Cornwall
What a lovely family holiday Alan! Every time I read one of your blogs about Cornwall, I feel really inspired to visit. It's still an unexplored part of the UK for me. I love how you find so many interesting little places to visit, you certainly know how to make the most out of your time there! 😊

Cornwall
Thanks for reading. I am glad to have given you some inspiration. I hope you get to visit one day. It really is a lovely part of the world and, although technically part of England, you can really sense the Cornish independence and difference when you visit there. I just love to explore, so every time I go to Cornwall I like to visit at least one new location or attraction.

Sunny Cornwall
I'm with Josie... I don't like cold water. She's my kind of gal. Thanks for sharing the trip.

Thanks for reading the blog. I'll have to buy Jovie a swimsuit for future visits to Cornwall

Llandudno
Glad to see you were able to get a holiday in during those rubbish times, Alan. Llandudno looks fascinating, and it just goes to show that there is so much to see in every nook and cranny of this beautiful country. Good to see you enjoying yourselves, and also getting in some Fish 'n' Chips and an Afternoon Tea! 😊

Beautiful country
There really is so much to see and do in Great Britain. I am going to try and take advantage of exploring close to home for the next few years, as probably my best way to travel and explore right now with having a small child :D

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 :)

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
