'The Cornish Coast'
Good Afternoon,
Fellow Readers and Authors,
I hope you are all well, wherever you are in the world, and enjoying your weekend.
Another week has come and gone as they do, and life here in the middle of nowhere has been busy as my weeks normally are. Most of my time other than my duties here on the farm, have involved promoting my books. Whilst I am on that subject, I would like to extend a huge thank you to all of you, who have put a copy of the Dumb Dumb’s Handbook To Twin Flames on their shelves to read. The response to this particular book has been astounding.
I could give you a synopsis of this weeks weather, though it would not be a good one, and it has been noticeable how the nights are drawing in again post mid-summers night. There is a feeling that the best of the summer is over, which I sincerely hope it’s not.
When the owners return at the end of the month I am hoping to go and explore some of Cornwall’s coastal treasure’s such as Par for example. There are others on the list of must see places the likes of Mevagissey, Mousehole and Port Issac as well, while Vera and I are in the area so to speak.
It was last night when a friend called me, we entered into a conversation regarding Cornwall and some of the places he has visited over the years. He and I are both keen sailors, and the sea naturally drifted into our conversation. The stories old and new that relate to the hundreds of wrecks, the Cornish coastline now serves as their final resting place.
There was one tragedy that caught my attention when he spoke of the Solomon Browne, and the Penlee lifeboat. This tragedy occurred on the 19th December 1981, when the RNLI lifeboat Solomon Browne, put to sea and went to the aid of a vessel named the Union Star after its engines failed in heavy seas. After the lifeboat had rescued four people, both vessels were lost with all hands. Sixteen people died, including eight volunteer lifeboatmen.
Stories like these invoke an imagination in me, and have done so all of my life. Having myself been the victim of drowning at the age of sixteen, being resuscitated and able to continue my path in this life was truly a blessing.
On a more cheerful note, it is now 15.15 pm on Sunday afternoon, and I must put down my pen figuratively speaking, and head to the lower meadow. There will be a shire horse waiting for my presence with his fresh water, and a nice apple as his treat for today.
The thought occurred to me looking back at a previous post regarding Sunny, and how quickly animals adopt routines, especially those involving food. I should have included myself in this daily pageant, as I too seem to have adopted the rhythm of life in the Cornish countryside as well.
In the meantime, I would like to thank you as always for your support with all of my novels, it is sincerely appreciated.
