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

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!

Why, you may well be asking, does a blog about our "Indo China Experience" start in the chocolate box village of Stoke Gabriel in Devon's bucolic South Hams? Well, it was whilst on a long weekend in Devon in May 2009 that we decided beyond all doubt that I absolutely had to be brave and ask my boss for some extended leave in order to work as volunteers in Cambodia. And it was indeed the fickle hand of fate that turned my procrastination into ...

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.

... and we had to remind oursleves that there are exciting travels to be had here and now.

The educational "Core" was interesting enough but I felt the missed a real opportunity to really engage people and educate them in practical steps everyone can take to hlep the environment and local ecology. What about crop rotation to help the soil? Or growing gowing multiple crops which have a symbiotic affect such that pesticides and fungicides are not need? Nada!

Nearly forgot when we were driving through Newton Abbot on the way to the camp site, i saw a sign on the front of a small cottage it read "Charles Dickens parents lived here" Now here is some homework for you, is it the Charles Dickens of "A Christmas Carol" fame? If yes did his parents really live in Newton Abbot? If not then who is the other Charles Dickens?

Will upload a couple of photo's of today.

Saturday and Sunday were the most amazing days. At 16:00 Saturday, twelve mainly family went aboard Trinity House Vessel (THV) Patricia to book into our staterooms. Then 10 guests joined us for dinner. Needless to say, some instructions went awry and people arrived in two parties. Going ashore was also quite difficult! Next day ...
