The first trip of the Pony Express was made in ten days - an average of two hundred miles a day. But we soon began stretching our riders and making better time.

 The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds - even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.
Joseph B. Wirthlin. Up on Bodmin Moor ,the tree portrays the harsh environment.  I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.
Dean Koontz.Mining buildings next to the Hurlers on Bodmin Moor  Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
Jacob Riis. The Hurlers at Minions on Bodmin Moor  When you feel like you're drowning in life ,dont worry your lifeguard walks on water .
 It's the little details I love. How to fletch your arrows with owl feathers, because owls fly silently, so maybe your arrows will, too. How to carry fire in a piece of smouldering fungus wrapped in birchbark. These are the things which help a world come alive.
Michelle Paver. An Owl at Paignton zoo ,performs at Bird Encounters.  Sometimes wishes cant be fulfilled ,hearts broken and dreams lost in the deep blue sea but there is still something that holds us in makesus believe there is always a way out of anything .Colin Sawuka . Looking out from the North Coast of Cornwall .
 A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.
Liberty Hyde Bailey. Stunning formal gardens around Lanhydrock .  It was luxuries like air conditioning that brought down the Roman Empire. With air conditioning their windows were shut, they couldn't hear the barbarians coming.
Garrison Keillo. Lookout window at Tintagel Castle Cornwall.  To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.
Alan Watts. The waters surounding Merlins cave at Tintagel Castle. |
