              When we were last down there we found a couple of small family run nurseries in the St.Austel area that were quite good too. I should have made notes.

                    @Ian Taylor Hope you enjoy your stay in Cornwall, beautiful county. :dbgrtmb:

                    Don't know if you're a lover of fish & chips, but if you are, I can thoroughly recommend this place. It's near Looe on the south coast, a bit different from your average chippy or seafood restaurant, but the best fish & chips I've had in a long time. :)

                    The Coddy Shack

                    Holiday cottage in the south of France for us this year with several other family members, eight of us altogether. Haven't been to France for many years, and that was only a day trip to Calais in my teens, so breaking new ground for me.

                        @redstar , I hope you love Oz later this year. When I went visiting friends many years ago I just stayed in the Sydney area. But Sydney harbour must be one of the most stunning locations ever. Not sure how long it takes to fly from East coast USA , but my return flight of 25 hours virtually non stop has cured me of long haul forever !:gaah:

                          @HarryS you can still cannot fly direct non stop but have to stop in Turkey for half an hour or so and then on to Ercan airport in N Cyprus. UK still does not recognise Turkey's ownership there.
                          We are flying to Larnaca and our hotel in Kyrenia is sending a taxi to pick us up from there.
                          As Mrs Strongy doesn't like flying (but will do it anyway) she doesn't want to have to land and take off land again prefering the single flight to Larnaca.:smile:
