Saturday 25th April: Waiting on weather




WoW - the terse abbreviation that I used to come across from time to time in a previous life in the North Sea oil & gas business. The forecast was for SW 8 here, and 9 on the north Cornish coast, so the decision was made for me: this would be a day ashore.
Mullion is a real community, with countless societies and events. If the weather is OK tomorrow, I'll miss the concert of the male voice Fishermen's Choir.

Meanwhile, spring is springing all around, with bluebells, wild garlic, elderflower, etc. all blooming, and the blossom being blown from the trees as fast as they can grow it. For the brass players in the audience, next week is the Helston Flora Dance (yes, that tune).

  1. The weather is not looking that good for a few considering the seriousness of the paddling over the next few days.

    London was bright and sunny - just an occasional cooling gust. Managed 3h 37m 8s which I was very pleased with. Looking forward to getting back into some gentle sitting down sport again now.

    Good luck - it WILL stop blowing eventually .

  2. Well done Barbara!
    (just in case the rest of the world is mystified: 3h 37m 8s refers to Barbara's time for completing the London marathon. I'm in awe.)
