What a day!

Congrats to Jackie and Peter on their review in The Guardian today, outstanding and much deserved! Beautiful day in Cornwall, I was over delivering on the North coast just now, Watergate Bay was just buzzing, especially Jamie O's as was Newquay with 'The Run to the Sun' event this bank holiday weekend, VW's everywhere, I used to have one back in my slightly younger days, split back window, left hand drive........I digress. Incidentally Rock was glorious too with the sailing fraternity in their element. Enjoy your bank holiday weekend!

The Guardian's Top Tip!

Fame at last! Jackie & Peter's holiday cottage was featured in today's Travel Guardian - along with a nice 'top tip' featuring food4myholiday.The journalist loved the food at Well Cottage - we showed them the heavy horses working at Skye Grove Organics (http://www.skyegroveorganics.co.uk/) - (one of food4myholiday's suppliers and handily - one of our neighbours in Herodsfoot). Iain came over and did a spot of personal cheffing for them, - 'like Saturday Kitchen' they said!

Camel Valley wins Gold!

Talking recently about our friends at Camel Valley Vineyard, near Bodmin, they just won first prize at the International Wine Challenge for its Bacchus 2007 wine. It is the first time that Camel Valley has won a medal for a non-sparkling white wine. Its sparkling wine triumphed as well, however, winning gold in the Decanter World Wine Awards.
Delighted winemaker Sam Lindo said: “We’re paralysed with excitement, it’s more than we could have hoped for. There’s been a lot of stuff in the press about British sparkling wines, but this shows we can do it with still wines as well.”
