Helford Archives • Folksy Travel by Bill Smale

I did a cat sit for a very nice lady, Lynn, in Helford for about six days with a company called TrustedHousesitters. The cats name was Buzz and he was very shy in the beginning but then after a day and a half he became very friendly and talkative. This gave me a chance to drive around the countryside in that area which happens to be very beautiful, especially the ocean side. In the summertime I think the beaches are very nice for taking a dip.

Helston

This was an England TV show. I took a photo because you can see on the plate a typical England meal, something deep-fried with peas. I will tell you I always leave the peas on the plate because I hate them. When I was a kid we tried to feed the peas to the dog under the table and of course our parents would get very angry because the dog was not allowed at the table while we were eating. And my mother was not too happy we did not want to eat the peas. She finally wise up and stopped serving them. I am also not a fan of mashed potatoes. But when I was in Paris I found a mashed potatoes with cheese mixed in and it was very tasty. This just goes to show everything is relative.

Dirt road — Trying to go out to see some ancient tomb on a one-way /two way Country Rd.
