Did a fine walk on Tuesday mainly through woodland beside the West Looe river. We got back about 2 so half of us did a short walk eastwards along the coastal path and back. Did two fine walks from Polperro on Wednesday. The morning one was a loop out west and very up and down and quite arduous. Beautiful weather though and we saw dolphins, a seal and Rainbow Warrior (in the background).
Had lunch in Polperro.In the afternoon we walked back from Polperro along the coastal path. M stormed on ahead but she had missed the morning walk.Won the quiz night at The Jolly Sailor in the evening.
Woke up on Thursday to a picture of a sleepy Madeline
Got pinged while sitting on Looe station waiting for the train back as did Kelvin. The contact was on 11th so most likely on the train out. Did a PCR test when we got back. Infections in Cornwall are quite a bit higher than Reading but there was a fair bit of awareness and precautions being taken particularly in the hotel. Had a goolie zoom in the evening. Went for a ride with Andy and Kelvin on Friday. We had planned to go to The Ramsbury brewery with Stuart and Graham but cancelled because of the pings. Got our test results when we stopped at The Loddon Brewery. All negative. Did just over 30 miles.
Went up to London on Saturday to see a play called Into Battle with Tom and Sally. We thought about driving but there seemed to be quite a few hold ups so opted for the train which was a bit of a mistake as we'd not taken into account the covid aspect. Really crowded with people standing and a lot without masks including the woman I was sitting next to. Quite bad on the tube platform too but not too bad on the tube itself and the train out to Blackheath. Pictures of Madeline arrived in granny's jumper and Sally's blanket.
T n S cooked us a fantastic meal and then we walked down to the Greenwich Theatre. Really enjoyed the play although the ending was a bit last episode of Blackadderish. Had a couple of pints afterwards and got an Uber back as I'd turned my ankle on the way down. Headed off on Sunday about midday only the find there were no trains from Blackheath. Ended up on a very crowded bus to Greenwich North tube. Train from Paddington looked like it was going to be crowded so we upgraded to first class. Got pinged again . This time the contact was on the 14th so most likely on the train on the way back from Looe. Booked PCR tests for Monday morning.
