Holiday Day 1 to Penzance

We have now made it to Penzance after one or two hiccups.  After setting up Button, Sheila and Colin we finished our final pack and set off from Lower Town at 11:30.  By then I had lost our Skybus ticket to Lands End but a quick call to Merryn, a friend on the check-in desk, and a replacement would be produced, so hiccup 1 was successfully dealt with.   As we were leaving Lower Town quay, Sheila produced her camera and took a picture or two.  I decided to reciprocate and looked in the hand luggage for my camera but to no avail, a more thorough search was no more successful.  I then thought I had left it at home and so I phoned Colin and asked him to look where I thought I had left it but he rang back even having looked in the Landrover with no sign of it.  We decided to carry on and have some lunch with Heather and Alan before I would come back to the quay and look in our suitcase.  Lo and behold when I looked in the case I soon found the camera and rephoned Colin to grovel and apologise for the trouble caused. Humble pie and embarrassment for me.   2^nd hiccup overcome.  After that we flew to Newquay and had a minibus ride back to Penzance where we met Christine’s Uncle Rodney for a meal in the evening – he had been to Penzance for a medical appointment.  So ended an interesting and eventful day!  No Wifi today so will post 2 days tomorrow.
