A short journal of an early September week that I spent at the Lizard Peninsula on the Southern Coast of Cornwall, the most southerly point on British mainland. Here I make visits to Falmouth, Helston, and many more nearby places of interest that are close to 'Sea Acres Holiday Park where I was visiting.
While this book isn't as great as Peyton's other books, it's still gets 5 stars for the circumstances under which he wrote it. Peyton has cancer and is going to undergo surgery shortly after this trip to the lizard peninsula in wales. He is not his chipper self. of course not. But he tries. While he is freed from cancer as shown in one of his other books, the last book he wrote was The Loneliest Hobo, and that was 5 years ago.
Peyton and his wife Pam drive to the coast to take some short walks. While his wife never likes to go on walks, she is still with him and when he parks away from the town she thinks that he could get towed away. He is just trying to save money on parking, but then he learns that to get to town he has to walk up and down a big hill. This is not something he wishes to do in his condition. I think maybe he is just too stubborn to get his car and drive closer to town and to the peninsula.
