2 Weeks without the Internet!
« on: 13 September 2014, 20:51:24 »
Wonderful, and so was the weather in Cornwall.

Beautiful site, overlooking the sea, saw the tall ships sail out of Falmouth from my recliner, nursing a glass of Cornwall's finest :y

Didn't want to come back, but needs must :(

Glad you all have a great time at Newent, sorry I missed it.

Plenty of areas with no cellular signal as well ;D

Aye. Philps in Hayle make the best steak pasties IMHO. Usually bring a box or 2 home - its a killer driving home with the smell of hot pasties...

But he is very, very old. Poor Mrs AA has to work just to keep the lazy old pensioner in the lifestyle he has become accustomed to...

They are the ones TB; done that, been there, and worn the ever expanding t-shirt!! :D :D

When we lived near Bristol I used to come back with a Carlton boot fall for the freezer.  Never as nice though as they were fresh from the Hayle oven! :y :y

When we go, I'm partial to a Philps and a bag of chips from one of the chippies in Hayle that still uses Beef dripping. Take it to Godrevy and devour overlooking St Ives bay...
