Been born on a beach practically, I rather see that from a distance, the mighty sea!

  Thanks Sheree. To be honest I find Cornwall overrated and prefer Yorkshire and Northumberland. It is a long way to go for us as well.

    It is a long way for anyone to go to! And you are right, it has become extremely busier over the last 5 or 6 years (since we moved here). I actually love the Northumberland coast, but maybe I am too nesh now for northern climes, it is much quieter up there though.

    Cornwall has done a great job of promoting itself it has to be said.

    Perhaps too good! The roads and car parks are not big enough! But one look at the turquoise water and I know why we came here.

    And others. There are a few popular chefs down here. Though some restaurants have closed due to the pandemic including a Rick Stein in Porthleven.

I am hoping you get to go on any adventure this year, so long as it’s with your grandchildren. Sooner rather than later!

Hope you make it back there and write about it. We’re all looking forward to a bit of travel – eventually – but I’m keeping my fingers crossed, just in case.
