Got a chance to use my FIL's computer so I just wanted to say hi

Adrian, I've had mushy peas and chips and I liked it! I've got some great pics of Josh enjoying it too

The cottage we're staying in is a converted barn on a working farm. Padi, There are Cornish sheep everywhere

We're off to a piss up, er family lunch, at a pub in a bit. When I get a chance, I'll try to get some pics on Dad's computer and post some. Take care everyone.
Cheers,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Nice to have you posting from your new adopted country. Must be a BIG change for you and I can understand just how you must be feeling.

Say Hi to Tam and a big hug and a kiss to that little Josh. Take care and keep posting whenever time permits.

Cheers - JJ

Bruce,

Where are you in Cornwall? (PM if necessary). We're at our place in St Ives at the moment although probably heading back to the Isle of Wight for most of this week. We're in Cornwall sometime most weeks....

Nick

Prince · 20 February 2006, 04:04 AM

Ah, Cornwall. Now there's an area of England the wife and I have never visited. Next trip, perhaps.

Eat a lot of Cornish Pasties, now...

C.J. · 20 February 2006, 04:09 AM

Glad to see you arrived safely, Bruce

Enjoy yourselves

mailman · 20 February 2006, 05:15 AM

Hey Bruce. Glad you and the family arrived safely. Can't wait to see the pics you took

dman · 20 February 2006, 06:18 AM

Hey pal, thanks for saying hi!! Hope you guys are having a blast.

How goes the house hunt? Be well.

I must admit to being biased... I was born (and we have a house) in St. Ives Cornwall, but my wife comes from Jersey, Channel Islands and our main home is on the Isle of Wight. This is also complicated by the fact that, during the week, I generally work in Surrey and my wife is a Professor in Devon.

Perhaps that's why we like to visit Cornwall at least once a week, to regain our roots in the South West

Thank God we don't have a complicated life!

dman · 20 February 2006, 08:29 AM

Nick, that is some serious non stop moving around pal.

BTW/ I hope the missus is feeling better pal.

Veronica's making great progress, thanks:- but she's a grumpy patient

She hates having to "stop" !

It's great to see her looking so much better though!

Rockrolex · 20 February 2006, 07:22 PM

Glad to hear Veronica is doing so much better, Nick.

And, Bruce, glad you made it ove OK. And don't feel bad about the weather. The stuff in London is pretty god awful at the moment. Rain and cold. Much worse than we've usually experienced this time of year on our trips over. Hope you have a great stay and we'll try to get together when we're both back home.

JJ Irani · 20 February 2006, 07:30 PM

Hey Ed,

Come home soon....I miss you!!

The weather's not doing too well I'm afraid. As you say its usually milder and dryer than this (heck, they're talking of a hose ban all the way through Southern England!).

Hope today goes well; sorry that I can't make it, but Veronica comes first... even compared to you guys

Understood, Nick. We'll miss you, but it'll give us an opportunity to talk about you behind your back.

We're staying in a cottage just out of Launceston. The inlaws are in Callington. We'll be at a Pub quiz in Gunnislake (Tavistock Arms) Tuesday night if you're in the area.

BruceS · 20 February 2006, 11:13 PM

Hey Padi, there are sheep everywhere! JJ would be in heaven!!

We had a great lunch yesterday. Things are going well. We're just starting to contact some estate agents, so hopefully we can get something let soon.

Gotta go for now. I'll get back online when I can.
Cheers,
Bruce

21 February 2006, 12:00 AM

Bruce??? Sounds familiar...

Glad you're having a good time, mate.

I suppose it would be too much for me to ask you to give some sheep a tight hug and a kiss from me? Or maybe our Padi can do that in case there are too many for you to cope up with!!

Okay, maybe a different Launceston.......

Glad to see you are having a good time, Bruce!

BruceS · 21 February 2006, 10:14 PM

We've gotten a bit sidetracked now. Poor Joshy has got a virus that is going around the area. The little guy has never been sick, but now he's got a fever and is just miserable.

This country is so civilized though. We got in to see a doc straight away at no charge and even got a prescription at no charge. The doc said, what's 10 minutes of our time? Especially for a little one. I love England even more now!
Cheers,
Bruce
