Cornwall
We got back yesterday from visiting my mother in Devon. We had decided that since we’ve neither of us ever been to Cornwall (at least not that we remember!), that we should go that extra mile and visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project while we were in the UK. Both were the brainchild of Tim Smit, who must have had an inexhaustible supply of energy to get both locations up and running in a space of about ten years. Both are well worth a visit.
The photo above is of an old petrol pump in St Mawes, on the Cornish coast not far from St. Austell, which is where we stayed. The price in “new pence” was 2.4 pence/liter – we paid between 93p and 97p per litre when we drove down from Stansted Airport to Cornwall. If you click on the photo, it links to some more photos we took in Cornwall.
