Day
1- Monday 16th September 2019
In
a beautiful Indian Summer. Excellent train journey
via Birmingham (where we picked up sandwiches) and Exeter.
Connections both on time. Not bad after
7 ½ hours.
On
the Cornwall train a kind lady offered her seat by the
window so I could enjoy views. Don offered her
some refreshments but she declined but the trolley man
gave her a Twix anyway! Everyone suitably impressed.
A nice lady visiting her friend in St Austell.
Arrived on time.
The
hire car was waiting just outside and the chap went
over everything. All straightforward although
needs two pieces of identity with addresses IN ADDITION
to driving licences! The Kia car was very good.
Not
far to Luxulyan and the “Old Vicarage”. Overshot
the entrance and went down a long drive to wrong house.
Not a good move; owner not friends with our B&B
hosts!
Wendy
met us and showed us our very nice room-spotlessly clean
and very tasteful (as we have similar soft-furnishings!).
Apparently she is a professional needlewoman.
After
unpacking, walked to the Kings Arms before last orders.
Other residents in there too. There was
an old map of the village on the wall. Where had
my ancestors lived?
Long
day. G&T very welcome.
