Hello. I hope you're all well. I've just been in Cornwall with my husband and two sons. Cornwall is a county in the south west of England - right at the bottom, on the 'leg' if you look at a map. I'd never been there before. We decided on Cornwall firstly because I wanted to see Tintagel, and husband wanted to go to Eden Project. We had a look for other things to do in the area. Tintagel is an English Heritage property. As members, we pay a yearly membership and can access over 400 sites for no additional fee. We discover another English Heritage place - Pendennis Castle in Falmouth. I tried to share a picture but it doesn't appear to be working. We also visited a one acre Japanese garden in the village near where we stayed, and we went to the beautiful village of Boscastle to their Museum of Witchcraft. I think we all had a good time. It's very hilly in that area. We stayed in a caravan in the middle of nowhere. It was advertised as 'quiet'. It really was - we could hear the wind at night, and occasionally heard the sound of sheep from the next field. While there wasn't anything much near where we were, it was a good central base for everything we wanted to do. We could see for a few miles across the fields. There were little coves and bits of beach but we didn't explore much of that. We spent some time at Padstow harbour (well, I had some time with husband, and a different time with eldest son, but youngest chose to stay at the caravan on both occasions). We had a rather enjoyable time, and we're now thinking about where to go next. That won't be for a while, though, as we are now skint and need some time to save up again! Have you missed me? Have you been away or have any plans to do so? I'd love to read about it.
