Wednesday 29 June FIRST OF ALL thank you Issy for your messages yes we got them both and you are a sweetie to write to us. Sorry to hear you are all sickees though. Grandma saw a little mouse on the track today and had to step over it. If you look at the photos from yesterday you will see a little brown frog that was on the camel trail. It was very small about the size of your hand. Cute too. Today started nice and sunny and we decided to go to Tintagel. This i...

We headed away about 9ish towards Truro where we were able to park right near the ticket box for the ferry.
