Viajante Lovely place Ceri. We enquired about going up the canal to Exeter but takes weeks to organise apparently!
Viajante Interestingly it was also an area that we can considered to live in. Have you visited the NT property A La Ronde? Ah just checked and is temp closed. Guess it opens a week on Monday. Glad to hear that you are in a safe haven. Awful weather for May but sunshine in 10 days fingers crossed 🤞Just in time for your trip to Scilly Isles. Xx
Viajante Fantastic 😊 Can't wait to see where you get to 👍🏻
Viajante Woop woop!!! Great news guys...I’m sure Fino will look after you all! X
Viajante Yay, have a fab time xx
