Early on during Day 12 of the walk I lost my stylish red head band (seen in this photo). There has been a cold wind for several days and I like to keep my ears warm. When the sun came out and things warmed up then I took off
the head band. A few steps further on and round the corner the cold wind came back but then I couldn’t find the red headband. I’d lost it somewhere during the last mile. I texted Bob and he kindly went back to look for it. A few minutes later he drove up behind me and handed me the red head band. He’d found it!
I wrote him a little ditty (the tune is Swing Low).
Song for Bob
I looked down the lane and what did I see
Coming with my red ear ‘ole warmer?
A silver Picanto coming after me,
Coming with my red ear ‘ole warmer.
Swing low, sweet Picanto,
Coming with my red ear ‘ole warmer.
Swing low, sweet Picanto,
Coming for to bring me home.
He has a busy time doing shopping, washing and looking for lost items as well as coming back to walk with me when he can. Sometimes he gets cake as a thank you.
(these are the first mangelwurzels of the walk)
It was the shortest walking day so far. It included crossing the border between Cornwall and Devon.
Things to note from Cornwall:
A county lined with hedges deep with wild flowers;
Small strips of woodland with bluebells ready to come out very soon;
Stunning coast line and beautiful rivers;
Good stuff to eat: pasties, clotted cream;
Historic things to see as well as contemporary ones;
Friends to meet and greet.
In 12 days I have walked the length of Cornwall.
