We had some plans changed at the last moment, sister not visiting after all, and so we hade to decide either to have a few days in the caravan or zoom past Taunton and head off to the far tip of the UK and visit some places in Cornwall which we had not visited before. We did also think about going back to Lanzarote for a week but the bloody paperwork for COVID is a real pain in the neck and so we decided to stay at home.
So after packing the car, making some sandwiches we headed off West in the grey weather, including some rain, in the direction of Cornwall. The A303 was traffic light and so no real delays en-route which surprised us. We did think of staying in the Lanhydrock Golf Club for a night but then found out they had closed the Hotel part for winter and so we had to hunt around for somewhere else and ended up at The Cornwall Hotel and Spa in St Austell. The room was ok but to reach it meant climbing lots of stairs and Noel wit his knees did have some challenges.
We arrived their late afternoon and had decided for convenience we would have dinner in the Hotel and it was sort of Ok , Noel had the steak and Jennifer enjoyed a huge pizza which was large enough to feed the Afghan army, well there are not so many of the at the moment. I have to say the bed was quite comfortable nut unfortunately they did not have a walk in shower, a requisite for Noel at the moment, but we coped OK.
Tomorrow we are planning a tour of the area.
