The 5 minute VIP lounge poem

I'll write everywhere and anywhere and so, as we left Bulgaria, sitting in the VIP lounge waiting for our flight, when I was handed the VIP book, I felt it was time for a little poem...

More to follow on Bulgaria!

Portreath

Hanging out in Portreath where the pasties are the best!

It could be the med when it's like this down in Cornwall...

The Rose Garden

When in Cornwall...

When I'm in Cornwall, two of my favourite places to relax are Godrevy (above) and Upton Towans. They are beautiful when the sun shines and I love the combination of funny shaped clouds, blue sky, sea and wild flowers.

Travel for life

 

Oh yes! My 35th country is approaching... flying off to Bulgaria in two days time. I'll let you know how I get on!

Red Bull Air Race 2016

It's race day! But not horses!

Getting a secondary adrenaline buzz doing something today that's been on my bucket list for a few years - it's the Red Bull Air Race London leg !!! Totally wish I was flying

 

This was the wing walkers warm up act to the main event on race day. Enjoy the grand finale where they take off their harnesses! 

The UK's Nigel Lamb setting the fastest track record for Ascot ever!

It's beer o'clock! Cheers!

 

This is UK's Nigel Lamb's final race. Wasn't enough to take him through to the last 4, but still awesome.

Heaven in Cornwall

You can't beat proper Cornish pasties!

There is also something to be said for light salads drizzled with delicious, yet simple dressings, cool, refreshing beverages and gooey chocolate brownies, all enjoyed in the summer sunshine in lovely Cornish locations with family. Ah, heaven..

On your marks...

One must let off steam every now and then so one doesn't explode! Enjoying a family go karting session at Teamsport racetrack in Avonmouth. It was awesome!

The Lost Gardens of Heligan

Not far from one of my favourite little places in Cornwall, Mevagissey, there's the Lost Gardens of Heligan. We finally got to visit this year and I loved the place. They also had an exhibition remembering the Somme, as 13 of the gardeners of the Heligan Estate went to fight, but only 4 returned.
