Had a week in Padstow in Cornwall, which was nice.  Great location, nice cottage and excellent company.   Only downside, apart from the weather that could be described as `inclement`, was the tedious journey to get there and back, but once you`r e there none of that  matters.   Here are a couple of photos I took of the Camel Estuary, where we were staying:-

And after that, back to the realities and the coquettish nature of following assorted football teams.   And didn`t they do well yesterday?   My neighbour`s Gillingham had a convincing win (despite missing two penalties) against the Shrimpers of Southend;  our street`s local hero Scott (`pacy flanker`) Wagstaff lived up to his billing by turning in a pacy performance on the Wimbledon flank as he produced two assists in his team`s 3-2 win over Rochdale.   Both Forest Green Rovers and Truro City lie top of their respective leagues after victories yesterday and although putting in a strong performance, Fort William went down 5-3 at home to Turriff.

So far, so pretty good.   But it was left to the Saints to become the spoilsports of my week by losing yet again, this time at home to Chelsea 4-1.  Same old, same old it seems - powder puff attack plus sieve leaking defence equals unwelcome but predictable stuffing.   Think I`ll go back to Padstow.......
