Well I'm back from a lovely fortnights hols. Bude (Cornwall) was lovely - it was hot and sunny every day. Son did lots of surfing, I did lots if sitting on the beach. Dog liked the sea and sand but was scared of the waves.
Dartmoor (Devon) was great too - we got some good walks in, we did several tors (large hills with rocks on the top - or mountains depending which end of the walk it was!) We stayed in a lovely cottage with grounds - not a garden, it had it's own wood and lake and a river at one side, my son kept asking how many times our garden would fit!
We had a Cornish cream tea the first week and a Devon cream tea the next - of course. This is a must if you visit these counties and consist if tea (to drink) and home made scones with jam and clotted cream - these have to be in little pots so you put them on the scone yourself. Yummmmy.
We also had Cornish icecream - very creamy, and Cornish pasties - the real ones really taste so much better than Ginsters.
