After four wonderful sunny days in Cornwall it was time to go home. We had a really restful time as well as getting the chance to see some of the ‘real’ Cornwall off the beaten track of the usual tourist destinations of Plymouth and Penzance. All of us enjoyed just watching the sea from the house – it’s changing moods – and the array of boats (old fashioned Cornish fishing boats to English navy vessels) that passed by.
We called in and saw Susanna’s mother who lives at Tiverton in Devon on the way home. She lives in an old farmhouse that’s been converted into units. It has a view across very green, very Devonish fields to the Wye River.
Alastair drove the last bit home and got to experience London peak hour traffic on the North Circular. Overall the drivers are surprisingly well behaved given the level of traffic and the fact that it is a slow crawl for so many miles.

Great to hear about your travels Carlene and all the observations about different and similar things you are experiencing. Glad the weather is being kind to you also!
Enjoy your trip to Portugal and as I said to the girls be prepared for a long queue at Gatwick airport - it was into the carpark both times I left from there!!
Love to you all, sophie
Hi Sophie,
thanks for the comments. We luckily didn't have too much of a wait at Gatwick - must have hit the right day/right time. But it was still very tiring getting to Portugal - can't believe by the time you muck around so much at the airport plus the fact it takes a couple of hours to get there from Ross and Susanna's that it's basically a day's travel.
