Yes please to the podcast! Have you listened to the Wiggly Wigglers podcast? (http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/podcasts/index). Having lived in Cornwall for many years I can highly recommend the Helford River valley area for spectaculor scenery.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year.<BR/><BR/>KarenHeather @ Wiggly Wigglershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032015832576612127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-37829092447872908882007-12-30T19:34:00.000+00:002007-12-30T19:34:00.000+00:00I've been wanting to make my own paper, too.

Tim Smits drove the Heligan restoration which inspired the idea for him getting the Eden Project going.<BR/><BR/>We also enjoyed the Witch Museum at Boscastle hugely! I wonder if it is still there after all the flooding they've had, since the museum was right in the estuary.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196747651932497845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-49081674135933125932007-12-29T22:26:00.000+00:002007-12-29T22:26:00.000+00:00Wow.

I'll hunt for Inky's wallet in the morning and post it toot sweet.

Being private tends to keep the worst of the riff-raff off because it's £3 a day to park.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901297556949267754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-36363378563314226452007-12-29T22:20:00.000+00:002007-12-29T22:20:00.000+00:00The Barbara Hepworth gallery in St Ives is excelle...The Barbara Hepworth gallery in St Ives is excellent. And while you're at it, try the Tate, too. Both well worth a visit. Just don't drive into town, use the park and ride.<BR/><BR/>The bird of prey place is fun, the kids loved it - we turned up at the right time to let them have hawks perch on their hands etc...<BR/>http://www.cornishbirdsofprey.co.uk/<BR/><BR/>There's a couple of bee places, one near Wadebridge the other's in Devon http://www.quincehoney.co.uk/<BR/><BR/>The ferry across the Camel from Padstow is nice - start the other side, go to Padstow and have a nice walk round and a picnic on the headland, let the kids run about on the low-tide landing beach picking crabs then ferry back.<BR/><BR/>The kids (and we) have had two or three wonderful evenings at <BR/>http://www.sterts.co.uk/, but take cushions. Very low key place, not at all posh and very friendly.<BR/><BR/>There's a tapas bar in Wadebridge called La Mesa - very welcoming to kids and if you avoid eating a meal but just stick to several rounds of tapas it's cheap and offers a lovely varied selection. Good wine, too.<BR/><BR/>On the way home we've always stopped at The Big Sheep<BR/>http://www.thebigsheep.co.uk/<BR/><BR/>I guess Squid and I will think of some more in a bit. If you'd asked us today we might have remembered some more.<BR/><BR/>Inky left his wallet - probably in Tom's room - when you get a moment can you shove it in the post?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901297556949267754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-86806245393513550442007-12-29T21:44:00.000+00:002007-12-29T21:44:00.000+00:00funny enough I blogged about men-an-tol in Cornwal...funny enough I blogged about men-an-tol in Cornwall, today before visiting here. worth a visit<BR/><BR/>also Mousehole is nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-86663323438536884562007-12-29T16:27:00.000+00:002007-12-29T16:27:00.000+00:00If you are in the St. Austell area and the brewery...If you are in the St. Austell area and the brewery trip is not your idea of fun, try the Lost Gardens of Heligan..Gidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10981172948111611634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-57461992950715651722007-12-29T15:56:00.000+00:002007-12-29T15:56:00.000+00:00Making paper is a lot of fun.

Planning ahead, handmade paper makes great gifts as stationary, artist paper, or your own collages.

Their tours are excellent, although Ozzle itself didn't set my trousers on fire.

Have you considered doing a video podcast like http://gardenfork.tv/ ? Somehow having the visuals makes everything so much more obvious to the novice like me.<BR/><BR/>~TessAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395534300762460678noreply@blogger.com
