Got a birthday treat stay at the Gurnard’s Head which is well worth a visit if you’re ever in west Penwith

Gurnard’s Head from Zennor headland. You can just make out Pendeen Lighthouse in the distance. Also Zennor Church

Every year Christmas gets a little bit more embroidered in our house. Sons 1.0 and 2.0 are worried what they might come home to when they go to university

And this. You could have doubled the Public Health England annual funding and it would take 64 years before you spend as much as was earmarked for Test and Trace

No lying or making yourself out to be a cool kid.

Post the first record you bought.

I got it from our local Our Price I think. I think liked the twangy guitar and it has an interesting "wamma-wamma-wamma" bit behind the lead vocal in the chorus. An early sampler maybe. I was about 11.
