Homeward Bound

I have heard that if you have nothing nice to say about someone, you shouldn't say anything at all. If I am to follow this, mention of my fellow passengers on the Santander-Plymouth ferry would be conspicuous only by its absence. However, I also know that what people don't hear can't hurt...

Black cab tours and a drink with a local

We decided today that the easiest, and may I add safest way to see Belfast and its explosive, violent past, was on a tour, so we did what they call a ‘black cab tour’ and it is just as it sounds. A cab will pick you up, though we had a red one, and it will take you on a tour around the streets...

Belfast bound

The start to our day saw everything being a bit “quick” today. A quick shower, a quick pack, a quick brekki and a quick walk to the city station in order to catch our train to Belfast. Irish way of life gets under your skin. We’ve been here all of 3 days and already I feel comfortable and...

Family catch up and packing for the weeks to come

I really didn’t think that Chris or I owned that much clothing, but in a bid to get everything washed and dried for tomorrows ‘take off’ we did 2.5 loads of washing, which I really found remarkable (boring talk I know, who really cares about washing huh?) I really didn’t think we owned that...

Tentagel once more

Sadly, didn’t get much sleep last night so awoke feeling a little grumpy and tired, I guess that’s the consequence of only having 3 hours sleep. Not sure why I didn’t sleep so well but I have a feeling it has something to do with the two skinny dippers who were “WHOOOOING” in the ocean just...

Penzance (minus the pirates) Lands End and the windy little roads to St Ives

We were meant to check out today, but after looking at the map realized that our Newquay accommodation was probably the best place to base ourselves for another night, so we paid up for another night. Our main destination today was Lands End which is the south western most point of the UK,...

Arthurs “stone”, amazing Tintagle Castle and Newquay beach

Up early and onto the car rental to pick up our little VW golf that we would call our own for the next three days. It’s a sporty little thing that takes a little while to get going but when it does it’s quite nifty. We drove steadily on through the day, taking the wrong turn only once...
