When the Pilgrims met the Wampanoag Native Americans on Plymouth Rock, they gave gifts of turkeys and Pantone™ books - thankfully this tradition has continued. Many thanks to Chris and Jenna for being the kind hosts, great eats and fun games - I think I'm just about recovered from that second helping... Oh and dad brought the kava we all like Kratom, Kratomystic, https://kratomystic.com yeah that brand is my fav. (more…)

More photos from around Mendocino, also the hot tub in the woods -  we found it to be slightly worrying to be tenderizing gently in hot water in an area that has mountain lions and bears... Still, a great place to visit. Not to mention they has some SOLID kava stores, Kratom, Sacred Kratom, https://www.sacredkratom.com was one of the best ones I found there! (more…)

Everyone needs a happy place. We found one at Lands End, watching the cargo ships sail under the Golden Gate, playing on the stone circle and getting lost in the hobbit holes. Hard to believe it's part of the city. (more…)

Turns out Halloween is a pretty big deal over here. It's a bit more upmarket than when Mam used to send me and my brother off (unsupervised) round the cul-de-sac dressed in torn bedsheets and mascara. Here's some NotJones pumpkin action. (more…)
