goofing around, I excel at that.

I’ve been continuing to prep for next week’s launch of Creative Leadership, about which I am simultaneously nervous and excited. Oh, and after lots of form filling and patient waiting I discovered that London Underground are going to let me audition for a busking licence. More on both of these things soon.

Today – I set off on another adventure. I’m heading down to Cornwall to meet Flora and we’re going walking up the North Cornish coast. I can’t wait to get the icy sea breeze in my face and stride out along the coastal path with a good friend. And first we have dinner to enjoy in Padstow this evening.

This life is all about adventures. On the telly last night Eddie Izzard said ‘adventures are the stuff of life’. I agree with him and I encourage you to think likewise, have a most adventurous weekend folks.

Here’s a little bit of fun, something I painted for Carole and Keira. I say fun, actually these turned into a real labour of love, I wanted to get some depth into the material and I struggle with acrylic paint. Still, I persevered and the girls appreciated their little gifts.
