On Saturday, Truro was busy with shoppers. It reminded me that almost a year ago Woolworths closed - the shop now occupying the former Woolworths store in Truro seemed to be doing a brisk trade.

It has been a restful day. I am taking it easy after a busy week and yesterday's Party Conference. The AGM went smoothly, there was an inspiring talk on modern campaign techniques from two Plaid Cymru members and the speeches in the afternoon were well received. Overall it was a very positive day, with many members reporting evidence of growing support across Cornwall. We are certainly looking forward...

Three cheers for Simon Jenkins and his very persuasive article advocating withdrawal from Afghanistan ( Face down the militarists and get out of Afghanistan. No strings attached , 17 November). However, he dismisses Boris Johnson's remark about the futility of lives already lost if we pull out now as brainless, which of course it is, but it is also emotionally very powerful.

So last night I played 5-a-side and coughed up half the contents of my lungs into my mouth. Then I couldn't sleep at all so decided to pass the time by unfollowing people on twitter and deleting "friends" off facebook. Whilst on twitter I came across Paul Carr , who I considered unfollowing but thought I'd read his blog and give him a final chance at redemption. I'm glad I did. Especially...

I'm heading off to Falmouth tomorrow, I wish it was going to be as nice weather as it was back in February when I took this photo . I have an interview for a place on the MA in Curatorial Practice on Friday so think good thoughts for me at round about half past two! Of course the interview is just the first step (or maybe it's the second or third) in what could be a long process, but who knows- this...

A glorious mixture of castles and spectacular camellia collections make up my choices for "C" gardens today, starting with Caerhays in Cornwall, which has some of the best camellias and magnolias I've ever seen, together with colour displays that will leave you speechless if you visit in the spring!

A town councillor for Falmouth, reacting to the news that Rick Stein has applied to extend his foodie empire to the Cornish town, states "we don't want this town becoming 'Falstein'." Oh really? Padstow (where the chef has several outlets already) has been nicknamed Padstein because it's, er, a pun – which doesn't work for Falmouth, as the more quick-witted of you will have worked...
