So was thinking about Easter weekend in Cornwall and in particularly the Good Friday walk which is a fantastic tradition in Mousehole. It stems from the Spanish raid of 1595 (Wikipedia article on the raid). If I remember the story correctly, the women of the village would dress up and carry sticks so that they looked like soldiers caring muskets, then patrol the cliffs between Lamorna and Mousehole to give the Spanish the impression that the village was well defended.

Morning my friends, just a few pics from the past few days and my walk this morning. And just some thoughts…Enjoy the moment you in, take the greatest of pleasure in it and with the people you sharing it with. Live your life tapped into love.
Some pics from this morning’s walk. One of the real pleasures of the coming winter is the later sunrise which I then get to enjoy most days. Just stunning. Bit stormy at the moment, big swell and some rain about. Hope you like the pics. Cheers B
Whales breaching this morning. A couple kilometres off shore, but they where still spectacular! What an amazing way to start the day 🙂

My good friend Alan lives up the mountain side, almost directly above where I’m staying right in the heart of Hout Bay valley. There is a public footpath that leads up past where he stays, it follows the old Victorskloof road build by Thomas Bains and linked Hout Bay and Camps Bay. I thought it would be good try that for a start and pick Al up on the way. I sent Al a message a but the lazy bugger never got back to me till much later when I’d all but finished the walk! Turns out he had a valid excuse though to you off the hook Al! 😉
What an amazing weekend break I’ve just been on. Yes I know… I only just got to Cape Town… but I was invited by my friend Sarah to visit her Parent’s olive farm in Clanwilliam, about 3 hours drive North from Cape Town. I’ve not had a chance to catchup with Sarah so it was great to get away with her.
