Re: Francis....
I watched my garden furniture sailing off the decking.
I’ll retrieve it tomorrow when it’s calmed down. The sea is very rough. Loads of white horses.

Re: Francis....
Sliced banana, raspberries and Cornish ice cream at Chez Moby, maple syrup is too sweet for us these days
ps .... griddled slices of pineapple, pre marinated in rum and cinnamon is also worth a try
