By now you may realise that our friend Roland and I went to Looe in Cornwall – you ought to as I have mentioned it a few times in my blog posts. It’s just that Looe, and the trip itself, came as a complete surprise to me. I hadn’t planned on going anywhere, then I was going to go fishing, then it rained, and then I was suddenly going to Cornwall.

Often the best of times are had when things happen impromptu, as they did yesterday. In fact, the day was full of surprises, not least because I thought I had been to Looe before and I wasn’t expecting the town to be as big, or as old (some of the buildings date back to the fourteen hundreds), or as beautiful. As you will see from the photographs, the beach and coastline are spectacular.

I was also surprised to learn that a friend of ours had been in Looe on the same day; then later last evening, when Chris and I were watching the property programme, “A Place in the Sun – Home or Away”, where do you think one of the home houses was located? You guessed it!
