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

Firstly, sorry for the delay- I'm having difficulties getting on line with my netbook. WILL TRY TO ADD PHOTOS SOON!

Woke to beautiful blue skies then, after saying goodbye to Rob, who's work takes him all around Europe, Ann dropped us off at the car hire joint at Gatwick Airport and we climbed aboard the Hyundai i30.
First stop along the M23 etc was Stonehenge, freezing cold ...

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!

... to catch 4 or 5! The nimal lovers reading this will be pleased to know that they were all sent back to the river from whence they came...and looked quite funny as they scuttled away sideways too.

There was a few very old buildings in Looe, including one which originally built in 1430! (see the Smugglers Cott photo). It was a nice relaxing day and as always it was good fun exploring a new town.

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.

I had done alot of driving over the past few days and needed a chance to stop and recharge... we were still close to the surf beaches of Newquay and ofcourse I was keen for another surf so we headed there for the night and have a surf in the morning. It was also time to fill up the water tank in the van so that meant a real camp ground.
I was too buggered to go to the ...

The previous night was a shocker trying to find somewhere to park... we thought it would have been nice to stay in the village of Fowey, but by the time we got there it was well after dark and I was jack of driving.
It looked like all good roadside parks were double yellow lines(for those that don't know, in the UK that means no parking) We discovered later that it only applied during the high season, but we couldn't see those signs in the dark. The rest of the town ...

... and Kim is content to laze about in the sun 18-20 degrees and not a cloud inthe sky - hard to believe it is mid-october.

Kim found a nice coastal walk to keep her occupied while I was happy as a pig in sh!t scoring waves.

Exhausted we found a spot to park a street or 2 from the beach front to spend the night.

... we're probably just as glad. We'd learned our lesson from the night before, and had made lodging arrangements at the Penzance information bureau. They set us up in a "cottage" near Bodmin - fabulous! We got ourselves a bit lost along the way (trying to avoid what looked to be a pretty heinous traffic jam on the A30), but eventually found our way to the "cottage". It was actually just half of ...
