If you're feeling the urge to recreate your pasty experience (and have a few hours to spare, haha), I did a post about it back in my blogging days.

We stayed in hostels, pubs, and camped along the way. I know Polruan and Fowey, and your pictures bring back such good memories.<br /><br />I hope your boys feel as strongly connected to Cornwall when they're older as you clearly do. It's a special, tucked away, place and I swear there's something magical in the air.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274028121590341230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-90996471607782258522014-08-17T17:01:47.743-04:002014-08-17T17:01:47.743-04:00Funny I should read about chip butties here!
