LOCKDOWN ?

One of the most restful holidays we have had in recent years was to spend a week in a cottage overlooking Penpol Creek, just down the lane from Feock in south Cornwall,  Each morning we took our then much loved Golden Retriever, Barney, for a wander round the lanes which included a stroll along the banks of the creek. 

And each morning when the tide was out we would see this gentleman working away at his boat on what was clearly a labour of love for him.  It kind of summed up the Penpol lifestyle - laid back, quiet, easy going;  just my kind of lifestyle really and as I dug this photo out of my collection it occurred to me that Penpol is probably untouched by the current lockdown.   After all, it seemed to be in a permanent state of lockdown even then - the kind of place where you can spend a fortnight in an afternoon........
