THE CALL OF THE WEST

It seems that each time we go off on holiday, we head south west. I don`t know whether it`s because of my West Country origins or the fact that we have always done it, but apart from a brief (and very wet) flirtation with Wales, we have always headed to the south west of England. Too many places to mention but we just love it there and although it has reached the point whereby we have seriously considered going elsewhere (Yorkshire has been mentioned, `appen) we strongly suspect that if we were to go somewhere different, we would get there and wish we were back somewhere off the A30.

Anyway, tomorrow, we head for Cornwall once again, but this time to a part of that magic kingdom we haven`t been to before (it seems you can spend a lifetime going to the West Country and never get to see it all.) We`re off to Talland Bay, pictured, between Looe and Polperro. It looks like a quiet place and apart from its spectacular coastal scenery, it has one claim to fame in that Richard and Judy have their holiday home there. If I see them I`ll ask them which is which.

More on that story later.
