Developments

Two entries in one day......this can't continue. Falmouth, it appears, is full of very nice people who don't really want to rent out their properties. Carolyn has written to offer me B & B for £840 a month which is at an allegedly reduced rate. There is a possibility of a 'proper' breakfast for another £35 a week. So, that's a non-starter. Alec, who is extremely personable, apart from the fact that he keeps calling me 'kid' and lives in Nottingham, wanted me to stay in his house but only for eleven months. Easter is not, apparently, financially viable. He recommended Vicky from down the road. Vicky claimed not to have heard from Alec for six years and said, enigmatically, that things had changed. I think she was sulking about Alec. Vicky might phone me at the weekend if she decides whether to rent out her spare room. Then there is Rosalee. Rosalee owns what sounds like the ideal self-contained appartment over-looking the estuary. It's more than I'd anticipated paying but sounds and looks wonderful and all bills are included. However, because it is so wonderful, Rosalee isn't sure that she wants people living in it. Poor people: they obviously need an income but wish they didn't. They don't want children, DSS, undergraduates, smokers or anyone that might foul the sheets. In fact, they want you to bring your own sheets. I have made some enquiries about caravans.
