In 1961, my mum, dad, younger brother Brian and I had a short Bed and Breakfast holiday in Cornwall, based at a B&B in Truro. I've only been back there once since - when Brian and Wendy (from Liskeard) were married. Our dad, who died just a couple of years ago, was the priest at the wedding.

I've always wanted to go back, and a couple of weeks ago mum (rapidly approaching her 90th birthday) and I had a similar mini-break, based in Wadebridge. We weren't trying to recreate the past, but we did go back to some of the places we'd been back to back then, and at some point soon I hope to upload some scans of the slides dad took all those years ago. In the meantime, this is a quick record of our few days in Cornwall (and a bit of Devon!)
