Getting ready to head out on a glorious 12 day camping trip to gorgeous Cornwall! And planning on hooking up with our two beautiful cornish piskies! I absolutely cant wait!

Camping is the best way to see this gorgeous island, IMO. :-6

Could you explain what this means to an ignorant American?;)

Camping....fantastic. I hope the weather is kind and you get to see all the wonderful places in Cornwall.

Give the 2 'piscies' a big hug from me and when you get back don't be such a stranger to the garden....we miss you :-4

It's an affectionate twist on the term cornish pixies. We have a couple of lovely friends who live in Cornwall and we're going to visit.:-4

Oh we will! It's going to be so great seeing them again! You too, for that matter!

LOL! My only excuse Bez, is work and the weather! If I'm not working, we're outside playing! We took a lovely picnic to hadleigh castle a couple of weekends ago.

Oh yes! The eden project is on our 'to do' list! As well as cheddar gorge and wookie hole! LOL! I didnt know about the others! Thanks for the links! We are mapping out our trip now!

The weather doesnt matter. We'll have fun regardless if it rains or not. I still cant figure folks who go away for holiday! This place is soooooooooo much fun!

An absolutely wonderful place to have a camping holiday and I'm sure you'll have a ball.

May the weather hold fair for you and Voodoo.

Enjoy

Thats it Bez, you'll have to come down! You'll make a better tour guide than Theia and I! Just a word of warning though, should you bring your car and allow Theia to ride in the passenger seat, just watch her, she's very heavy on the foot brake! :wah: :wah:

Really look forward to seeing you, Raven and Voodoo :-6

Hello Raven,

what a coincidence... I am going to cornwall in 2 weeks time, I am stopping in a bed & breakfast in Newquay called Blue Haven, I imagine camping is a lot of fun, we were considering going in a caravan, but it worked out cheaper for two adults and two children to go a Bed & Breakfast... (GO FIGURE?)

Plus I love my creature comforts especially when you have to consider that I have a 12 month old baby and a 2 year aswell...

I'd never relax in a tent with my girls, they'd walk off in the night never to be seen again.... Hmmmmmmmm:sneaky: there's a thought...(joke, I love 'em really)

I can't wait Cornwall, its all so beautiful and when the weather is nice, its just HEAVEN..... :-6 :p

Enjoy your hols Raven.

Sorry Betty boop, my fault completely.

How old is your son going to be on the 24th?

My baby daughter is ONE on the 23rd... We're gonna have a little party in Newquay, and then one for the rest of the family when we get back home so no-ones left out :wah: (you know how it is with families sometimes) although my mum and stepdad have threatened to come up to newquat for a couple of days too...

Hi, Raven and Voodoo. Enjoy your hols and give Theia and Betty a nice big squeeze and a fat kiss from me, too. And Shelleybelle and her daughter.

Are you stopping in anywhere in Devon at all? Or are you hopping across it?
