Sunday 26th June (The Heatwave Arrives)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window into a blue Cornish sky. Today the much awaited heatwave was just warming the cold fresh air. Mr. Kite sat around eating and drinking coffee as the thermometer needle headed towards 20C. At midday it was warm enough for The Incapacitants to go for a walk.

Today was a walk around the local area to the top of the peaks and to spot birds. So in the bright warm sunshine The Incapacitants scaled the 657 feet of Chapel Carn Brea the most westerly hill in England followed by the trig point on Barline Castle, Sancreed Beacon and Carn Bran. The birds included Common Whitethroat, Mistle Thrush and a Woodlark.

Finally The Incapacitants explored the ancient village of Carn Euny. Now this is a remarkable place to visit where the foundations of the ancient village still exist with an underground chamber where a Swallow lives.

Aftera walk in the sun in the Cornish hills it was time for Mr. Kite to enjoy a tipple of Greene King Abbot Ale. Cheers from sunny Cornwall.
