Cornwall - a long journey South West

While visiting Port Issac this summer, we realised how much we miss the South West so booked a holiday in a cottage. However, I hadn't quite appreciated that it's quicker for us to travel to Scotland than Cornwall! So we decided to travel on the Friday and take a pit stop at Aunty and Cous Cous' on the way. It was lovely to see them and Tia. We were treated to a lovely brunch and walk, then on the road to Cornwall.

We arrived at Sloe Cottage late afternoon and collected the key. The cottage is gorgeous. It sleeps 6, has 2 bathrooms and open fire. Mum and Dad arrived for dinner and Trivial Pursuit Shackell Style. This includes answering every question as a team, asking any other question on the card that you think the person will know, picking different cards, or the dice saying one thing and meaning another. We were in stitches but Ali was the champion.

I also discovered something new after 9 years of being together. Ali adores lightly fires and can become somewhat obsessed with adding more logs to the fire. But gees it's cosy.
