I went for my usual long walk around Bude, including the downs overlooking the beaches, Summerleaze beach, the breakwater, the canal and the ‘castle’. Bude is a very beautiful place, and the weather couldn’t have been better – sunny and warm, but with a rather cold breeze.

It always gives me a great feeling of calm and unwinding as I wander around the places familiar from my childhood. I feel very lucky to have a home town like this.
