Keys Corner

I don’t have much time usually for politian’s opinions, but I have to agree with the British MPs on this:

Friends of the Prime Minister have told The Independent on Sunday that he is planning to set up a Blair Foundation soon after leaving No 10, and one of its main aims will be to promote communication between Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

But the plan has been greeted with incredulity among MPs who say he has done more to create divisions between Islam and the West than any Prime Minister in living memory…

Never mind the driving skills these guys have got, I’d just like to be able to park like them.

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.
