Hello all
Before I left home I asked Steve (my son-in-law) if he could do something with the idea of "Where's Robbie". He said "Leave it with me". So far, two of his brilliant creations have appeared on Facebook. Both have really amused me so I thought I would post them on the blogs as well. So here is the first one which is from yesterday.
All of these photos were taken before it started raining and hailing. They show - a stream where I filled my water bottle, some unfurling ferns, the delightful path ahead and the ever present sea, through the trees.
It was - for me - a very sad thing that the death was announced of the actor Edward Kelsey. Edward has played the part of Joe Grundy in the Archers for 32 years. I have been listening to The Archers for about that long. Joe Grundy was, and is, a great character, who added a level of comedy to a story-line which can be a little serious and precious at times. He is also capable of reducing the radio audience to tears when gets all sentimental. His character age was 98 and Ted Kelsey was hoping to continue to play the part when Joe reached his 100th Birthday. Unfortunately this was not to be.
Joe Grundy was renowned for using a - I believe - fictitious illness called "farmers lung". If Joe was asked to do something which he didn't want to do, he would cough and mumble about his farmers lung. I hope that the script writers will allow him the final say by the words FARMERS LUNG appearing as his cause of death. RIP Joe Grundy/Ted Kelsey.
Blisters
I have a small blister on one of my toes of the left foot.
Curse of the tic-tacs
Never carry tic-tacs on a walk. I have had to endure the rattle of a semi-filled box of tic-tacs for about 11 miles today. Never again.
Take it easy.

For me, the funny thing is his choice of a photograph to use. At the weekend, we all had a laugh at how gormless I looked in this photo and I thought it would be the last that I would see of it. How little did I know.
This morning I woke feeling very good after a tremendous night's sleep. I packed up my day bag and set off at about 9.00. I called into the Spar shop in Porlock first and complimented the lady who works there on her very good advice that she had given me the previous day re: bus times and a camping site. I asked her for some cheese and she cut off a piece of extra strong cheddar cheese and put it between a small baguette forming a sandwich of sorts. £2.00 was all she charged. I felt like I should buy something else to show my gratitude. The first thing I saw was the mint and chewing gum display, so I selected some tic-tacs. GENEROUS!
With my lunch packed away in my bag I set off down the road.
I arrived in the Porlock marshes again and because the sun was shining decided to take some photos. The shingle beach was delightful but it was the groynes which caught my attention.
I love the way that the boulders have wedged themselves between the posts. I took lots of photos and these are just two of them. Notice that the sun is shining, it didn't last unfortunately.
Here are some more photos that I took -
