Cornish Ramblings: Cholesterol - is it good or bad?
http://cornishramblings.blogspot.com/2011/01/cholesterol-is-it-good-or-bad.html
Rambling feet and rambling thoughts! Monday, 24 January 2011. Cholesterol - is it good or bad? Recently I was offered the opportunity to take part in a trial of Flora pro-activ, a spread containing plant sterols which can, they say, lower LDL cholesterol by 10-15%. Well, why not, I thought, especially as it wasn't going to cost me anything, not even for the cholesterol tests I would have to have done before and after starting the four week trial. So I signed up. Total: 3.95 (recommended below 5.0). Truck...

Cornish Ramblings: April 2010
http://cornishramblings.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Rambling feet and rambling thoughts! Monday, 12 April 2010. Sunshine, blue skies - can this really be Dartmoor? What do you call a Cornish Hedge when it's in Devon? At the risk of offending some sensibilities, I'll have to call it a Cornish Hedge as I know of no other name for a double stone wall filled with earth, covered with grass, hedging plants and sometimes even whole trees growing on and in it. How do you get over a Cornish Hedge? Friday, 2 April 2010. King Arthur's Hall and back, that was the plan.

Trucking in English; if it's not a lorry, can it have a bonnet? Trucking in English is moving. In the interests of having the sort of functionality I need for hosting podcasts (yes, they really are coming soon) I have b. My knee . and Plymouth Aquarium!

Cornish Ramblings: January 2010
http://cornishramblings.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Rambling feet and rambling thoughts! Tuesday, 26 January 2010. I almost always come home a little wiser from our walking days; there's always something to learn. One lesson I took from last Sunday's expedition was never to rely on the driver knowing where we are going, even if he 'has' got SatNav! What was wrong, I asked myself, in going up the hill to Luxulyan and then taking the signposted lane to Lanlivery - single track it may have been, but at least it had passing places. Wednesday, 6 January 2010.

Cornish Ramblings: November 2010
http://cornishramblings.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Rambling feet and rambling thoughts! Saturday, 13 November 2010. A simple task. Pick up smallish boat and trailer from dinghy park, drive round to Millbrook, hand over boat, come home. Nice day out, take the dog, perhaps stop off for a pasty and a pint on the way back, lovely. Or not. By the time I'd walked back lots of things had happened: the police had stopped by and told him to get his triangles out (! The next bright idea was to use a trolley jack as a roller skate under the broken axle. This lo...

Cornish Ramblings: March 2010
http://cornishramblings.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Rambling feet and rambling thoughts! Monday, 22 March 2010. Walking with wild ponies. We started at Foredown, and as soon as we opened the car door the pony trotted over. Nose to nose it went with Ty, pony and dog breathing each other's breath for a good five minutes before Ty turned his head away. I got the treatment next, being thoroughly investigated in all the places I could possibly have pockets (all empty, alas! Minions itself was very busy with parked cars and serious mudrunners in lycra, but we h...

Cornish Ramblings: Tamar Valley from the 'Wrong, Side - Bere Alston
http://cornishramblings.blogspot.com/2010/10/tamar-valley-from-wrong-side-bere.html
Rambling feet and rambling thoughts! Sunday, 17 October 2010. Tamar Valley from the 'Wrong, Side - Bere Alston. I like it when a ramble in the countryside throws up questions - what's this plant? I like it even more when I find some answers. Last Sunday's circular walk from Bere Alston railway station, along the Tamar on the Devon side and back was one of those days. The book didn't say.

Cornish Ramblings: December 2013
http://cornishramblings.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Rambling feet and rambling thoughts! Sunday, 15 December 2013. One of the odd things about living on a 'border', particularly one formed by a confluence of several rivers, is that it can sometimes be quicker, easier and cheaper to cross over twice than to travel round the edge. As it was today. The plan was to walk at Mount Edgcumbe. Which is on the Cornwall side of the Tamar. So is my home in Saltash, but 20 miles or so away by road. Taking the bridge into Plymouth and the Cremyll Ferry. Down is always ...
