Lovely start to my Friday morning as usual thank you Ron. The birdsong was a lovely accompaniment. So glad you took your camera and looking forward to next week.
Good morning Ron. So pleased you packed the camera with the Speedos. A stunning production. Hopefully we will be back there in autumn/early winter and will then restudy your Padstow/Rock walk library.
I love resorts out of season before the crowds arrive. For me, that's the best time. You got some really great shots here - terrific birdsong too Another great video Ron - well done. The music was rather excellent too. Hope you have a good weekend. Take care, Paul
Hi Paul, hope all is well with you. I liked the birds singing, but the rooks were a pain. Liked Louise's film, a chip off the old block. Look after yourself. Ron
Morning Ron. Ah you cant beat Cornwall especially out of season. Mind you even last summer Tanya and myself were able to find some nice quiet spots .Stay safe Pete
@@ParkinsonsWalks he's just over a year old now and doing very nicely. He's got so much energy but also starting to be nicely behaved. Syd has a very sweet nature which is normal for his breed. Yes he will be going most places.
Good morning Ron and thank you for today's video from Cornwall. It is obviously one of your favourite places to visit and I see you have even gone as far as having your own boat moored there - look at the registration on the boat at exactly 4 minutes into the video! I love Cornwall too, although the last time I was down there walking on Bodmin Moor I lost my phone whilst walking between Rough Tor and Brown Willy (no sniggering at the back there please). Thankfully, I met up with someone who offered to walk the path with me again and to keep ringing my number to see if we could here it as we walked by. After only a short distance we heard it and I found the phone in some grass behind a rock. I would never have found it using eyesight alone. The battery was almost exhausted as the phone was still running some of the navigation apps that I use, so all in all I was extremely fortunate that day! Looking forward to next weeks offering Ron. in the meantime, have a great week. Regards Trev
Hi Trev, last walk I did on the moors was using a map and compass, not as easy as it sounds on featureless moorland with mist not far away. I think I got home more by luck than judgment, it is much easier now I imagine - provided you don't lose your phone!! What a kind person you met, not many of those left. Keep tramping. Ron
@@ParkinsonsWalks Yes, I always carry paper map and compass as a backup. In this case I wasn't lost and even the cost of a new phone paled into insignificance compared to having to re-instate all my apps and contacts etc!! What did we ever do before these wretched things were invented!!
Morning Ron, you seem to have a very good knack of framing your subject so well. Nice to see Padstow without it teeming with people. I saw a layout the other day on youtube where someone has recreated the old line from the other side of the bridge all the way down to the station and fish packing warehouse. It was wonderful! Cheers Simon
Hi Simon, I'll go looking for that layout film, sounds right up my street. I hope you were usefully employed on your retirement day this week, I guess Suzanne made sure of that. Ron
Boodiful! I haven’t been to Kernow since September 22 and this has Topped me up with “Merlin Magic” for now, trouble is tho I’m fancying a Pasty, and I haven’t even had Breakfast yet😂🥟🏴☠️
Well, Ron. That was up to your usual standard. I noticed you had the nice lady assistant with you, keeping you in check . Mary knows Padstow very well, or so she tells me! Beautiful sunsets at the end of the day, but you do have to be patient at times. Was that you and Pauline dueting at the end?
Hi Lionel, yes Mary is right, you do need patience for sunset hunting, that is why my 'Lady Assistant' wasn't with me for that part. A few days without rain at last. Enjoy. Ron
Mornin' Ron, I always love seeing the water so flat and calm, especially in harbours areas, really adds to the atmosphere, but ....... no dredgers!!! Nice interview with the old ferryman though!! When are you coming round with the pasties, I can see there is a queue forming ..... I'm back home at the moment but will be going back for the funeral in a weeks time. Its an interesting contrast for my wife and the Spanish side of the family. Over here the funeral takes place within two days, which always seems far too quick to me but stretching it out is really no better. We are busy with preparations. Mum is doing well too. Have a great weekend
Hi David, great to hear from you, I didn't know if you would post this week you must have a lot going on. I guess a little normality helps. I can't think what has happened to your pasty, it must have got stuck in the post. Keep smiling, thinking of you. Pauline & Ron
@@ParkinsonsWalks The great pasty mystery, it will have been stopped at customs no doubt ..... Lots going on at the moment, but we're getting there. All the best!!
Hi Ron. Absolutely beautiful videography as we have come to expect, and many opportunities to extract calendar views for those more inclined to water than rail. Remember, I'm first in line as distributor/manager of the enterprise. I'm glad to see you had the opportunity of a bit of a holiday and that the weather cooperated. OVM was making mournful noises from the garage today. I discovered her sitting next to a moderate heap of polyester stuffing and a rather deflated plush squirrel toy that I had purchased for her yesterday. I can attest that dogs can express guilt far better with their facial expression than most humans, and her look was classic. I reckon I'll be visiting "Dollarama" tomorrow for a replacement. Yes, I admit, she has me wrapped around her metacarpal digit.Have a good week Ron, see you on Friday.
Ron, that dog is so spoiled especially since she was so sick last year. The other day she lay on the floor in front of her bowl, nose stretched out, whining quietly. The bowl was full of delicious, healthy food. I had previously made the mistake of adding a bit of fried "hotdog" to her food, that she loved. I was out of them, so I hopped on my bike at 10:00 p.m. to hit the nearest late night dispensary of aforementioned delicacy. I got home, cut about a third of one into small bits, popped it in the microwave then stirred it into the food in her bowl. She wolfed it down. Let's just say that I always make sure that I have hotdogs in the fridge now...@@ParkinsonsWalks
@@jamesweekes6726 Hi James, that is the problem with an intelligent dog, she knows what buttons to press. Still I guess she pays you back in companionship and entertainment, well worth the price. Ron
Very nice video. It looks so relaxing and so very pleasant. I can see why you go on vacation there. Some very artistic photos and still life's. I am impressed!!!!
@@ParkinsonsWalks Yeah, always impressed with your videos. They are relaxing, informative and witty; a breath of fresh air. Anyhoooo, I am heading out of town again for best part of a month, so yet again one step forward and two backwards in my quest to keep up to date. Toodles, Ian.

Hi Marilyn, my son and I were on the GWHR last weekend, and managed to stay awake! Take care. Ron
The joys of spring with summer on the horizon. Let's hope it's a good one. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Hi Malcolm, we have even had a few days without rain this week, things are looking up. Take care. Ron
Good morning Ron. So pleased you packed the camera with the Speedos. A stunning production. Hopefully we will be back there in autumn/early winter and will then restudy your Padstow/Rock walk library.
We won't be there again until Next March Rodney, seems a long way away. Ron

How nice to be there in the quiet season, Ron, and not have to mix with all the hoi polloi! I'm glad you took your camera.
Hi Jim, no riff raff for us! Hope you are well. Ron
Morning Ron. Ah you cant beat Cornwall especially out of season. Mind you even last summer Tanya and myself were able to find some nice quiet spots .Stay safe Pete
Hi Pete, do you take the hound with you? Ron

Love Padstow a beautiful place or we call it Padstien 👍👍👍

Yes could do with a pasty myself Donni, look what you have started. Ron
Thank You Ron, for taking us on a piece of your Holiday. That was a beautiful sunset to watch.
It was a pleasure to share it with you Charles. Ron

Ron, I feel the same about Dartmouth as you do about Padstow. My bi-annual visit draws near and I hope that you enjoyed yours. Peter
It was lovely Peter, is there any special reason you are attracted to Dartmouth? Ron
