Things I Learned in Cornwall

[windemere]

1) Beanie Babies are still all teh craze over here.
2) The Looe train stops at the crossroads. Not the cars.
3) The donkey pulling the cart of flowers makes the speed limit. The cars follow.
4) The wind can blow hard enough to spontaneously collapse an umbrella.
5) People you have never met can happily welcome you like long-lost family.
6) I would be forever happy if only the Dave channel was available online.

The US news seems to interest the British people much more than their own. I have no idea why.

It was a good trip. Even if it was only 28 hours long and interrupted by our very own south-coast hurricane.

Let me get this straight. If I were to load up all of my mom's former beanie baby collection and travel to Cornwall I could make money selling them????? She has tons of the things so this could be worth the trip!

I have no idea what the Dave channel is but I really just love the name.

Except you'd have to get all of them over here. For me, that would be 200, 50 of which are in cases. Too much effort. She should keep them; the craze will probably come back to NA at some point. That's what I'm counting on!

It's the all-guys channel. Kinda like Spike in Canada. All guys shows, all the time. Which is much more interesting then all the news or shopping channels.
