  2. The Eye Well (or Bree Shute Well) in Bodmin—steeped in history and once famed for healing troubled eyes. The name "Bree" comes from the Cornish word for hill.

    The water here was once used by locals and even considered “fairly good” by a 19th-century report… though it turned out to be highly contaminated and possibly fatal. Sadly, the water today doesn’t look much better—I certainly wouldn’t fancy a drink!

  3. Stumbled across this cross, known as a Preaching Cross, just east of Bodmin Jail. This tall, wheel-headed cross could date back to the Celtic period, or perhaps the medieval era. The head is marked with an incised Greek Cross: a simple but striking design. A piece of history standing quietly by, witnessing stories from centuries past.

  4. #Trebah gardens was truly amazing (once more) yesterday.

  6. Having found that Ocean3D were the company who provided accessibility services to train operating company Lumo, I decided to see what else they had done, and saw that their clients include the National Autistic Society (which I very mixed feelings about)

    The example given for NAS was a 3D tour of a dental practice in the south west of England

    So now I can see that they’ve tied up the red cords in their changing-places toilet 😔

    They are supposed to hang to the floor – see e.g. euansguide.com/campaigns/red-e

  7. No TV or laptop in the bedroom, so #books and the odd foray into #Mastodon to keep me from going stir crazy in #covid isolation. Bought #JamaicaInn by #DaphneduMaurier on holiday this year, aptly in #Cornwall. Don't know if it's because I'm ill but feel slightly let down. Loved #Rebecca.
