Sometimes a short trip fills me up even more than a longer one. My late summer walks took in miles over moors and coast, and I took bus trips to Penzance, Sennen, St. Ives, and Morvah. Storm Agnes blew quickly through mid-week with high winds, dark clouds and rain behind. Good day for cosy projects in the flat.











It was also a grand time for late summer butterflies, and I saw an adder on the path between Carn Gloose and Cape Cornwall. The adder is the only venomous snake in England, a protected species, shy but potentially dangerous.
