Hi Gordon

I'm in St Ives too and often have a wander here and there to take a photo or ten.
Weekdays are best for me, I'm 58 and retired, but the missus still works so mainly do my thing whilst she earns a crust.

Send me a PM if you fancy a meet up, looks like our likes and dislikes are very similar

Cheers
Rich

I don't work now but I'm a full time carer and I often honestly don't know when I can grab free time. If anyone is planning anything in the Middlesbrough area maybe I could be considered a "maybe" with notice but please don't get annoyed if I can't come or say I will and cry off as I have to take each day as it comes and can sometimes only get out if everything is ok and I can arrange cover.
