Wet day forecast so decided to head off for long morning walk before the rain settles in. A lot of history on the Island and great to see the old castles and battlements. Looks like some developmentOkumaya devam et

Gezgin Lovely place Ceri. We enquired about going up the canal to Exeter but takes weeks to organise apparently!
Gezgin Interestingly it was also an area that we can considered to live in. Have you visited the NT property A La Ronde? Ah just checked and is temp closed. Guess it opens a week on Monday. Glad to hear that you are in a safe haven. Awful weather for May but sunshine in 10 days fingers crossed 🤞Just in time for your trip to Scilly Isles. Xx
Gezgin Fantastic 😊 Can't wait to see where you get to 👍🏻
Gezgin Woop woop!!! Great news guys...I’m sure Fino will look after you all! X
Gezgin Yay, have a fab time xx
