Hi Herby
You take care of North Cornwall. On the longest day I'm off to south Cornwall for three days. My friend wants to go to the Eden project so will be in Parr, I believe it is 10 minutes from Eden Project. Never been to Cornwall before, that will then leave me about two more counties to visit in England. I would like to visit the place that 'It's hard to be green' was filmed, I think that it was the next town to Parr.
I don't know if I will like the Eden Project, I worked at the Botanical garden of Wales as part of my ND, before it was opened.
Enjoy yourself Herby, The girls are only jealous with your age, you're only as young as you feel!

Much as it pains me to say this, don't go to Roach or it's environs. They mine china clay around there, from the biggest man-made hole in Europe. You could sink a twenty storey tower-block in it, with none show over the top. It makes the locality grey as every thing is covered with talc. 
It is where my fathers family come from.
Launceton has the most amazing church, the outside is carved, it looks like someone has been doing crossstitch and then turned it to stone
Have a lovely time.

Peat, my husband always says that you're only as young as the woman you feel! Not sure if that helps Old H though.....
although it does sound as though he was having a good time with the farm girls the other night. He probably need a holiday to recover..

Hi Zena
I know how he feels. Some of the looks I get these days makes me feel as if I am a 90 yr olds toyboy!!

Hi Beccy.
Call me picky if you want (don't all shout at once) but I couldn't help marvelling at the Cornish chemistry that's going on near Roach.
"They mine china clay around there, ...makes the locality grey as every thing is covered with talc.
Mining china clay, something predominantly made up of Aluminium Silicate, whilst covering the area with talc, otherwise known as Magnesium Silicate.
I've heard that strange things happen in Cornwall, but is this the result of some misguided alchemy?
Better watch out Old Herbaceous, goodness knows what you might turn into!

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Rubberman do you reckon that talc might turn me into a sensible individual, now that would be a first. 
Kind regards Old Herbaceous.
Theres no fool like an old fool.

Why on earth would you want to be sensible Herby? 
That would seem to be a very dangerous path to tread - you could end up becoming "normal", and no-one would want that!

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Just one day of hard labour left, us gardeners must have the busiest times before we go on holiday.
Kind regards Old Herbaceous.
