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.

@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 Grin

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

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.

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.

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.

😀 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.

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

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.

Would that be the North Sea GIngerkittycat? Sounds bracing

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.
