Jovie's First Holiday
Yay! Great to see you've been able to travel and go on holiday still with a new bairn around. Perhaps she may grow up with the same love of travel as her father 😊 I've never been to Cornwall, or Devon for that matter, so thank you for introducing me to this beautiful part of our country. It seems as though you all had an amazing time, and a very relaxing holiday! Great to read, thanks Alan 😊👍

Thanks for reading the blog. I think Jovie may have the travel bug; she definitely has the same love as I do for nature and wildlife. I cannot believe you've never been to Devon or Cornwall; It is such a beautiful part of the world. I still need to explore a lot of Devon, but Cornwall I have seen a lot, and I never tire of seeing Cornwall. Let me know if you ever need to know best places to visit in Cornwall or off the beaten track locations.

Love these!
As a chocolate lover, these would have intrigued me. I'm fairly sure I've seen the Grand Seville wrapper as a retro poster. Thanks for sharing :)

Chocolate wrappers
No problem. It's pretty cool to see how some of the classics have evolved over the years

Closed in too long
We were all closed in too long although we didn't have the restrictions you had. It is good to be out and about again. Keep traveling.

Restrictions
I heard all the states had different measurements, must have been confusing for domestic travel. My US colleagues in NY experienced really tight restrictions compared to my colleagues based in NC. I think you guys are in FL. So glad to see you Binkleys on the road again :)

A marvelous anniversary celebration
Sorry you had to delay. Sorry you missed the spa. I'm surprised they didn't tell you it was closed when you booked. You may want to contact the manager and see if he'll give you a discount when you return. Looks like you had a great time anyway. The Greek food looks great.

Booking
Ah sorry I should have said in my blog that we hadn't booked as due to low season there was plenty of availability. We wanted to book our timeslot once we were there. The Greek food really was great; I want to do the whole trip again but with the Thermae Bath next time round :)

Winchester
I've recently appreciated how interesting it is travelling in one's own country, and just how beautiful the UK is. Great to see you exploring another part of England Alan. Winchester looks like a very interesting place, and seems well worth a visit. Glad you've been able to assist a tourist in visiting some excellent places in this country, and it seems you very much enjoyed it too along the way! 😊

We are truly lucky to have so many interesting places to visit in our own country. If you ever visit Winchester, give me a shout as I live literally 20 mins away :)

We have yet to make it to Wales. Hopefully, we will get there in the next couple of years. Sounds like you are really doing a great job showing Miguel around.

Wales
I hope you manage a visit to Wales; there are so many beautiful places to see. A visit to the valleys and coastline walks are a must. I am a bit behind with my blogs but have another Wales blog to write up :)

Interesting poster
Wasting food is a real pet peeve of mine and sadly some parts of the world need these posters (minus the Hitler reference!). I'm now curious about Welsh cakes and need to google it to check if they are normal cakes bought in Wales or a special cake :)

Welsh cakes
Yes these are normal cakes you can buy in Wales and very popular with the Welsh. You can also get these cakes pre-packed in England and imagine other parts of the UK, but if you want them freshly baked, then best to buy them in Wales :)

I'm a passionate traveller and very content when exploring different places. I love to experience new cultures, as well as getting the opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world. My life changed somewhat in 2019 when I became a daddy and my priority has changed but my desire to travel very much remains. I have a fascination with Latin America; this is because of the beautiful scenery, fantastic wildlife, different types of cultures and history. I even learnt some Spanish to help when exploring these countries. TravelBlog has allowed me to share my stories with frien... full info
