I'm home. 1140+miles peddled - and Mabli ran about a quarter of that. Got to Newton Abbot Station around 17.45hrs yesterday on August 8th, and Steve came to pick me up. Chris and Susan came in with a bottle of Prosecco later that evening, after supper. Mabli was so pleased to see Steve. Good to be home, though I'm still quite euphoric - feet not quite settled on the ground.
It was very damp and misty when I left Little Bosanketh Farm - Mabli played with the farm pup all the way up the muddy farm track and in the fields, getting the zoomies. She's not had enough exercise then!
Cycling to Penzance - there's a picture of a potato in the verge at the roadside. There was a trail of potatoes! In Penzance, I went for breakfast, but also stopped in BakedPZ - a cake shop run by Steve's cousin's wife's sister. See pics.
The little bottle of wine was on the train from Penzance. I had been reading Ghee's account of his attendance at Plymouth's anti Nazi rally yesterday- scary - and he highlighted the fundraiser to rebuild the children's library that was destroyed in riots in Liverpool (spellow lane). So I donated the price of a cup of coffee (£5! - GOOD coffee) - wgen the train refreshments vendor came trundling along with her trolley. "I'm celebrating", I says - "i'll have some wine!" - and, when I told her what I was celebrating, she insisted on paying for my wine! Wow! - Pay it forward!
