What are you all up to

It's a proper Blackthorn spring this year. 

Plymouth Sound has been lovely, the surrounding fields are full of Larks singing. Sadly the little barn near the site where the swallows nest has been demolished and replaced with a modern house and garage. Things have changed since the site has been closed for a year. But there is a nice "bio-diversity field on site and there are Larks in there too.

Very quiet this morning and we're off soon. 

If all else fails, KjellNN, you could always seek guidance from those Klever Klogs at NASA  'coz they seem to be rather good at handling remote controlled flying wotsits 

Which equates to a good Sloe Gin/Vodka/Whisky year further down the line👍🏻

May have solved the mystery of what was being filmed (or preparations for filming) at Holywell yesterday. 

According to Cornwall Live, it's for a prequel to something called "Game of Thrones"!

"The new series will reportedly tell a story set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

It will depict the war of succession between Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors Rhaenyra and Aegon II, two dragon-wielding heirs to the Iron Throne." 

All of which means absolutely nothing to me since, apparently, I'm one of the approximately 6 people in the country who have never watched GofT! 

Another lovely day down here today. Took our lunch up to Pentire Head looking down over an unusually empty Crantock beach, and then a stroll along Fistral. Just a few "tidying up" jobs to do before we head home tomorrow, ready for appointments with hairdresser/barber (hurrah!) and hygienist (boo!) on Friday.

Mrs M has her second jab on Saturday then a week at home before heading up to our week in the Peak District. (Must check if The Packhorse at Little Longstone is open again yet.)

There's a coincidence as I'm another of the 6. All I know is that Sean Bean, he of yelling Yorkshire Tea at us, went around warning that "winter is coming" in the guise of a character called Jedward, or some such name. 🤷🏻‍♂️

One of the Bond films was filmed at Holywell Bay and the Eden Project. Quantum of Solace, I think.

I'm another of the 6  TW you know more than me regards it.

Beautiful day today, wall to wall blue skies sun warm enough for T shirt if out if the wind.

Just had our second jabs 

Now off to see BIL and sister for a social distanced chat in the sun.

All of which means absolutely nothing to me since, apparently, I'm one of the approximately 6 people in the country who have never watched GofT! 

Two more here Moulesy. Completely passed us by.

We had something similar in the lead up to Christmas when one of our local "Halls" was closed off for filming, some sort of Costume Drama, I think.  MiL (our spy) found out will/may be called "The Woman/Girl in the Window". No-one else managed to get a word out of the crew. I think she uses the age old technique of refusing to move and old age stubbornness until they relent.

Had a nice stroll this morning albeit in a cold nippy wind. Got back in time for lunch and then we did some "gardening", i.e. prunning and digging up a dead Forsythia. Need to find something to replace it when we get back from out jaunt next week.

M - The Packhorse doesn't have any outdoor seating does it? You may have to find an alternative if you want a pint and a meal.

We could get a "Non GoT" fan club set up and not talk about the complexities of the plot or the shallowness of the characters. Have scarves and badges printed saying

"Never seen GoT and Proud of it."

". . . . . just back from a walk and an ice cream . . . . ."

  " Might have a day off tomorrow and go for a longer stroll . . . . "

Very strange WN, that there was no mention of a larger ice cream 

P.S. / Edit :~~  Cross posted, :--  Can I apply to join the Fan Club, please, cos I'll need a warm thick scarf this time next week, after my Tuesday Shearing !  { And that's NOT a new coach company  }
