We used to like Mevagissey. It had a fab ice cream parlour on the bend.Morning all
Getting a few things sorted this morning, ready for our getaway next week. Rang the first site yesterday, just to confirm all is OK.
We will be having a week just outside of Mevagissey, then a week near Lands End followed by a week near Padstow on the way back.
Can't wait!
I've seen it both ways. Years ago when it was basically just the sign post then later when it had all been revamped. I did enjoy the bit where you went underground and they played a sort of history of the old smuggling and ship wreck times and came up to date with the coastal rescues including a sound effect of a helicopter and even some spray as if it was coming from the sea. Quite atmospheric. Lord knows what it will cost now.
My mum found it a bit claustrophobic.
Last time we went was maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Parking charges....
. We explained that we didn't want to stop, just have a look. No chance. So we paid and wandered around.When a friend and I saw Mrs Tenkaykev off on her end to end a few years ago it was similar. We paid to park up, took the bike out of the car and headed to the sign. There were a few people starting the same journey including a group of three lads on road bikes who looked like racing snakes. I got chatting to them and they were raising money for a worthy cause. They were planning on taking a week and their employer had generously given them the time off on full pay. I pointed out that they should have told the boss that it would take at least a fortnight 😉Last time we went was maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Parking charges....
The Lands End sign.......all fenced off. You now have to pay to take a photo.
Gift shop!!!! I picked up a model of the sign. Underneath it says "made in China". If it had been made locally we would have bought it......crazy.
Thanks Kev.....must admit I am chuffed.
There was me, MrsD, our son and the physio while he explained, when I threw in "oh good, does that mean we can have sex"?
MrsDs face was a picture.

Grimace or grin?
What about walking down the steps, not just up them!A quick good morning.
The physio came to see MrsD yesterday. A good visit.
She was told so many conflicting doom and gloom things in hospital and this guy kicked many of them into touch.
eg she was told that any undue movement could rapidly worsen the condition. She was on 'egg shells'.
This guy had her raising legs, lying down while raising her back, even on all fours for some exercises.
Tiny things to most of us but the look of relief and new belief on her face was priceless.
Today he wants he walking up and down 3 or 4 steps.
Onwards and upwards
Did you see it last night?
Too cloudy last night.
All night or only when you looked?
