Hi Karen, welcome to POE. As Ron said, we are mostly nutters, but harmless. Please come in and chat with us in the forum's, its all good fun. What part of Wales does you father come from?

Denzil will tell you, lands end can change from glorious sunnshine to a force 10 gale in minutes. But a fantastic place. Enjoy the site like we all do.

Hello Karen

As has already been said, welcome to PoE.  Please ignore those who said we are all nutters or mad.  I'm quite sane!  Innocent

My Dad was from Caerphilly - I hope I spelled that right, but he grew up somewhere in Kent.  Dad would never speak of his childhood and unfortunately there is no-one left of his family that we are aware of so his life before he came to Canada is mostly a big blank.

Thanks for all of the greetings everyone.  I am enjoying the site very much and I think that you are all as sane as each other and I should fit in very nicely. LOL

You're right Denzil, it was very commercial.  I just ignored all of that and enjoyed the views and the ocean.  The day we were there was miserable, weather wise, and it was very bleak, desolate and beautiful all at the same time.  Since my visit to England, I want to move there and live somewhere in Cornwall or Devon - I haven't decided.  Of course it isn't going to happen but I can dream..........

Karen, I lived just round the corner from Caerphilly when I was a lad. I miss waking up in the mornings and seeing the mountains insted of just the houses accross the road. But I want to move down to Cornwall, cos I like Denzil and his wife.

Peter, I won't comment on the spelling mistakes this time!

You write>>>I want to move down to Cornwall, cos I like Denzil and his wife. What you really mean is that you want some of the action with Mrs T in the barn eh? I've heard about blokes like you creeping around with camera's!
