We are having a lovely time with Andy's mum and dad in Cornwall. Cornwall is the southwestern-most county in England, and it is absolutely stunning with green rolling countryside, steep cliffs dropping into the sea, and beautiful sandy beaches.
We are staying in the village of St. Agnes which is very nice and less touristy than many of the surrounding villages. This isn't to say there are no tourists, just that it is a bit quieter here than elsewhere.
We have seen the busy but historic and attractive town of St. Ives, the party town of Newquay, the legendary city of Penzance (there were actually never pirates here), and many, many surfer filled villages in between. We've seen (and climbed to) a castle, and we explored the amazing Eden project; this is a huge garden experiment of sorts with "biomes" (huge climate controlled domes)as well as outdoor gardens, cafes, and environmental education projects- a definite must if one is in Cornwall.
All the experiences are brilliant, but best of all is having some time away with Andy's parents to visit and catch up (and it certainly doesn't hurt to be able to do so over a Cornish cream tea).
Photos coming soon!
