Here you can see how much Mom is loving the sunny Cornwall coast, notice the palm trees,-- and Brian is getting by with his one pair of shorts, no pants- Still haven't got his luggage from the airlines, they have no idea where it could be. 
Here we are out at the ruins of Tintagel castle-quite the forbidding location and I can't imagine they had to fight anyone off--who would want to invade? In the legend, Merlin disguises Uther as Ygrain's husband, Gorlois, the duke of Cornwall. He sneaks him up the cliffs and into the castle where she welcomes him and Arthur is conceived. I didn't like climbing up there with stairs, let alone sneaking up the cliff face.
It was quite a climb up there and we left Mom at the Cafe at the bottom. In order to get there we hiked down and back up again--Mom rode down in a Landcruiser and decided to walk back up with us because she felt she hadn't had enough exercise yet that day. Hah! She has had enough now!
We drove home up the M5 and then came across near Glastonbury, but the music festival is on and the traffic was all backed up so we detoured. We seem to be doing a lot of that. Had dinner tonight in the George Hotel in Frome.
The weather has been cool so we have both been wearing our jeans, which we only packed just in case. Just goes to show you! We are getting up early tomorrow and heading north to Scotland. It will probably be colder there, but hopefully by the time we get down to London we will see some warmer weather.

Those cliffs are forbidding indeed! You'll never catch me hanging over that edge!
Kate, NO MOUNTAIN DEW???? What WILL you do?
Poor Brian! Isn't he cold?
This is SO MUCH FUN! Opening up this blog is like a treasure hunt for me--seeing where you've been and what you all are up to. It makes you being away easier. Now about Brian's luggage--how can I explain India...................? K
