fourcorners Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Our house is between Redruth and Portreath, and we may be headed back there in a few months, who knows. Either there or Dartmoor, not a bad choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzimozzie Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Well we are finally here in Cornwall. Hit a few bumps in the plans right on day one. Seems we have to find some accommodation (furnished even) as our bungalow needs more 'updating' than we though at long distance. finding workmen and then doing more than we anticipated means we need to find alternative digs for a few months .. not terribly easy if a holiday destination coming up to their best season We will overcome it somehow! In just a day and a half we fell we are "HOME" and have been welcomed by everyone we get to talk to A little shock how different 5* C is in windy and wet Cornwall compared to 5* C on a sunny morning in Tassie ... just some additional layers will sort that Have a Kia Sportage now and being mobile and independent makes a great difference .. just and only just got the baggage into it even Have a good one Moz!

Ozzimozzie Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Pastie??? Never seen it spelled like that! It's Pasty or Pasties, make sure you get it right or you'll be in trouble! Not sure whereabouts you're headed but I would head to Philps in Hayle or the Horse and Jockey in Helston to get your fix. Enjoy business class, and I'm sure everything else will fall into place, don't sweat the details. Wish you the best on your journey, I'm sure even the rain won't dampen your spirits when you touch down at the other end! Well it seems that both spellings are right .. Philps are 'Pasty' and the butcher down the other end of Hayle is 'Pastie' Now the 'Pasty' is Puff Pastry but the 'Pastie' is Short Pastry .. maybe therein lies the clue!!! Hoo cares anyway ... BOTH were excellent to consume and I did give you a fleeting consideration whilst doing so ... not much mind ... just a wee bit!! Starting to settle in now, spending enormous amounts of money getting set up but hopefully that will stop soon Bit of a shock coming from somewhere close to 40 squares of home in Tassie to a 2 1/2 bedroom bungalow down here Our bedroom was as big as the kitchen and lounge room together here .. if others can do then so can I that is for sure 18 holes in the sun (when it gets back from long service leave that is) will make everything look rosy again Catch everyone from time to time The 'Moz' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tappers2oz Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'll keep a look out for the Kia sportage and give random waves to each one I see. If you see a crazy woman waving at you, it's probably me. ;-D Hope you continue to settle in well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we won't be returning to Cornwall any time soon, but maybe Devon. My job contacts in Cornwall are very quiet this year, they have no room for us unfortunately. Still pursuing a couple of opportunities in Devon though so fingers crossed.... Hope that feeling of money running through your hands like sand starts to slow down soon, everything will fall into place I'm sure! Has Spring sprung yet? I loved all the daffs coming out around this time in the hedgerows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
