h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's nice to have a long refreshing break away from it all and Cornwall was just the right remedy for forgetting it all and enjoying the splendour of nature around me. I went water skiing with the same tutor who taught Harry Enfield's children how to water ski (however in doing so i did do a spectacular forward roll in the process once causing me to swallow some of the sea!), visited St Michael's Mount and Trelissick Gardens. I also had a meal at Stein's bistro. Who'd have thought oysters and cheese were a great combination?! steak and chips came after, followed by praline profiteroles for pudding. Unfortunately, the water was too rough for kayaking in the end but it was fabulous all the same. The cottage with its white washed rooms and exterior was sooo pretty and cosy too.

to my bf and his family for allowing me to take a break away from it all.

Oh, Opti,

You are so lucky. I just Cornwall. Haven't been for many years, but it holds many happy memories for me. I loved it in the winter too when the 'grockles' weren't there (except me of course!). The food is wonderful, the sky sea and sand glorious and the wildlife and natural environment is second to none, unless of course you are Skankyrich who champions Devon at every opportunity!

I am glad you had a good break and I hope you feel better for it.

I have many happy memories of that area. I spent a week's holiday there a few years ago, and though we were based near Tavistock (Devon! ) I went down to St. Mawe's Castle near Falmouth. Lovely place.

I am so pleased you had a good time

My family hasn't been to Cornwall since a particularly bad traffic jam, but it is a lovely place and I'd love to go again some time soon. I'm pleased you had a great trip

the last time I was holiday in Cornwall, was as a kid, stayed in Polperro and went to Looe(no funny cracks )

Oh you could be so rude with that post

I would like to visit those 2 places again, but alas I can't see it happening till ££££££'s reappear in a large herd/flock ??

I heard the saying 'look after the pennies...' perhaps it may work

I don't get many of them either

oh dear

poor in money, but rich in friends, that's why I am always happy

Me too, I love Cornwall I have some very happy memories of holidays spent there with my husband. It's a very special place. As I've just rushed out to gather in the washing with the onset of more rain it's good to think back on those sunny days

oh most definitely.
