So What’s Everyone Doing Over Easter?

Roy

My wife and I are travelling down to Cornwall tomorrow at 4am, I’ve got two weeks off work so can get the heating replaced and ceilings removed in our future home. We are about 7 miles inland from a major seaside town, most probably won’t go into town as it will be too peopley. 
My son is coming down for the first week to help me. Hopefully will have some downtime to go and explore the quieter areas.

  • I'm hiding from tourists, reading the latest issue of the Fortean Times, I may make a load of pasties.

    I think I'd rather have your weekend than mine Roy, good luck.

    I’m an interloper in Cornwall, the Winter is much nicer as I can take the dog on the beach. As much as tourists can be annoying, I try to remember that the local businesses really need them. I imagine you have had to contend with them for much longer than me. 
    A tall person for removing ceilings, you are ideal! alas I am vertically challenged.

    Enjoy your Welsh Pasties.

    I do try and remember that too Roy, I just wish they'd remember to pack their manners when they come on holiday.  It's nice in winter being able to go more  or less where I want, I had to do a 25 mile round trip the other day to find somewhere I could walk Fearn off the lead and let her have a good run.

    Are you taking up the floors too? You could knock the ceiling out from the floor above? I wouldn't want to take down ceilings in an old house, to many spiders!

    I could sell my pasties, but I doubt everyone would want them as they're pretty much vegan, I put a bit of butter in the pastry or it's too short. They're my own recipe, chestnut, leek and mushroom pasties, but then you can have them with chips and everyone round here seems to want every meal to include chips!

    I freak out near spiders, this is why my son will be removing the ceilings, I am quite happy with a shovel and wheelbarrow.

    I’m quite lucky, there is a beach not too far away that the tourist don’t know of. ( no shops) You should sell pasties, the shops here charge £5 each for them!
