Yesterday, Pearl and I made breakfast. She cooked the bacon and helped me make pancakes. She measured the flour, baking powder, sugar, and other ingredients. She also helped flip the pancakes. After getting the meal together, we sat down to … Read More »
We spent a few days in Cornwall checking out coastal towns like Newquay (pronounced New-Key for us Americans), Padstow, Boscastle, and Tintagel. Newquay is a bit of a surfers haven. It has a bunch of beaches and can get substantial … Read More »
