Cornwall Bound

[TJH130]

So here we go. Early start 6 of us in a big vehicle on our way to enjoy Cornwall. Can anyone recommend anywhere nice?

We’ll be stopping at many petrol stations en route to handle the nozzle but beware of Michelle she’s got a bit of a cough. Nothing to worry about though.

We may go to Dorset, I love it there and quite close to us, in the SW

[Gingerkittykat]

I don't know what sea surrounds Cornwall but whatever body of water it is is a good place for me to take up my wild swimming adventures.

[Orangeblossom78]

Would that be the North Sea GIngerkittycat? Sounds bracing

[Orangeblossom78]

On the subject of public toilets, a PP mentioned they wouldn't be open, however this goes against the legislation

It is specifically mentioned that 42. Public toilets. should stay open.

@Maighdeann potentially 😂

[Maighdeann]

@Lalalaboring is the lockdown getting to you? 🤣

[Lalalaboring]

@Maighdeann I thought that said cockdown!!

[TJH130]

Oh Guernsey, haven’t been there. Maybe we should go there and lick some door handles as well .

😀 TJH130 Enjoy your UK tour!

We have a relative on Guernsey also not sure what i happening there.

Guernsey actually made the UK national news last week. They have been doing a lot of testing and contact tracing Orangeblossom78. Not sure about anything else but the report on World at One highlighted the comparatively small number of cases.

Then little ones have nearly mastered cycling Without too much wobbling. Looking forward to practicing on the quiet country lanes and stopping often to picnic. We won’t be able to carry our empty packaging though as get too tired to carry it when cycling.

[Gingerkittykat]

I'm in Scotland but I've heard they do nice scones down that way so will join you.

Now that swimming is allowed I'm going for a dip in the sea since the selfish bastards haven't opened the pools. I'm blind as a bat when I take my glasses off but can do 6 lengths in the slow lane so will be fine, no need to alert the lifeboat people.

[sashh]

Have bicycles for all us grockles - plan to ride them on country lanes as slowly as possible.

That's Devon, in Cornwall we are Emmets.

[Maighdeann]

Well if you fancy somewhere a bit colder ....

[Lalalaboring]

@TJH130 yes! Certainly the quaint and pretentious villages surrounding Falmouth! Maybe St Ives but some “unique” artist (or standard pervert) might try and paint them

I’m not blessed in that area so I can’t join in. But I will order two Mr Whippys and pop the cones in my bra for the full Cornish Madonna effect

[NewYorkIvy]

Could you pick me up some clotted cream on the way back? can't get any for love nor money round here at the moment, thank you kindly

[rc22]

Steady on OP. You can't actually go until Wednesday!!

[PenfoldsFive]

Righty ho, on my way. I’m wearing one of those NASA space nappies and have packed some shortbread so I’ll be fine for the journey.

[Taddda]

Might take a while to get there, the news said roads and motorways are congested this morning.

We're getting the tube to the station, then it's only two buses and three train changes-

We'll get a taxi when we get there to grab some shopping (theres only 6 of us), Frank's got the beach gear in a back pack with a tent while we check out all the beaches and look for a good spot-

Hopefully the roads will be clearer in the morning when our family coach arrives!

[TJH130]

@Lalalaboring it won’t just be the men topless we’ve been lockdown long enough we’re getting the girls out. Anyone know any prudish areas that may appreciate us?

@oldiewelshie please do. Maybe we’ll tour Wales before we move up to the Lake District and then Scotland.

[Suchafaff]

Up until yesterday I was receiving a full discount on a cottage that we had booked that was 300 miles way from us. Boris makes his speech and now I am being told by the owner this morning...

Good news....you can now come as restrictions on travel have been lifted.

They are limited their guests to make sure there is a 72 hour gap between each family staying and it is in the middle of no-where so easy to socially distance, however we were going to visit family and that is currently not permitted.

I get that they need to get back on track financially also but feel a little taken advantage of. I have 2 small children and the thought of having to travel and take loo breaks in service stations is making me anxious.

[oldiewelshie]

Can I come too? I am in Wales, but I can sneak across the border. I'm sure all the Cornish will welcome us with open arms full of pasties and ice cream.

Might take a while to get there, the news said roads and motorways are congested this morning.

[sluj]

Never mind Cornwall, I am jumping on the tube to have a walk round the landmarks of London. Should be really good with so few people about and a chance to get a seat on the tube for once. Just imagine what brilliant selfies I could take with all those deserted streets and famous buildings in the background. I might even picnic by the river

[hauntedvagina]

Can you bring me back a pasty please, not one of those gross traditional ones though. I want something fancy, maybe feta and olive? Must be gluten free, obvs.

Ooo, and a naice box of fudge that I can give my cleaner as a thank you for battling on and coming to my house twice a week to change the beds. And while you're there, see if they've got a rock selection box I can give to my hairdresser as thank you for sneakily touching my roots up

[Lalalaboring]

Devon & Cornwall police are having a break now restrictions have been eased. Good job because I ran out of reasonable excuses

[PrivateD00r]

Fantastic thread! Glad to hear Michelle is ok, good plan about the hospital op just to be on the safe side. Probably just viral though..
