Mount Edgcumbe. More specifically, heading over from Plymouth for a brief paddle and wander through the gardens, and timing it just right to stop off at the Edgcumbe Arms for half a pint of Thatchers' Juicy Apple, looking out over a glorious blue sea and a cloudless sky, and watching the little ferry come sputtering over the water to bring a huge crowd of people back. There's not much that feels nicer than timing something just right.

Back to winning ways for Nottinghamshire Outlaws in the One-Day Cup cricket. A 6 wicket win over Surrey, at the Oval, sees them progress to the quarter finals stage. :D

Actually it was yesterday, when my older granddaughter got her A level results and confirmation of a place at Exeter University to read Medicine.

Well, in Surrey the schools have not resumed. I was VERY happy today because I went with my ex-wife (we get on well!), my daughter and 3 year old grandson to a local playground. Some kind children, about 6 years old, politely opened the gate for us without being asked and we thanked them after we had gone through. It was wonderful to see all the children in the playground running around and laughing, none of them using any phones or screens. I saw children patiently waiting turns and no queue jumping for a go on the equipment. It made this old man very happy indeed to see that at least some young children are being brought up with manners, politeness and selflessness.
