Wondering if my trip to Looe might be a mistake. The forecast is for 14 m/s wind. That's described on yr.no as

Stiv kuling fra vest

Which Google translates as

Stiff gale from the west

Which sounds alarming.

But if I switch yr.no to English yr.no describes as

Moderate gale from west

Before the bar I wandered around Looe looking for a café. Ended up in the Courtyard.

Had a mocha and a scone. No WiFi. So I made some notes in Google Keep.

Mocha not to my taste, rather thin. I wonder if it was made with some kind of vegan milk. The scone was good and a decent size, the jam was also better than the usual tiny jar.

The Liskeard to Looe train takes a scenic route but it's hard to photograph. Much of it is temperate rain forest and the foliage hangs over the line.

Sudden thought. Yesterday in Tavistock I went to the Co-op to buy a few groceries. I wanted bread for toast and a chose the Co-op own brand super seeded. When I glanced at the ingredients list I was rather surprised at how long it was with flour improvers and preservatives.

I should check the ingredients of a typical Norwegian loaf.
