You know sometimes you get an uncontrollable urge to scratch something. Well that is how I feel at the moment after seeing all of those fantastic models. I want to do some fiddling, not sure what but it doesn't include tiling or decorating.

Supper was totally lush. One happy camper here.

Show kit all sorted for the morning. Cat prepped. Pack up sorted except for flask of tea. Phone and Nintendo on the charger. Just having a brew and a spod, and then I'll head off to the Land of Nod. Up at six to leave for half seven...

Happily, today, it waited until I finished washing my car before it started precipitating it down.. <Doh>

I am cooking fish and chips.

There are shops that do that for you....ask @potsy ....

A really lovely last day in Cornwall, starting with an hour's cycle ride ending in Newlyn taking pictures of the boats in the harbour and a quick sprint to return the bike to the hire shop.

Then a 20 minute walk back and an invigorating swim in the sea. The water wasn't cold but it was cold in the wind.
A special treat lunch was enjoyed at a restaurant ( https://benscornishkitchen.com/)

The afternoon was spent sitting or walking on the beach watching the boats, the waves, the kite surfers, the tide and taking pictures of it all, which doesn't really capture the scale, the light is or the sounds.
It's been very windy but lots of sunshine.

All packed ready to leave in the morning. West Somerset Railway on Sunday.

Off to M&S, anybody want anything?

That menu would do me. Sounds like a perfect day.

The West Somerset Railway runs through the back garden of a certain Labrador loved by many in this thread.

Something simple(a child built it!) like this?

I've just 'reported' my Italy and France Alps and Pyrenees cycling trip thread, so it can be moved from the Thread Editing Suite to the Members Travelogues section. I swear, writing it took longer than the trip it describes.

It looks like a lovely morning, a bright golden sunrise, clear turquoise sky with hardly any clouds.

They just played Classical Gas by Mason Williams on the radio, it got my feet sort of tapping, which is difficult when you are still in bed.

I'm looking forward to our trip tomorrow on a steam engine, it should be Clan Line a Merchant Navy Class of steam engine. I just watched the weather forecast to see what the weather will be like and it seems as we will both be arriving at Torbay at the same time, the bad weather and the steam train.
Oh well! I know where there is an interesting museum in Dartmouth, it's got lots of old model sailing ships upstairs and some enthusiastic peeps in there.
Now to pack my bucket and spade.

Little lad says " boy's are much smarter as they get to be President easy".

I'll wave! Me and Mr K will be in the first carriage of the first train of the day from Bishops Lydeard, most likely with our heads out of the front window. @coffeejo

I hope you have a good time on the West Somerset Railway. If we both start blowing in a Westerly direction we might be able to keep the bad weather away.
