The first photo is of the view from the seawalk (miles long, following the coast) at Penzance in Cornwall. The second shows two little boys trying to find crabs and prawns in little pools of water left behind by the receding tide. I took the train on Thursday from Taunton (about an hour from Somerton) to Penzance - first class, lucky me - and had a lovely, scenic ride through Somerset, Dorset, and Cornwall. It took three hours to get there, then I wandered around Penzance for three hours, and hopped back on the train for the three-hour ride back to Taunton. I get an excellent discount on the train if I pre-book and I pay NOTHING for the bus when the travel starts in Somerset. I looooove riding the rails and get wistful when I hear a train whistle by without me on it.


These are recent snaps of me at the barn. Flynn, the 14-month-old 'baby' is on the left, and Lucy, his 16-year-old mother is on the right. I'm helping their owner, Miriam to feed them and groom them every day that I can. Miriam's daughter is expecting her first child soon and Miriam has asked me to take care of the horses for her while she's in London with her daughter and new grandchild. As I haven't been around horses in a good many years, I'm currently in training. It's fun!
