Polruan, summer 2011 |
I'm in Cornwall! Hurrah! That's number 5 ticked off. Hopefully the weather is behaving and I'm sitting out in the garden of our holiday cottage with a nice cold cider. I thought this might be a good time for my first 25 Before 24 update.

Re #23, you don't need a fancy DAB radio- I listen to the radio on my tv mostly.
ReplyDeleteI know there are other ways - I listen on the internet when I'm using the laptop - but I'd like it to be really easy to come home & stick the radio on quickly. I don't have a TV at all either!
