What a surprise!!!
My lovely wife told me a few weeks ago that we were going away for a weekend break, but wouldn’t tell me where we were going. This caused great anxiety, as she refused to tell me whether it was a one way or return trip….🤣
Anyway, we headed off after lunch, and I was instructed to head south-west. “Are we going to Cornwall darling?” I asked. “No!” Came a curt reply.
Well, after a couple of hours driving, we passed the ‘Welcome to Cornwall’ sign on the A30….. I wisely said nothing…..
We eventually pulled off the A30 and stopped at the ‘Jamaica Inn’.
I needed the loo and Denise insisted on taking care of the check-in process. We got the bags from the car, and then had a drink outside when shock #1 occured. My hat flew off with a little help from Andy ….
OK, so now Denise comes clean that our reservation couldn’t be found initially because it was in Andy’s name.
We finished our drinks and took the dogs for a walk to Golitha Falls
“Papa, Dis is fun” 
The co-conspirators 
Apparently, we had a table booked in the restaurant at 7pm, and so after a quick freshen up we headed off, got some drinks and looked at the menu.
Surprise #2 – Vicki and Jake suddenly appear. After the normal greetings we all had dinner together
A few more details emerged about the weekend plan. Apparently, we were meeting Vicki and Jake at the Cornwall Show in the morning then all going to see Yungblud at the Eden Project in the evening 😁😁
We said our good-byes and headed back to our room, where Callie and Alfie were chilling out.
After breakfast, Denise and I headed off to the Cornwall and Devon Show with the woofers.
“Mama, iz it treaty timz?” We met up with Vicki and Jake, and listened to “The Fisherman’s Friends” who were brilliant. We couldn’t get in to the show, but managed to sit behind the stage which was great.
Denise asked me to slide down the bank on my belly to get a photo of their bums!! Really???
No bum notes here…. We then had a wander around the show
“Phil, would this saw fit in your workshop 🤣🤣” 
“Denise and Vicki were mesmerized by the Iberian horse display 
We left the show and dropped the dogs back to Vicki’s before heading off to the Eden Project.
Little did I know, we had VIP tickets, which included a FREE bar….. Some of you know that Denise doesn’t drink so it was down to me to get our money’s worth 🤣🍺🍸
Did I mention the FREE bar …🤣 We had a great view and enjoyed the support act, Crawlers.
Crawler, getting the crowd ready 
Chilling before Yungblud started with my lovely wife 💓 
And then we get photo bombed 
Yungblud 
View from our platform…. Did I mention the FREE bar?? 🤣 
Andy watching the UEFA Champions League match 
The Eden Project is a stunning location for a gig 
What a night…. Great music, and company The only downside of this fabulous evening is that I now want VIP passes for all future gigs …… I have warned the bank manager 🤣
After dropping Vicki and Jake off, picking up the dogs and saying goodbyes we headed back to the hotel.
Sunday morning, we walked the dogs and had breakfast with Andy and Stella. We checked out, and apparently the staff weren’t happy with me….
“Peebs – Papa needs a good Stock Broker” We headed off to Tintagel for a wander.
Bridge at Tintagel 
Hedgerow 
Then we headed to Boscastle.
“Mama paddles wiv us” 
A lovely weekend, with many, many thanks to my fabulous wife xx

Our time at NFFF
We wouldn’t consider ourselves as ‘Folk Music Fans’ but we do love a good festival and good music. This festival ticked all of the boxes, plus our 4 legged children were welcomed.
As normal with my posts, there are quite a few pictures, not specifically of massive stars, but of human beings enjoying themselves. I love people watching and festivals are brilliant for this. People can be free, and express themselves without being judged. I sat and chatted to many of the lovely people in these images, and they had fascinating stories
I hope you enjoy the pictures, see you at the next festival?
Our home for a few days. Hardly roughing it. 
A local group called Plaitford Common who were excellent 
Our dear friend Eileen, enjoying the weather and music 
LGBQT+ Dog? 
Another dear friend Tom, who also stewards at festivals, enjoying his downtime. 
“Never mind the music mum, there’s food over there!” 
“Am I going to get any of that coffee mum?” 
Matt Griffiths’ Root 66 
The legendary Ralph McTell, who wrote and sang ‘Streets of London’. He sounded fantastic, despite being 77 years young 
There were some stunning sunsets 
And lots of hats – The weather was hot 
“Papa, Does I need to wear dis wet towel? It does cool me down but it’s killin da street cred!!” 
This hat wouldn’t fit Alfie 
A good festival for those selling ice cream 
Some wonderful costumes worn by members of the ‘Joe Broughton’s Conservatoire Ensemble’ 
We took the opportunity to take the dogs across the road to the common and found these 2 cuties. 
Lot’s of beasties trying to find what little water was around 
Tom advising Anna on the Tumbling tower game 
And a cream tea with cousin Sue and clan, in between acts 
A lovely lady spinning a yarn 
“Not that one!!!” A lovely few days, in a beautiful, peaceful setting, with great friends and music. We’ve already booked for next year.
