… are up for viewing.

These are only the digicam ones. When I get the B&W that I took with my SLR developed I’ll stick them in too. I’ve heavily edited the balloon shots down as I had tons, and one balloon begins to look just like another when you have sooo many pictures of them. There are also less pics of the yurt than I thought.

The best place, not that I’ve tried many but this place will certainly take some beating, is Martin’s Diary in Looe. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside it is light and clean and when we went packed full. The scones were spectacular, not too dry or bready with a degree of lightness that puts them above your average lumpen mass that scones are all too notorious for being. The clotted cream was sweet and smooth but not overpowering and the organic strawberry jam still makes my mouth water thinking about it. And the friendly people that run the shop are nice, they even snuck in an extra scone to the 4 that we asked for.

Sadly no e-presence of any kind but physically they are here in Looe. And the address is

Martins Dairy: Genuine Clotted Cream By Post.
Fore Street, East Looe, Cornwall PL13 1HH UK
Tel: +44 (0)1503/262525

They deliver clotted cream, scones and jam by post, in any combination.

DHTML Lemmings

A complete version of the old Psygnosis game Lemmings all done in javascript and using the browser objects. No flash or java. Wowee very impressive, a little slow at times but just playable. I’m going straight back now to nuke some more lemmings…

Yep, Heather and I went to stay in a Yurt in Cornwall last week and it was delightful. That was my surprise birthday present and it was probably one of the best I’ve ever been given. We were both sick as disease ridden mongrels but had a great time anyway. The little B&B farm we stayed at was very nice the folks there were friendly and smiley and the dinner that we had on my actual birthday night was spectacular, no food I didn’t like, tons of stuff that tops my favourite lists or does now anyway

On the way down we stayed with Ed in Bristol. Went to the balloon fiesta and saw dozens of balloons and the Glow. A balloon glow is something like balloonists trying to do wheelspins in a carpark like boy racers, but with big balloons and huge jets of burning propane. Visually spectacular and all set to really really cheesy music, that particular mix of music that goes with fireworks at your local bonfire night, but worse.

We drove back and forwards between Plymouth and Botelet farm a couple of times and had to cross the Saltash Bridge a few times. When you come back into Devon from Cornwall you have to pay a pound. It doesn’t cost to get into Cornwall but it costs to get back into England, makes Cornwall feel like another country, taxes and a big border bridge

On the way back we stopped off in Wiltshire to look at a white horse and Avebury, which has to be one of my favourite places in England. Heather was also assaulted by a Barrow Wight in the West Kennet Barrow.

Will hopefully give more details… like where to find the Beast on Bodmin moor, which Looe to go into and where to find the best clotted cream tea in the south west.

Woo Hoo!!!

I just stayed in a yurt for most of last week. Hidden away at a little farm in Cornwall called Botelet

I’m off to Bristol to have a look at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta and stay with Ed. Then on to a mysterious destination somewhere deep in Cornwall. I sunny and cool think I’m going to get to stay in a castle of a barn or some ancient farm house. Don’t know yet it’s a comlete suprise from Heather. All I know is it’s somewhere near Liskeard.

Back in 11 days.
