Trip report : Christmas in Cornwall
We've done Christmas at home, just the two of us, Christmas with family, but we've never had Christmas away. This year Sally decided we should try the latter. I initially objected because I thought sh...

Thanks for all the comments everyone.
I'll pick out a few to reply to:
Whazoo : We are taking the camper up to Sally's sister's house tomorrow for a couple of nights including New Year's eve. This Christmas trip went so well we are considering doing the same next year - possibly the other side of the country - Norfolk.
clikrf8 : I've only seen pictures of the Oregon coast; never been lucky enough to visit, but yes, I see some similarity.
RobertRyan : Yes, there are good roads to Tintagel. However if you avoid the main road and take the lanes via Crackington and Millook Haven then they are a whole different world.
Sleepy : Yes, you are absolutely right - we try to spend as much time away in the camper as we can.
btggraphix : We loved walking that rugged coast with its interesting geology. I thought of you immediately when I say the folded rock of the Cornish cliffs.
jefe 4x4 : Fascinating to hear about the Cornish miners. I've seen signs of them in other locations, such as New Zealand. Interesting to see how people always bring a little bit of home with them when they move to a new continent to work.
seldomseensmith : We certainly had a wonderful time. Normally I hate the short days of winter - light after 8am, dark by 4pm, but this actually gave me a much needed chance to lie in bed late and relax, something I'm not normally good at doing.
cewillis : Would have included pictures of some Arthurian legends if we found them, but unfortunately Arthur and Merlin must have been tucked up in the warm for the winter - we did find Santa though.
Led 67 : I just happened to have a camera in my hand as I noticed Sally struggling with the doors in the wind :)
flaxi : Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you.
67avion : The buffeting of the howling winds was a bit tiring - between that and the sound of the rain it did take a toll on our sleep.
