Newquay,pronounced like Newfie
We are waiting to catch train for Manchester, in internet coffee shop run by church.Jaguars are separated for good now...T,G, and A are off to Exeter and Oxford respectively.
We plan to hang out in airport tonight as get in to Manchster at midnight and ahve to be at airport by 10 am, plus there is a timechange, and hotels are £100-150/night per room. Not worth it for 5 hours sleep.
Went to St. Genny's and found Robins tombstones in church yard! Beautiful place, church from 1300's...Saxon(I think) church. overlooking the sea.
Richard, Geoff, Theresa, and Anne walked down the trail to Tintagel Castle ruins. m,oma nd I stayed in pub and had hot chocolate and latte. Wind, hail and rain hit those walking down the trail. We were quite snug in our slate pub!
Also went to other church in Camelford where soem relative's were married. It had to be the most peaceful place I ahve been. They let the church yards become wild to encourage animals etc. It was full of birds and flowers-daffodils, heather, primroses. Littel straem trcikling through it. Did not see badgers or hedgehogs sadly.I could ahve sat in there for hours. Church there was also about 800 years old and we were able to go in it. Absolutely lovely. Also went to old slate house run by National Trust in Tintagel form the 1300's. Amazing and lovely garden there too.
Heather and laurel flowers smell beautiful.
We are sad to leave the UK as we ahve had a super time here. All the jaguars (or perhaps we should call ourselves badgers here) ahve gotten along splendidly.
I will write more when we are at home and have free computer time.
But ahve to say that tghe UK lived up to all I thought it would be...nice people, cream tea, amazingly old things.

It is always good when things live up to expectations. Looking forward to the full report, when you get over your jet lag.
It was fun travelling together. The other Jaguars are good travellers. Of course Judith and Allison you know that you are also Jaguars.
I was hoping you would not forget about us, replacing us with newer Jaguar models, thanks Theresa for putting my mind at ease.
