@UPSHelp That's funny - I did that 4 times yesterday, and no response. Then you tell me at the end of the day it won't be delivered until today..... you just keep proving the point.....

[Karen Wells-west @kayakdoris]

I dread hearing that a parcel is going to be delivered by @UPS .....a total shambles - I take the day off work, no parcel, no communication - how do you manage to keep afloat as a business? @UPSHelp @WhichUK @MoneySavingExp

[Karen Wells-west @kayakdoris]

@SouthWestWater Thank you, but the live link only works a few hours after we have no water, hence the tweet!

[Karen Wells-west @kayakdoris]

Any idea why we have no water in Golant @SouthWestWater ? It's not showing on the active map

[Karen Wells-west @kayakdoris]

@FishermansFowey @SouthWestWater Thanks Nick - much more helpful!

[Karen Wells-west @kayakdoris]

Somewhat ironic, but yet again @SouthWestWater we have no water in Golant - nothing showing on the interactive map and no one answering the phone. Can you tell us what has happened please?

[Karen Wells-west @kayakdoris]

@NearbyWild @rlewington2 @RichardFoxBC @Team4Nature300 Very envious! We love those!

[Encounter Cornwall @kayakcornwall]

Before we set off we always have a good briefing, telling you about what we're going to do, how we're going to do it, and a short lesson on paddling. Hopefully, that make everyone relaxed… https://t.co/Vnt7wl6wG2

[Encounter Cornwall @kayakcornwall]

We always give a good safety briefing, and lesson on paddling before we start, so hopefully you will feel nice and relaxed for your trip! #guidedtour #golant @LoveFowey @ILoveCornwallUK @LooeLove @GreenTourismUK

@davidwhiteshow Morning David, my weekend highlight was kayaking from Golant to Lerryn with @kayakcornwall on Saturday, followed by your fab new BW 😁 It’s 1988 & I think the mystery song might be Never Tear Us Apart by INXS x

A selection of arable ‘weeds’ from the fields on St Mary’s, #Scilly - the farming system hasn’t resulted in the exclusion of these ephemeral specialists & it’s a joy to see them brightening the fields - fumitory, scarlet pimpernel, black nightshade and storks bill #wildflowerhour

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

It's #BeesNeeds week! Why not help support them and other pollinators by filling your garden and outdoor spaces with pollinator-friendly plants all year round? 🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝

[Encounter Cornwall @kayakcornwall]

Exactly - this is what we think. It can be a bit daunting when faced with all the media coverage about plastic and pollution, but if everyone gets into the habit of thinking and doing even a little, it all adds up! https://t.co/9ZadKEA9qG

[Encounter Cornwall @kayakcornwall]

Cafe Kayak garden looking blooming lovely - spot the alternative containers..... we're open from 10am, so come over and enjoy! #homemade #guidedtour #hire #awardwinning @LoveFowey @ILoveCornwallUK @LooeLove @CornwallLifeMag

In our village - too dangerously near for a top up! https://t.co/FPm45HU4m2

[Melin chy @Always_Cornwall]

Less than 4 miles from Mellingey, had the chance of a tour around Fowey valley Cider based in Golant. The tour run by the owner Barrie, competently assisted by Jo, a really interesting tour, their knowledge passion & expertise was evident! They make Foy Gin too! @foweyvalley

[Railholiday @Railholiday]

The community orchard funded by our tree champions has apples! Combined a watering session with a #2minutelitterpick

[Encounter Cornwall @kayakcornwall]

We should frame this! Plenty of opportunity to enjoy the slightly cooler temps on the water with us. Upstream til Weds, then downstream to Fowey.... #guidetour #hire #awardwinning @FoweyInfo @ILoveCornwallUK @LooeLove
