I would advise not putting your email address here as robots will find it and use it. People can always email you more securely by pressing the Email button under all your posts, and you can set it up so people can msn you in your profile...

Hey, we'd be down for a do in Cornwall! Pastys and beer, oh yeah :y
Just take the @ out of your email or the bots will get it ;)

thanks for advice edited the message now will get used to this internet stuff one day thanks to you guys free pastys and a bottle of bud all round :y

More details, usually go to Maenporth Beach, also we travel about and see something new - this year it will be the Eden Project.
We also go to Falmouth a lot, Roskillys cafe at their farm. Always visit the Lizard (see the Pasty thread), also like visiting the coastal places around that area.
The Helford river is very scenic, and there are a few nice pubs in the area also on the Fal.
