Yesterday, I went down to Cornwall and cycled the Camel Trail - 40 odd miles of woodland, river, and estuary. This is the halfway and turnaround point at Padstow Harbour.

Province launches new study to improve 'dangerous' Highway 138
The province is commencing a new study of Highway 138, a single-lane highway between Highway 417 and Cornwall, Ont., that's been the site of multiple fatal crashes over the years.
This walk in #Cornwall from Porthclais includes an attractive stretch of coastline, interesting rock arches, old limekilns, St Davids St Justinians & remains of St Justinian’s Chapel. Includes the fabulous beach at Whitesands Bay. See

@michaelgrainger@social.vivaldi.net There are a quite a few people and posts relating to Cornwall on here, and quite a few genealogists too. I follow the #Cornwall hashtag, so see quite a lot of good posts.
Went to Truro Pride today with kiddo.
Parade was turned into a solidarity march this year, due to gross BS that's happened locally recently. (Drag story time cancelled due to threats.)
Highlight was seeing someone dressed as Spider-Man who, after the march, was happy to pose with kiddo for photos.
Regardless of it being a march, it was smaller than previous years in the city.

One of the joys of #Norfolk, like #Cornwall, is that it always a #destination never a place you pass through.

#FollowTheMoney 🧵 7/n Now something different - this really is a rag bag, really just adding things as they come along, occur to me, no careful crafting! Just things that enable you to trace and understand how money flows to the rich, how accumulation works. So here, a piece, with this fantastic map, of second homes in the UK, in #Cornwall in particular. Key arena of widening #WealthGap #Inequality

The heather starting to flower near Chapel Porth. Wonderful views towards Wheal Coates. A shot from a nice walk yesterday. Despite the tranquil scene here it was pretty blowy!

Pentire to Doyden Point (and back again)
18c with a light breeze, and we saw a chough! Their range is spreading further up the coast.

Agi: Kate Middleton entusiasta di Bologna. E William annuncia: "Viaggerà di più"
AGI - Il 'test' a Bologna è stato un successo e ora la principessa Kate è pronta a "riprendere gradualmente a fare più viaggi all'estero". William ha detto al programma radiofonico mattutino 'Heart' che la Principessa del Galles era "entusiasta" della sua visita in Italia, il primo viaggio all'estero dopo la diagnosi di cancro del 2024. "Ne ha passate così tante negli ultimi due anni e non vedeva l'ora di fare il viaggio in Italia, quindi sono davvero contento che sia andata così bene", ha detto il futuro re.
La fine della malattia
Kate, 44 anni, ha annunciato di essere in remissione dal cancro nel gennaio 2025 e da allora è gradualmente tornata ai suoi impegni pubblici. "È una mamma fantastica, una moglie fantastica, e letteralmente la nostra famiglia non potrebbe farcela senza di lei", ha detto William parlando dalle Isole Scilly al largo della costa della Cornovaglia, nel sud-ovest dell'Inghilterra. Ha parlato anche della genitorialità, compreso il tragitto per accompagnare i bambini a scuola, che "può essere" caotico.
"Charlotte, Louis, se mi state ascoltando, assicuratevi di essere puntuali e di non litigare su chi ascolta cosa stamattina", ha detto William rivolgendosi ai suoi due figli più piccoli. L'erede al trono ha rivelato che in macchina tiene dei panini con la marmellata per il piccolo Louis, 8 anni: "Lascia impronte di marmellata dappertutto", ha commentato. Il figlio maggiore, George, 12 anni, è in collegio.
Il cellulare e le passioni
Ultimamente William ha rilasciato più interviste personali e l'anno scorso ha rivelato che lui e Kate hanno vietato l'uso del telefono per proteggere i loro figli.
Il principe, che ha ammesso di "non essere affatto una persona mattiniera", ha detto che la sua colazione preferita è "uova su pane a lievitazione naturale" e di apprezzare la musica "motivazionale" e di "adorare la musica dance". Ha anche parlato dell'Europa League e della vittoria dell'Aston Villa, la squadra di calcio per cui tifa. "Mi sono emozionato moltissimo, e sapete, seguo l'Aston Villa da quasi tutta la vita. E' stato un momento importantissimo per tutti noi tifosi".
Kate Middleton is thrilled about Bologna. And William announces: "She will travel more."
AGI - The ‘test’ in Bologna was a success, and now Princess Kate is ready to “gradually resume making more trips abroad.” William said on the morning radio program ‘Heart’ that the Princess of Wales was “enthusiastic” about her visit to Italy, the first foreign trip since her 2024 cancer diagnosis. “She’s been through so much in the last two years and she couldn’t wait to take the trip to Italy, so I’m really pleased it went so well,” said the future king.
The End of Illness
Kate, 44, announced she was in remission from cancer in January 2025 and has since gradually returned to her public engagements. “She’s a fantastic mum, a fantastic wife, and literally our family couldn’t manage without her,” said William speaking from the Isles of Scilly off the coast of Cornwall, southwest England. He also spoke about parenting, including the journey to take the children to school, which “can be” chaotic.
“Charlotte, Louis, if you’re listening, make sure you’re on time and don’t argue about what you’re listening to this morning,” said William addressing his two younger children. The heir to the throne revealed that he keeps jam sandwiches in the car for little Louis, 8: “He leaves jam fingerprints everywhere,” he commented. The older son, George, 12, is at boarding school.
The Cellphone and Passions
Recently William has given more personal interviews and last year he revealed that he and Kate have banned the use of phones to protect their children.
The Prince, who admitted he “is not at all a morning person,” said his favorite breakfast is “eggs on sourdough bread” and that he appreciates “motivational” music and “loves dance music.” He also spoke about the Europa League and the victory of Aston Villa, the football team he supports. “I was so moved, and you know, I’ve been following Aston Villa for almost my whole life. It was a really important moment for all of us fans.”
