Weekend Away (Day 3)

Always the worst part of a holiday leaving day. 


We decided on the way back to visit a place that I have driven past many times but never stopped to see...Stonehenge.


Wow what a wonderful place.

Just absolutely stunning. The site was so much bigger than I thought it would be. 

It was very strange though. Hundreds of people there and everyone was wandering round with these on and listening to the commentary.

But I wonder how many people actually stopped and took in all that was around them. Most people just seemed to be walking round the site in a trance like state.


Eventually we arrive home. We settled down to catch up TV (well we had missed Dr Who). We then had our final Cornwall treat...cream tea.

Weekend Away (Day 2)

Next day we headed into Polperro. What a beautiful little fishing village.

Arrive and the first thing we see is this great water mill. 

Polperro is a lovely place and is made so by the fact that access is restricted to vehicles.

A walk down to the beach and some serious beach combing done. Also some great caves to explore.

More wandering and exploring. With stunning views from all directions.

A wonderfully decorated Shell House.

Then a visit to the museum to find out about the local smugglers.

A little secluded spot to sit down and have some lunch. With views out to sea.

Then back to the camp site for party time at the disco.

Weekend Away (Day 1)

Surprise weekend away for Little Miss. All she knew was that we were heading off to Cornwall.


Catching the sleeper train from London Paddington, and yes we did manage to find Paddington Bear at the station.

What a great way to travel, fall asleep in London then wake up in Cornwall a few hours later. We arrived very early the next morning in Looe. What a stunning view as we walked out of the station.

When we arrived at the camp site it was a quick unpack and then we had a little explore around the site.


It was then time to watch a very important wedding.


After we went for a walk into Looe.

A ferry trip across the harbour which cost the grand sum of 40p each! Then it was freshly baked Cornish pasties. Yummy.

Freshly caught fish picked up ready for dinner when we got back. Little Miss managed to find a shop with some great jokes in, so holiday money was soon spent.
