What’s Hot

Exasperation

One of the issues we often address on the Rust is the interference of the Internet and automatic voice response into customer relations. Yesterday I got no Sky signal which I attributed to the adverse weather. In such moments I fiddle with the cables loosely referred to as rebooting which normally [...]

Cricket at Arundel

Yesterday was the beginning of Arundel Festival week one of the most enjoyable events in the Sussex CCC calendar. Sadly the rain that has spoiled this summer and the cricket championship did not abate and play could only start at 2-30pm. Arundel is considered the most beautiful ground in the [...]

A la Colthard/Harry’s Bar

When a rich and successful businessman I know suggested for his turn for lunch we go to Harry’s bar in South Audley Street my mind went back to another businessman from Birmingham who once there resolutely refused to pay for truffles on the basis there that the waiter did not explain the [...]

Golfing weekend

The US Open may not be remembered for Dustin Johnson’s first major but for some officiously unhelpful refereeing by the US PGA. The incident in question arose over a putt. Johnson took two practice strokes and as he shaped to take the actual stroke the ball moved. He summoned the referee who [...]

Life on the ocean wave

My Godson Jamie yesterday had his much anticipated mackerel birthday fishing trip. He had been looking forward to this for ages but so volatile has been the weather that I worried it may be adjourned. The old boy who sold the ticket and might have benefited from a  course in customer service did [...]

Wrapping up

I would like to initiate a debate – along the lines of the tv v attendance one – on whether it’s better to stay at home or take a British holiday. There are the variables of weather as in our week we only had one rainless day in seven. For all the beauty of Pridmouth Cove the [...]

Last day

Sod’s law that our last full day should be the finest weather-wise. Finally we had a day of warm sunshine and no lashing rain. We duly decamped to nearby Polkerris Beach, a delightful cove, and ate seafood al fresco overlooking the beach on the sands at Sam’s Bistro. We returned in time [...]

A La Colthard

I always appreciate being part of the Rust trip to Cornwall. My namesake is  a woman after my own heart who put her passions first!!  I’ve been put in charge of restaurants and here is my review of those visited: THE LUGGER This is pub in the centre of Fowey in which serves copious face. [...]

Beyond Menabilly

Finally we have weather dry enough to venture out of Pridmouth Cottage. It’s not exactly a burning summer’s day but at least it’s dry enough to take the coastal path to the Gribben. The Gribben is a red and white watchtower operating as a sea and landmark. Beacons were hung to [...]
