Six and a half hours on the road and I swore that I would never travel to Cornwall again, at least not by car. Traffic jam followed traffic jam with little light relief, and service stations were packed to bursting….
However, I surprised myself how quickly I could change my mind when the door to our accommodation was opened. What a delight! We have come to the South-West of England to enjoy a cookery course at Rick Stein’s in Padstow, combining this with some sightseeing and relaxation around the town, before heading back via a few days in Devon.
I shall let the photos do the talking.
This says it all
Looks like a picture postcard, but it is for real. A view from our room.
Tea for two
Toiletries designed by Mrs Stein
A hamper just in case we get hungry at night
A little midnight reading
A view of our accommodation (just a room, not the lot!)
Lovely hydrangea
I could go on as there are so many photogenic views, but I cannot pass by some images from our meal this evening at Rick Stein’s seafood restaurant. What a treat.
This has proved to be a good start to our trip. We look forward to what tomorrow at the cookery school will bring.

Hi Sue and John
You really get around! I have only just recovered from Romania. Pat and I have now booked the cruise Budapest to Bucharest and back, with a day in the delta. I am off to Spain at the end of next week for a week to visit family.
Didn’t know you had done me the Northwest Passage, what a trip. I look forward to seeing the next post.
Best wishes
Viv
Great to hear from you Viv and to know you will be travelling again soon. We have not exactly done the Northwest Passage trip yet as the boat ran aground after 24 hours. A bit too realistic. However, a little more on that soon via a posting. Best wishes to you and Pat from us both.
