Cornwall report

Have been meaning to write something about Cornwall since we got back, but been on with other stuff, and doing all that I can to loose the bloat! So, went to Fowey on the Sunday and stayed here : Very nice. Nice view over the harbour and all thats stuff. Both Fowey and Polruan really quaint and unspoilt, well worth a visit if you are down : Had a nice evening and ate here :

Next day we went to the lizard - beautiful :


Then to Lands end and found it pretty touristifyed and a bit disappointing, nevertheless - sure to get the obligatory photo of the signpost thing : . Pressed on to Pendeen (as we live on Pendeen road) and found a picturesque council estate. continued to St Ives where we were staying for two nights - man, what a pikey hole! really touristifyed and pretty grim. At least the sun was out : so we cancelled our second night and went to the chippy. Next day we continued to perranporth, crantock : , and finally to Padstow where we managed to get a room at Rick Stein's Seafood restaurant. I think we were really lucky to get in as usually you have to book a million years in advance, and turning up on spec and getting a room, let alone a table is unheard of! still, it was out of season and we were lucky. As it was March you get 30% off, which made the room £120 for the night. A fitting end to a lovely trip. Food was great as you would expect from Rick, I had plaice goujons and she had lemon sole. Here is a padstow pic : . Next morning, we jetted up to Topsham (nr Exeter - where i was born) and had a quick walk, followed by a pint : . Home Via me mams and then back to Sheffield on Thursday lunchtime.

Cornwall is gorgeous. If you get the weather its just a wonderful place to be. I think we plan to go back in August around my birthday. A lovely honey holiday, all good for the rehabilitation of codfinger!
