Vacation V Staycation Costs

I thought it was obvious I was saying I would take care. Surely every sensible person will? No one is suggesting you should not visit as long as the rules permit it. My gripe is with those who do not obey the law.

A rise in infections is dreaded, apart from the obvious reason, in view of the NHS facilities available which are not geared to cope with huge increases in the population.

Pasties - Philps if you’re way down west. Cream teas (jam first) should contain Roddas clotted cream for preference.

And Italy is now the EU's number 1 hotspot for covid-19 with deaths nearly as great as the UK, watch this space, Italy will be going on the red list ay time soon,  who is the pleb one wonders

EU passport or no EU passport covid-19 does not know what you have, so flaunting the rules without a valid reason, and visiting a country with very high levels of infections would seem to be pretty irresponsible in my book, hope he takes his self isolation on return much more seriously

Presumably he went before the "reason to travel" forms took effect, as I don't think "because I want to" would be accepted as a legitimate reason? 

Seems a curious thing to do at the moment, given that the rates here are so much lower and given all the quarantine and testing he will be subjecting himself and his son to on return to the UK. 

Once words like diatribe, fear, glee, start to crop up, it’s best to end any attempt at debate. Blinkers are on, as stated, no interest in anyone else’s point of view, so best to walk away... 🤷‍♀️

 

If you’re up Tintagel/Padstow/Port Issac way, you can’t beat a pasty from Aunt Avices on the St Kew Highway (A39). If you’re around St Austell Bay area, you can’t beat a pasty from the Kings Arms in Mevagissey, Normally a pub, but the landlord is currently running it as a bakery, and very good it is too.

Trewithen Farm cream is good too.

I was thinking along these line Steve. Covid test (costs according to requirements and turn around etc.) Here's an example... LINK

Now we're on to important stuff! ().

For us, it's hard to match the pasties from St Agnes bakery - drive along to St Agnes Head and eat them there looking out over the coastline down to St Ives. Years ago the best (and biggest) cream teas we ever had was from a small place in Porthcurno called Louisa's - huge home made scones, more jam and proper clotted cream than you could ever use and a bottomless teapot. Sadly Louisa and her husband are no longer with us. Farmhouse cream teas are always a good bet, there is one just off the main road between Perranporth and Newquay which does a corker.

(Both the pasties and cream tea are likely to work out cheaper than crossing the channel for them, just to get back on topic! )
