Something must be done

It has been the worst summer I can remember in Cornwall. Seldom a day without rain, often rain for day after day, and usually torrential. I don't mind the cold, but I don't like being wet, so I have not done a lot of cycling since I got back, especially as I was unable to sit down comfortably for a couple of weeks.

At last, now that summer is over, summer seems to have arrived. I fancy doing one last trip before winter, and thought I might go to Lands End, well, not Lands End itself because it is ghastly. It is in private hands and it just gets worse and worse. Only Disney could make it more dismal than it is already...I digress, not Lands End itself, but probably Porthcurno, worth a visit for its telegraph museum alone.

It will be a bit of a juggling act, I need two fine days, but at the moment, hotel prices are still ridiculous, so I shall wait until they come down a bit, and hope the weather waits with me. In the meantime, there is good cycling around here, and I am trying to track down a most irritating noise....
