The title of this post is taken from the website for Henry's campsite, our first stop on the LE-JoG adventure. It looks like a great little place and, fingers crossed, we should be parked up there by early evening. I've never been further south than Newquay and have heard wonderful things about The Lizard coast and Sennen Cove...needless to say I'm also excited at the thought of a proper Cornish pasty and possibly some Cornish ice cream, yum! Thanks to Ro & Jake for the sat nav, now I can totally enjoy just driving the van and not faffing about with maps (I do love maps, but I'd rather not try and navigate on my own while trying to keep a big van on the road). There is something about our van that I just adore, the feeling I get when driving it -even round Bristol- makes me instantly happy. When we bought it last year it had clearly been cherished and used for lots of fun adventures and I think we have continued in that vein. The van's inaugral trip to Scotland last year, our Belgian holiday and lots of weekends away in between mean it has a permanent 'holiday' air about it!

Ben's route will take us back through Bristol on Thursday night so thankfully I can put off most of my packing til then. I only got back at 9 last night after a long day forcing kids to articulate their opinions on war crimes, justice and the Nazis. I could just about handle Glee, nothing that required more thinkng! So, with a Madonna soundtrack looping round my head, now is the time to get out of my pj's and get organised for the next few days. Land's End, here we come!
