Cornwall (inspired by Debbie)

Thanks Ruth - I'm glad you enjoyed it too. Think I will add to the tours thread as Maria suggested.

I couldn't see a way of adding favourite tours yet Debbie, maybe Ron or POE may know different? You can add this thread to your favourites though and access it that way.

Debbie, if you are coming in September, this is the end of our summer, (can still be nice and warm though) and if its been a warm summer (as predicted) the grass could look a little 'browner in colour and drier. the sun also sets about 8pm at that time of year. Heres a rough guide to our seasons-

January - sun rises about 8am -sets 4pm (8 hours daylight) sunny/rainy or snow

Feb - sunrises 8am sets 4pm weather as above -Flowers appearing (snowdrops)

March- Spring starts, days get longer Daffodills and tulips apearing

April - rain showers, but can be warm and sunny lots of spring flowers, tree blossom etc

May - Sun rises about 5am sets 8/9pm (16 hours daylight) warm but fresh green everywhere.

June - longest days, only 6 hours darkness, flowers and gardens in full bloom, lots of festivals etc. warm weather.

July - long days (School hols start, busy)

Aug- as per July

Sept - could be late summer weather, harvest time, nice autumn colours on trees etc , fiels plouged and green turning to biege

Oct - days shorter, dark at 6pm nature getting ready for winter

Nov. - long nights, bonfire plot, festivals etc 

Dec - What can I say but ITS CHRISTMAS TIME, no need to explain that one lol

Hi Ruth, I could not figure it out either so i did put it in my favorites by your link and i also emailed the friend with the cottage but she said they only do it by week so we could not do it this stay;-( beacause of moving around so much but maybe next time,,lol Thanks again!!!!

  Hi Michael, this is so helpful! You are just great!!;-))

We will be coming in at the end of Aug so maybe we will get that nice weather and its ok of some of the green is gone it will still be beautiful I am sure!;-) We try to travel in May but didnt work out this time so maybe my next trip we can come in May and visit the rest that I will miss this trip..;-)))

Thanks to all of you its nice to have great friends that are so helpful

I live in the east of UK Debbie. Essex. Where we normaly go in Cornwall, is about a 350 mile drive. I try to keep away from motorways but, unfortunately,we have to use the biggest car park in the UK,the M25 motorway, grrrrr. Once in Cornwall, whichever road you take, the A38 or the A30 takes you through some beautifull countryside. If you are going from London the M4 to the M5 will be the quickest rout,but nowhere near as nice a journey.

If you do go to Cornwall, can I recomend a visit to Flambards. Ideal for a rainy day too. It is a trip into the past that is well worth seeing. If you want to see what it was like living in Victorian England this is the place. All under cover,and you can walk through a Victorian town,look in shops and walk into houses as well. They even have a walk through London in the blitz.. It is very realistic. Oh God, I better stop before  bore you to death.

  Thanks Peter those are great pictures this place looks so cool!! And some of those ppl look real in the pictures,,lol I will put this on my list also, i will take all recommendations!;-) 

   Thanks!! OO and i promise i will not hunt you down and bring you tomatoes,,,LOL;-))

Thanks Debbie. I could bore you for days about places in Cornwall, but I wont. Lol. You are at the best site to see for yourself.
