Cornwall

Hope you have good weather Gem. A good idea to break up the journey with an overnight stay somewhere.

Look forward to your holiday report Gem. 😄 Have a great time.

Saying you're staying overnight in Gloucester has made me think about how far it is from your home to Cornwall! At least it will be mostly motorway driving rather than the narrow country lanes you will get in Cornwall. When I first started driving to Cornwall (with girl friends, long before I met OH) I never noticed the distance (from North Staffordshire) and there were very few motorways in the mid-60s, but I guess we were young then and excited to be going on holiday so the miles just melt away.

It's a really long way Daisy!
We can't even share the driving, as OHs car is the newer, bigger and better one, so the best for such a long journey. It's manual and I am only licensed to drive automatic. It was her idea to go to Cornwall though, so she is OK with that!

I bet you're getting excited now Gem.I think an overnight stop will be something else to look forward to.I presume you're doing the same on the way back? Plenty of time for the weather to cheer up.

I agree Clover, even an overnight stay in an airport hotel before an early flight adds excitement!
We have allowed 2 days to travel back, and the sitters can stay until the Monday. Depending on how the downward journey goes, OH may decide to do it with just one stay. We haven't booked anything for the homeward journey yet, or decided where to stay.

Bristol would be a good place for you to stop Gemini, you could say hi to Jane J
