Happy Holidays

29 June 2003

You may have been wondering (or maybe not) why RoysWorld has been a bit quiet of late. Well for the last 2 weeks we've been on holiday to Cornwall with the kids and our mates Morag, Jonny and Molly. I'm not going to bore you with the web equivalent of a slideshow, but the main highlights were as follows:

  • We stayed at a really nice farm near Wadebridge. It has fantastic facilities for the kids, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting self catering in the area.

  • Me and Jonny had a brilliant morning mackerel fishing. Jonny caught 6 and I caught 5 and a gurnard (for which I was told off by the skipper for angling too deep). They tasted great on the barbie.

  • Billy had an incident with a tube slide resulting in an afternoon in Bodmin casualty (just bruising in the end).

  • Brilliant nosh ups at The Maltsters Arms.

  • Rock-pooling and building of sandcastles at Polzeath.

  • Cycling along the Camel Trail.

  • Fishing for crabs off Padstow harbour.

  • A brilliant day finding The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

  • Loads and loads and loads of other things.
