Title: 2 Weeks without the Internet!
Post by: Auto Addict on 13 September 2014, 20:51:24
Wonderful, and so was the weather in Cornwall.

Beautiful site, overlooking the sea, saw the tall ships sail out of Falmouth from my recliner, nursing a glass of Cornwall's finest :y

Didn't want to come back, but needs must :(

Glad you all have a great time at Newent, sorry I missed it.

Plenty of areas with no cellular signal as well ;D

Aye. Philps in Hayle make the best steak pasties IMHO. Usually bring a box or 2 home - its a killer driving home with the smell of hot pasties...

They are the ones TB; done that, been there, and worn the ever expanding t-shirt!! :D :D

When we lived near Bristol I used to come back with a Carlton boot fall for the freezer.  Never as nice though as they were fresh from the Hayle oven! :y :y

When we go, I'm partial to a Philps and a bag of chips from one of the chippies in Hayle that still uses Beef dripping. Take it to Godrevy and devour overlooking St Ives bay...

Having just got in from a night shift, that almost sounds tempting enough to jump back in the car and head down there for lunch...

Of course, knowing my luck they're closed on Sunday, and I wouldn't think to check before leaving ::)

There was a signal, very weak, managed to pick up emails, wasn't going to pay the extortionate rate the camp site was asking for WiFi.

Did something we have always wanted to do, took a trip to the Scilly Isles, what a beautiful place.

The local farm shop made their own pasties, they were something to die for, as were their sausages and steak :y

They won't be as tasty as eating them outside their shop, but it is better than no pastie at all! :D :D ;)

Philps Pasties are the bestest everest.

I tend to work in Camborne / Redruth perhaps once a month..... I always drive the few miles south to get a decent Steak Pasty.

The pub I drink in (Choughs, Camborne) put me on to the Philps Pasty and there is no substitute.
