Cornwall and Dads Ashes



It's taken us a few years but we're finally all going down to cornwall to scatter dads ashes.

Chris and Jess are at a wedding down there so it was an idea opportunityh for me to whisk mum down their too. I looked into getting the train down and it was going to take 10hrs and cost £120 each!!!! Flights down to newquay we're £120 each too??!?!

Therefore i'm driving down with mum in tow. We're stopping at a Travelodge in Oakhampton at a bargain rate of £26 for the room. Then on the monday head straight down to our hotel in penzance.

It's going to be a bit weird driving down with dad in the boot??!! hopefully he won't be keeping an eye on my speed!

We always used to go down to cornwall every year and dad loved sennen. It's only about three miles from lands end and the beach at sennen is fab.

So, we've decided to scatter his ashes on a coastal walk between sennen and lands end. Lands ends a bit tacky now as its a bit commercialised.

Aparently you're supposed to have permisison to scatter them but what the hell. We'll have to do a great escape and distribute them down out trouser legs!

Mums put some ashes in her acer tree at home and the rest will be over his favourite place.

I'll take some pics of the view and pop them on here later.

In the meantime here's few pics of the area, where we'll be doing it.
