They'll be keeping their fingers crossed for a good Easter.

Meanwhile, back in Cornwall a reasonable day with just a couple of brief showers & sunny spells, good visibility and much calmer sea conditions - especially on the south coast. Swell down to 6-8' even out at Sevenstones.

Around Marazion piles of weed washed up after the 1st big sea of the winter.

I lived at the foot of an hill on a farm years ago. We found an old car boot or bonnert lid from the days when those things were curved and used it quite successfully on a frosted grass slope to frighten ourselves severely enough to last us a year or so.

Would it be impossible to get a year round income from people who like doing silly things if it meant they had to get muddy too?
I gather that these days washing clothing is no longer the difficulty that it was.
