    Just to send hugs to TA. I know that i am a newbie poster to you, but i have been following for a long time before plucking up the courage to stick my head out (in a non stalker way of course:o). As the daughter of a mum who doesnt show how badly things affect her - please let your children know. They'll want to be able to help and support.

  • Evening ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) if you need one, several for Mr and Mrs TA. I am so sorry that yet something else has entered the equation, I know how difficult it is to cope........

    Holly, pleased you had a good day yesterday at the sea side.

    We arrived at our B & B in one piece, although a couple of times I threatened OH. He is the worst back seat driver imaginable, twice he sent me the wrong way...... and again today.

    yesterday was very warm once you were out of the wind, we sat outside here drinking tea after we arrived. It is a lovely place, we are in the Piggery.......no comments thank you!! A pleasant room with all mod cons and wonderfully quiet.

    We woke up to rain this morning, but that did not keep us in, after a very good breakfast we were off to B & M and Morrison for various bits an pieces, we then set off for Seaton a little place with a lovely beach. We went into The Smugglers Rest for lunch, OH wanted pasties, so pasties we had.......

    We moved the car round into the beach cafe car park and treated ourselves to an ice cream. Sat reading and people watching for a while, the beach is one of the ones you can take dogs on all the year round, so plenty of people walking their dogs.

    We have just had our supper, sandwiches, yogurt and a packet of crisps between us. We can use the kitchen and breakfast room for meals which is very nice, and the wi fi signal is quite strong in here, not so much in our room across the yard.

    Tomorrow we plan to go to Heligan, we are taking a picnic with us, we are going to call at the local fish and chip shop on the way home for a fish supper.............

    TA I am so sorry to hear your news......positive vibes to you both, please keep your family up to date on how you are feeling, a physical hug can work wonders, and keep posting, we are all on your side.

    Enjoy your holiday Csarina, Cornwall is one of the places on my bucket list, unfortunately OH is no longer happy to travel....I have thought of coach tours, not sure how that would be.

    Its been a really nice day here and is still sunny and warm.

    Enjoy your evening
