It’s half term so it’s entertaining now not so young person. Painting pottery in Hayle this afternoon so I chose Editorial Assistant Woof as the subject. This is the first time I’ve painted anyone and I’m more than quietly pleased at the result.

A quick walk with Editorial Assistant Woof at a very, very windy lunchtime and where did she take me? Think she wanted to see a Sprinter, bless her. Not amazing pics but worth recording.

And here’s one from a trip with Mrs B-R and editorial assistant woof yesterday. Kynance Cove in Cornwall. Ansum!

A nature vid from the weekend in #Gwithian #Cornwall. I’m told this is a kestrel. Bird recognition not a strong point. Enjoy !

Editorial Assistant Woof is opting for comfort tonight. If she does this tomorrow, she’s doing the writing and subbing.

A few from this morning’s walk with Assistant Woof. Looks like it’s going to be gorgeous!

Dull old morning in Kernow today walking Editorial Assistant Woof. Atmospheric though…

Look what turned up while waiting for Mrs B-R at the station - a @gwr.com castle set heading east. Enjoy them while you can folks!

Bit of a misjudgment from the transport secretary here. Pissing off a huge amount of the rail workforce - of all ages and genders - isn’t a good look. She needs and the railway depends on their enthusiasm and passion. Very, very poor show.

One from the other day - a long exposure at Carnsew Pool with the tide draining through the tunnels. Hell of a flow going out.

A stunning morning here in Hayle. Bleddy ansum, in fact. Also bleddy cold!
