always have a laugh. but i dont know how to tell him i like him and i dont
know how he will react. but i am not bothered that much even though i
am like in love with him. oh well

... we nevertheless enjoyed a stroll around the steep streets of the town and after a drink at the Golden Lion decided on "The Old School House", built in 1875, for our room for the night. After passing the religous studies room we were ushered into the english room with commanding views over the fishing boats in the harbour. Looking forward to sampling some of the local seafood tonight.

Today we went for a drive to Dartmoor, a seaside village at the mouth of the River Dart.

For lunch I had a pasty (I love Cornish Pasties!) and an English Toffee icecream with clotted cream - yum!

In the evening we drove back to Liskeard through Dartmouth National Park, which had some great views (hard to photograph though unfortunately) and we even nearly hit a wild horse which ran out in front of the car!

... could not find our way to the village church so we stopped to ask directions from an elderly woman who was laying out a bric-a-brac stall outside her cottage. As Colin chatted to her, I realised that some of the photos she had taped to the front of the trestle table where strangely familiar.

"Are you collecting for Cambodia by any chance?", I asked. "Yes", was the not altogether unexpected reply "My son runs a charity in Siem Reap ...

Today we went on a day trip to Tintagel and Newquay.

Tintagel Castle (now the ruins of) is the legendary birthplace of King Arthur, and lies on an exposed headland on the north side of the Cornwall peninsula. There is a lot of history there; some findings suggest that it was occupied as long ago as 200-300AD! There is a ...

It was a shopping and driving day today. We went for a bit of an impromptu tour around the Bodmin Moor area (didn't see the beast unfortunately) and then went to a big department store called Trago Mills where I bought a big road map for when I get a job driving around Europe.

Not much else to report for today, but we did see a cool scooter with thousands of mirrors and a tail!

For our first full day away, we did some shopping in the morning, then went for a walk around Looe, a small seaside town. Looe was mainly based on the fishing trade, but also had quite a lot of shops to browse.

We saw quite a few people fishing for crabs, using a small mesh bag with some bait on a line, and it was amazing at how quickly the crabs were being picked up...20-30 seconds was enough in some ...

For my next trip I was off to Cornwall in the South West for a week with my Nan, aunties Jeanette and Marion and uncle Roland. We stayed at Lakeview Villas, about a 5 minute drive out of Liskeard.

Today we drove down from London, and aside from a bit of a holdup at Bath, it was a smooth drive down.

... full of steep, narrow, winding streets impossible to park on. So we decided to cut our losses and find a park close to the Eden project which was our first port of call in the morning. Still, the dark made our task of finding a good freecamping spot a difficult one, and took another hour before we had settled in for the night. I was pretty crabby by this stage so finding a spot to stop was a welcome relief.

The Eden Project opened at 9am and we were the first ...

... But allow plenty of time to get back up as it is a big walk! Next stop was Tintagel for a Devonshire Tea. Was great. Walked to the ruins of a 12th Century Castle which was built on the ruinis of a 6th Century Castle-supposedly where King Arthur was born. Was going to walk to the top but was a pretty major walk and still have the flu. Wish I could shake it! Was an interesting Norman Church nearby with a ancient graveyard that would ...
