Truro

29 Nov: Two days with no fixtures at home or online, and unseasonably warm forecast, albeit rainy. We'd thought about Truro when we drove past it last time, so Truro it is. Not much choice of campsites in winter. Looked at BritStops but didn't look inviting, not pubs. So booked Carnon Downs, 10 mins West of Truro; seemed to fail online. Oh well, won't be busy.

90 minute drive, then took 30 mins to park - all car parks full! What on earth is it like in summer?! Tesco for 2 hrs was our only option, given we don't do multistorey. Elevenses in Charlotte's Teahouse, a lovely old fashioned place cheek by jowl with v posh antiques in the Coinage Hall. Then the Cathedral. Splendid. Esp. the matchstick model. It rained.

Went to campsite to find pitch in light. My booking was on the system. Strange. Young man gave us 'the best pitch' but there was someone on it. Sigh. We set up next door, had our lunch we'd brought. It rained more.

Back into Truro, having left our little sign that Nic made on our pitch, and found a parking space! Walked around in the on & off rain. Some lovely properties. Truro is clearly v well to do. All that mining money found homes here. Bought two presents for Felix. Hit a few charity shops, L got a snazzy scarf. 

Went to ASK for tasty early dinner, because it was next to the Plaza where we then went to see Paddington in Peru which was brilliant. Hunkered down at campsite for a good old book read.
