Last week, we stayed in a small self catering cottage in Pendeen, Cornwall. It was the same place we stayed last time we went down there. It was a really nice trip. I love Cornwall. I always enjoy it, regardless of weather conditions. There is great food, wild scenery, and the cottage is always very cozy.
I must admit that I didn’t get much writing or carving done while we were there, but I did take quite a lot of photos. I did start carving a small duck while we were there, but that activity was cut short by a nasty burn I got from the wood stove. I’ll hopefully start working on it again here in a few days.
We went on 2 hikes while we were there. One of them was pretty short. We just walked down to Portheras Cove, which was fairly near to the cottage in which we were staying. The other hike was much longer. We walked from Cape Cornwall to Engine House, and we stopped on the way and ate our Cornish Pasties on some grass overlooking the sea. It was a great hike. It was very beautiful.
Overall, we didn’t do much aside from walk and eat delicious food, but it was a great trip. It was very relaxing and it was nice to spend time with Steph. Anyway, we’re doing comics again and I just wanted to let everyone know how last week went. I will hopefully have some woodcarving stuff to post sometime soon.
I wish I had a pasty and some Cornish ice cream. Anyway, I have to go for tonight. I shall return.
Yesterday Steph and I took a ride down to Whelford on our new bikes, and we rode along a little public footpath/road down there. We also brought our cameras and took some photos of the area. I’ll post a few below, but you’ll have to go my near home set on my flickr page to see all of them.
We’re still working on the HandRooster comic everyday, and we’re looking to promote it a bit better. If you know anyone that would like our comic, please let them know about us. We’d really like to have more readers. As of right now, we don’t really know who reads it or how many people. We can go on general web stats, but that includes a lot of bots for web searches, etc. Also, feel free to leave comments and let us know what you think about it.
Anyway, the photos from the bike ride are below. Let me know what you think. Have nice day!
Ahh. The weather has been so nice lately, although it is going to start getting a bit too hot for me if it keeps up this way. I hope it will be nice in Cornwall next week. Not much going on here. We’ve still been doing comics on HandRooster and I think Steph is starting to get very good at drawing them. Thay make me laugh, and I write them…so she must be executing them well.
I’m reading a Noam Chomsky book…I’ll probably write more about it when I finish it, but I’ve only just started. It is the first Chomsky book I’ve read, but I’ve also read some of his articles online and I’m a big fan of his general awesomeness. He is a very intelligent and inspiring human being.
Anyway, I’m still looking forward to next week. We’re going to bring our bikes and I think it will be good to get away and concentrate on doing nice things. I also like the food down there. I want a Cornish Pasty right now!
Well it is quite late so I’ll be off to bed now. Have a good one!
Ah, another entirely too short weekend is almost over. I hope everyone who chooses to celebrate Easter had a pleasant one. The weekend seemed so short, and we accomplished very little other than playing games and eating food. You may have noticed that we haven’t done comics this weekend. I don’t know for sure whether that will always be the case, but Steph didn’t have her regular illustration setup, so that was one barrier.
We’re going on vacation to Cornwall during the next upcoming week, so we’re not sure if we’ll have a comic for those days. Maybe we could make some ahead of time and post double this week. We’ll see what happens. I don’t know if I want to make Steph do that much drawing. I know I want to get some woodcarving and some reading done in the evenings while we’re there. I’m so excited to go…I love Cornwall and I’ll be so glad to be away from work.
Other than that, there isn’t much to say. I’m off to bed soon and I hope everyone has a nice day/night.
So I didn’t get to work on any woodcarving today, but we did try out our bikes. We also went to Bibury and I got a few photos there which I will post below:
We also worked a lot on getting various sections of our new web comic site, HandRooster. We still have a lot to do on the website, but at least it is up. We only have the 2 comics on there right now, but I’ve given Steph a bunch of content to illustrate so whenever she has time, she’ll be working on it. Hopefully I’ll have time to carve some wood tomorrow!
