Doc Martin is back again

Okay, okay so I'm a devotee and proud of it.  I'm SUCH a devotee that I even made sure I visited the town of Port Isaac (Port Wenn is the TV name) where Doc Martin is filmed.  And unlike other locations it is almost exactly like you see on the teev.  I loved it, it is one of the most beautiful places we visited on our UK tour in 2008. 
And to prove I was there, here are my photos of the cove, the Doc's surgery and the steep road up to it, Louisa's cottage, the Large family restaurant, etc. etc.  I heartily recommend a visit if you are in that part of the world, you won't be disappointed. 
The locals were really funny though, they were a bit huffy if you mentioned the TV series and rolled their eyes. Seems they were fed up to the back teeth of film crews barging in and disrupting their idyllic life.  I see they were talked into filming this latest series again though (money talks !)

Hail Caesar? no Hail Ballarat

Wow, what a storm. Some of the biggest hail stones I have ever seen. 

My patio at 3.30 pm

I have also taken a few videos which I shall attempt (for the first time, note) to upload to Youtube. They even have sound!  I'll keep you posted.  Must get off the computer - shouldn't be on it in a storm so they tell me.

Anyone for coffee?.....

..Coffee coloured purses I mean.  These have been on the boil for several weeks and I had time to finish them on the weekend.

A short pictorial blog today, alas no time to wax lyrical!

It's Mental Health Week

..which is just as well as I could do with a bit of mental health.  I'm feeling like one of those poor mice on a treadmill.  If I get off will I go off in a spin around the room and land splat in a huddle on the floor? 

Or will I in time resemble this poor dear?   (I sincerely hope not.)

At least she's remembered to pencil in her eyebrows !

I crave some of the time-honoured wisdom of Phyllis Diller, a mad and funny lady herself -
