We awoke to find a thick Cornish 'peculiar' had smothered the village. As we had decided to drive to Camborne to buy a carpet we were not best pleased. The fog usually lifts about three miles inland but not this morning. We were the other side of Penzance before we could see any distance. However we were delighted to find that the carpet shop were running a new years day sale and the carpet we had set our hearts on had been reduced. it was pouring with rain by the time we reached Camborne so instead of going on for a drive we came home. Tomorrow is The Boss' birthday and all the family came in this afternoon with an enourmous bouquet for her. Roses orchids lilies carnations and somethings that look like lilies but aren't
The house looks like a florist's shop and The Boss is thrilled. I just bought her a handbag! We had to take down the Christmas tree and some of the Christmassy ornamentdto get all the vases and bowls of flowers in. We then pulled all the crackers and the Y.G.S. and I had a fight over the toy in one we pulled and he won it turned out to be a powder compact.
The 'phone has been red hot all day and there has been lots of laughing. For us a good start to the new year. For others
