back to cornwall

28th of Jun, 2000ce* in: diary

Today I woke up and got dressed, left the house in a casual strol and went to paddington station, there I took a train at 13.33 to Cornwall. Quite a whim I might say, but alas this was all pre-planned. I went to see my sister in towerdreath with Jun. The train journey down there was a bit long but as the grey drab concrete turned into green pastures a far, my heart warmed and my frown was turned upsidedown!

Got to Cornwall in the early evening and walked into towerdeath from Par station, the centre of the universe… no wait a minute, thats Bodmin, my mistake.

My sister bought a new car today [she wrote her mini off in a unmatched fight between big van and small car] its a yellow Ford fiesta, she paid 120 for it, the love wagon came with a hidden socket set too! Gary offered to get some rubbish from the bottom of his van and place it about the fiesta, just to make one feel in place :)

Went to polkerris beach in the evening, got a good old Cornish pint and sat out in the dwindling sunlight. I warned Jun about the Cornish accent, little did she belive me until the barman said wot will ewe be havin then me lover? and someone shouted ere! Jon yer taxis ere. She belives me now.

Went to a small local later that night and met my old photography teacher named Paul. He taught me how to operate all the machines in the _dark_ room. He also taught most of the year how to do photography when my other teachers were being stroppy!

Bed down, early morning.
