After a busy week I woke up this morning planning various trips out until I remembered that it was actually Spring Bank Holiday.
This cancelled everything. The sun shines, it is truly glorious outside and our visitors will have arrived in great numbers.
A hasty mental rearrangement then occurred.
The roads will be much busier than usual....the hotels will be full and the beaches busy. This means that all my plans have been shelved for this weekend.
Long ago the solution to getting around the Roseland was agreed by most of us. On these busy weekends we don’t go out unless we have to.
I can do this.
I may take my car for a run before the traffic starts to build up but mostly I will be safely at home in my garden.
Even that isn’t the joy it used to be as I now have to protect my skin from browning by plastering large amounts of sun block on it.
I’m not as miserable as I may sound. Life is still very good. I have friends either already here or due to arrive soon. But I am actually fine on my own. I like the quiet garden and the peace surrounding me.
So Bank holiday or not....I won’t be joining in...from my tall house the views around me are stunning...I can watch the ships going in and out of Falmouth from one side and from the other is countryside going down to the sea also.
I won’t miss much!

You are wise to stay at home when crowds of visitors flock to the sea side.
I find bank holidays here quiet as many people take the opportunity to escape elsewhere, and I welcome that. But public transport runs well, although on a reduced time table. But all of othe shops are open, apart from some supermarkets such as morrisons who close on bank holidays, but open either side of them.
As I am still visiting my spouse in the hospital, some 12 miles away, I will be travelling, but hopefully she will be home soon. It's lonely here without her and the cats are moping as well.
