A Lockdown Cornwall Walk Plus Dogs and Bude

A hover fly landing

A safe landing above prior to having our daily walk from home.

Quite a dull morning but nice to get out of the house. "Shoulders back and swing your arms," as my dear old dad would say when I was a lolloping teenager - gosh, that was a long time ago. Anyway, the river is still flowing and bubbling along nicely.

Lots of green about, on the trees and the old walls.

This cottage knows its place in life, judging by its very own signpost: eighteen miles from Newquay and sixteen and a half miles from Truro.

Now it's time to get annoyed! The notice on the pole below clearly states a £500 fine for not cleaning up dog poo. But still some dog walkers don't pick up. Oh, and then there are the dog 'owners' who pick up the poo, put it into a plastic bag, and then leave the bag.

How many years do they think that will take to dissolve?

Mustn't let it spoil the walk.


By the way I am very much in favour of dogs. Though we haven't a dog now we previously have had dogs for many years. Especially our border collie, Toby, he was so special.

Some colour to brighten the moment.

And finally for today a photo looking back at pre-coronavirus days. This is Cornwall's north coast at Bude. Looking forward to walking Cornwall's coastal path again. In the meantime stay safe and thanks for visiting my blog.

  1. Some super scenes Mike, I like lots of colour. Love the Hoverfly and also Toby, in a typical Border Collie "down"position. The air must be really clean and pollution free to get all that moss & lychen. I enjoy your walks Mike, keep safe.

  2. Hello David, thanks. We are lucky that we have trees opposite our house - the air does seem to be quite clean. We moved here in 1975 and behind us used to be donkeys in a field. Times have changed though, houses have been built since then (unfortunately!). Stay safe.
