Hi
The next part of our trip was to devon & Cornwall. There were 5 of us.Gav & Wendy, Russell & Leanne & myself. Russell told us we were on a mystery tour. But after much merriment & pretending to get lost & map consulting we finally arrived at a remote corner of Devon down the tiniest little lane we were convinced it was a footpath. Russell instructed Gavin to get out & go ask at the farmhouse where the camp ground was whilst we stayed in the car. Well he got the shock of his life when he knocked on the door & a delightful french lady came out & said oh you must be Gavin! They were friends of Russell & Leannes & The lovliest people. Both were high powered business execs who have traded in the fast life for a gorgeous old farmhouse & sheds which they have lovingly restored & live completely organically & self sustaining. They cooked us a fabulous meal..then out came the musical instruments. Howard on the violin Gavin on the guitar Nathalie on a big horn thing, russell on recorder & us girls on various percussion instruments. After many lovely wines we discovered we were all quite talented!!We even thought we might offer to do a little number at the wedding! we visited Stonehenge & the Eden Project which was amazing. Then headed round to Lands End & up the Cornish coast. It was all soo beautiful. I just never expected England to be so beautiful! We gave up on camping as the weather was foul & stayed in little cabins at various campsites 7 ate at the local pubs everynight. We then headed up through Wales 7 picked Russells mum up on our way to Shrewsbury where L&R live.
