It was supposed to be a day off but I had still to do the 6 miles into Falmouth. Plans changed several times during the day. Tom Allan, who is putting me up for 2 nights and I were both nursing slight handovers from a great night so we took it easy during the morning. We had a breakfast of toast, sausage roll and Cornish cream tea. By the time we had recovered from that there was little time before Martin Stoll was to arrive at 3pm by train from London to spend the week with me. It ended with Martin coming and doing the walk with me as an early evening stroll which was most pleasant. It was very hot as we took leave of the delightful Halford Estuary which I had enjoyed so much. The walk was very easy with some nice beaches. We cut off Pendennis Point as we had to meet Tom for dinner. He told us to meet at a restaurant which we found was closed but he drove down to pick us up and drove round to Flushing for a pub supper. Tom and I had had such a good time last year in Scotland making the radio programme when the Blessed Ruth was still with us and it is kind of him to move down here so I can see him again. I had thought that he was very together but I have become suspicious about that when we spent half an hour trying to find where he had left his car last night. Martin and I had got to Falmouth in time to witness the local fire brigade, 8 of them, looking up and trying to work out how to rescue a young seagull who had walked along the edge of the building away from its nest and got stuck on those spikey things designed to keep birds off the building. The RSPB have to pay the fire service £250 for this service. I found it hard to justify this expense. I saw a young blackbird hit by a car 2 days ago and its mother was close by totally helpless. The bird was obviously injured but alive enough to stagger towards a bush. How lucky we are to have arms to put around each other in times of need. I have Brolly back. She had 2 weeks break in Boscastle and then 2 nights on a boat in Penryn. I can only assume that she had a great time. There will be 3 of us walking tomorrow, what fun! We intend camping out tomorrow night.
