Harbour Wall, Polperro, Cornwall
My first upload since my recent illness and not a new image but a place and subject I so enjoy.
A view of the harbour and outer wall in Polperro, Cornwall, how I am looking forward to going back there as soon as my health allows.
I can’t thank you all enough for the many kind messages and support during my recovery from the heart attack I suffered in August, it has been of great help and I am pleased to say, things are slowly improving and I am feeling much better but still quite a way to get back to my old fitness.

georgieboy98
Rod, mate! What a wonderful surprise to start my new day! I shall have an extra bounce in my step all day now because I have thought of you often and wondered how you were going. This, of course, is a fabulous photo and I’ve no doubt you have enough photos in your files to delight us with throughout the coming weeks until you feel up to getting out and about again. This photo and the response it has had has, I suspect, already given you the yen to start shooting again.
You don’t need me to tell you to take good care of yourself as I am sure that was sufficient of a scare to cause you to do some serious evaluation, but I’m still going to close by saying Look after yourself old buddy and I hope Chris is OK because I’ve been thinking of her too. Best wishes Peter
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you so much Peter, I’m quite a lot stronger now but still a way to get back to normal, I’m just pleased to have made as rapid a recovery as I have.
Chris has also been a bit poorly lately, she was in Hospital last week and they carried out an appendectomy but they are not certain that her appendics were the sole problem, still, she is home now and and the pain is lessened,
Regards, Rod.

Hey there Rod, Welcome Back. Great to see you uploading work once again. I’ll certainly continue to look forward to viewing as you regain your strength. You know I love the South West and Cornwall. Polperro was my Submarines adopted town, and we had many a great night here in the Birtish Legion with the folks and the Mayor. Awesome capture and an instant FAV. More strength to you Rod and I hope each day is like the first of your life. God bless, Don.
rodsfotos replied
Hello Don, thank-you very much my friend, your support, mails and prayers were a great support for me when things were at their lowest, I’m slowly improving and getting my strength back, not sure yet if I will return to work or retire that bit earlier than planned, just grateful to be here,
