    Hake is the most available fish here in Cornwall always on the menus of pretty much all the restaurants so much so we got fed up with it ,at one point a certain quite famous chef had the same Hake dish in all of his restaurants in Padstow and  even his pub in St Merryn

    One of the very few good things to come from lockdown was that here in Cornwall the fishermen had no restaurants to sell to so sold direct to the public 

    have had more lobster and crab in the last year than ever before

    And one fishing boat has decided that it was so successful selling direct he now is doing it permanently 

    so far we have had Monkfish, John Dory , Hake , Cod , Haddock

    Pollack , Brill , Turbot Megram Sole and Dover sole and Mackerel 

    will start growing scales soon

    While I realise moving house is very stressful what I do love about it is the grand clear out that  of necessity goes with it -  positively theraputic for a card carrying chucker -outer like me!

    I also had a massive clear and Chuck exercise when we moved from Essex 

    sadly he did not and all of those unwanted never used tools , gadgets and meaningless cables are now resident in the garage he will sort them he has promised been here 18 months now !

    we also have banned the use of the loft

    Moving To Norfolk No

    I must confess to being a bit of a vagrant, myself.  I lived in NW London until I was 21, when I moved to Milton Keynes where affordable housing was still available.  Nine years later, having met and married ‘er indoors’ we moved to Towcester, which became home for about 16 years before moving to our current address on the outskirts of Northampton in 2002.  
    I have never missed London since leaving, although we made frequent visits until my parents moved to Milton Keynes in 1993 following my dad’s retirement and occasional subsequent visits to go to the theatre or other special events.

    If I’m honest, I’ve never truly felt at home anywhere I’ve lived, but hope that that feeling will finally be resolved when we eventually move to Norfolk.  Just hoping that the solicitors will finally conclude the legal bit soon, so we can get on with it.  Over the past few days, I’ve been going through some old birth and marriage certificates I found in mum’s house, after dad died and it turns out that the bungalow we are buying is only a few miles from where my great grandparents were born and married.  Perhaps that’s fate.

    I’m sure when you get settled you will love it

    for a long time we could not decide between Norfolk or Cornwall to retire to , we chose Cornwall and we love it but it is a long way from the boats well to anywhere really 

    so would never rule out another relocate back to Norfolk never back to Essex though !

    Ian - far from a booster being a possibility, I think Boris suggested it was a probability from the autumn onwards.

    Talk of a booster is a little premature for those of us still waiting our first vaccination not everyone in the first 6 categories have been vaccinated certainly not down here.

    For the first time in our married life Mick has been ironing and he has emptied the dishwasher , not a sudden want to do either just a necessary requirement as I’ve been diagnosed with frozen shoulder and can hardly move my right arm at present and am in constant pain, it’s nice to have a little help for a change !
