How do you follow a Journal entry about sex? It's not easy...

The only thing that comes to mind is to remind our younger viewers not to take up smoking.

There's a few older ones who need reminding too JTG. Last week we went to Cornwall and the local had a non-smoking bar and one night I had to tell one of the locals off for smoking in there. He was not a happy man but then all the other locals joined in and supported me!

Good for you!... literally.

So-called smokers righers has been, and still is, a contentious issue here, too. What they (smokers, I mean) don't seem to appreciate is that, fundamentally, they are doing something injurious to the people around them. It's hard to think of a close parallel to that. At work, I often theaten to take up chainsaw juggling.

Have you met Princess Lillie (U516222)? She lives in Plymouth and also visits Cornwall. The odds are against it, I suppose. On the other hand, Cornwall's not Siberia.

Oops! smokers' rights, that should be.

I have read Princess Lille's comments before but haven't spoken. She only lives in the next county - I have a couple more to drive through on the way - including hers

Which probably puts you in no mood to suffer smokers after a long drive.

Is Cornwall crawling with tourists in the summertime, or is it still pretty unspoilt?

I was shocked to see how much Derbyshire had changed since we left. It seemed clogged with backpackers; and there were actually paved parking lots all over the place, where there were none before. Mind you, that was more than 20 years ago; so it's probably changed a lot more since then... back, I hope.

Cornwall heaves with tourists all summer and the motorway crawls all the way down there. That is pretty much why we go in winter/spring!

Good idea. As I remember it (not very well, granted), it must have a particular beauty in atrocious, rainy weather that you'd miss basking somewhere with an ice-cream. Whether or not that's true, it's no fun shuffling around with hordes of tourists... even if you're one of them.

hiya John and Ginger that is why we too go down to cornwall in the spring and winter for our holidays its much more quieter and you can enjoy things more. Princes William and Harry started to holiday in Rock and since then its heaving in the tourist season you want to relax walk along the beach and enjoy the fresh air thats the whole idea to unwind. that and Mr Rick Stein over taking Padstow boy they have a lot to answer for

We are going down to cornwall soon in the next few weeks infact we should just be in time to see the obby ose in Padstow something ive always wannted to see, and this time im determined to see it.

anyway guys you take care must hope everyone has a good Easter kind regards Liz

Thanks, Liz. Happy Easter to you and yours.

Happy Easter, Ginger.
