Woke around 0400 for some reason…took an hour to nod back off! Got up around 0830. Tea. Did some packing. Still struggling with sinusitis so popped over to Dev’s for a nasal wash kit. Had had a query as to whether the sofa could be taken apart, so tried it. Got the arms and legs off but still measures the same width! Got away around 1115. Slow going. Roadworks in Acton cut off the route to the M4 junction at Gunnersbury…forced to take the N Circular. Had hoped to get to Taunton services by lunchtime, but nowhere near.
Lunched at Leigh Delamere. Swapped drivers. Aki took us down the M5 and onto the A30 across the moors…we swapped drivers again in a lay-by. They’ve done some improvements to the A30…it’s a nice, smooth ride…until it narrows about 10 miles shy of Penzance. Crawled through the town and out the other side, getting to Mousehole around 1815. Couldn’t find a parking spot on the harbour…Aki got out a trundled the bags into the Ship Inn…I drove back to the big public car park by the Old Coastguard Inn. £12.50 to park up for 24 hours! Walked back to the Inn with my guitar strapped to my back.
Aki showed me up to our little room…sea view m, though. Descended for fish ‘n chips then took a turn around the village. Walked back to the car to retrieve some items, then headed for our room. FaceTimed Jim…he, Kath, and his sister, Mandy, are due to drive down from Holmfirth on Sunday. We pencilled in a meet up in Marazion for Wednesday lunchtime.
