This morning we left Devon for Cornwall. As a child we&#8217;d take the A30 from Bodmin each summer. Now some of it is even dual carriageway.<br \/>\nWe stopped first at St Buryan.  This is part of the route tomorrow. The church tower is under repair and the pub won&#8217;t be open on Tuesday lunchtime. We had enough time for ice-cream: it&#8217;s a holiday ritual with us.<br \/>\nWe went onto Porthgwarra, a tiny hamlet near Gwennap Head for a short walk on the coast path. The lanes were full of flowers: violets, alexanders, three-cornered leeks, primrose,  bluebell, celandines. This is one of the things I love most about walking in the Spring.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_36312028690408.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_36312028690408.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37 alignnone size-full\" width=\"3920\" height=\"2204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_36312028690408.jpg 3920w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_36312028690408-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_36312028690408-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_36312028690408-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_36312028690408-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIt was a bit cloudy such that rays of sun pierced the cloud layer and played across the grey sea like spotlights. The rocks on the coast were bearded with lichen, covered with a grey green fleece. It was an unexpected part of the South West Coast Path to add to our itinerary.<br \/>\nLater we met Hannah at Penzance from the London train. We are ready, as team Lees Warwicker, to begin our third End to End.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_3643578916139.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_3643578916139.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38 alignnone size-full\" width=\"3920\" height=\"2204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_3643578916139.jpg 3920w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_3643578916139-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_3643578916139-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_3643578916139-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dsc_3643578916139-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the jewelled hedgerows<br \/>\nI am thankful.<br \/>\nFor the bearded rocks<br \/>\nI am thankful.<br \/>\nFor the sun&#8217;s spotlight on the sea<br \/>\nI am thankful.<br \/>\nFor meeting, greeting and starting again,<br \/>\nI am thankful.<\/p>\n<p>JAL 01.04.2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s now the day before I am due to start the End to End at Land&#8217;s End.
