You have to get an Anne’s pasty if visiting, one of the best pasties around! And if you do make the journey down visit Coverack cove and go to Roskillys farm near st keverne. Roskillys is a working farm but has the most lovely restaurant in the old milking parlour and courtyard. They are famous for their ice creams and the food is amazing. There are beautiful woods and ponds to walk around and animals to feed. I don’t know the part of Cornwall that you are staying in that well but will ask my sons partner who is from Padstow as she will know better than me. What age range are you going to be in your group? Wow thank you so much I will print this and do a bit of googling. There are 13 of us! 3 childen 1yr 5yr snd 6yrs and then ten adults ranging from 36 -72! Quote

I would second The Eden Project - you could even have a go on their ridiculously high zipwire if you felt brave enough 😉 Quote

sunnyday Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Good morning - 'tis Friday Flippin' storm Eowyn can do one - have been awake from 4am and gave up trying to get back to sleep just after 5 - will definitely need a 'nana nap' this afternoon! Thinking of those further up country who are in Amber or Red warnings... Is anyone else watching 'The Traitors' - I love it! Hope that the weekend is kind to all x 2 Quote
Froglet Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I've never watched The Traitors but after hearing so much about it recently I'm tempted! It was definitely very blustery for us yesterday but our nursery children went outside with their streamers and other 'blowy' things and had an absolutely amazing time! I'm planning a day in school today (don't tell me off - helps me focus solely on the school jobs I need to do and they then take less time), then I'm pondering a film tonight - I have no idea what, any suggestions welcome. Tomorrow will be a domesticated, school free day with definitely some crochet and reading and possibly some baking in it too. I have a family weekend coming in a few weeks - ages 1 - 83, we've been searching for places for a gentle walk suitable for aged knees, lively dogs and small people who want to play and now we're on to trying to think of at home activities for the evening that can accommodate increasingly deaf and confused people! Again, any suggestions very welcome! Have a lovely weekend everyone. 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 Hiya young Froglet Do give The Traitors a whirl - I think it would appeal to you! Hope that your 'domesticated' day has been enjoyable. 'aged knees, increasing deaf and confused' - obviously you must have invited me - sadly the invitation hasn't arrived 🤷♀️🤣 Bit worried about where the 'Friday gang' are - particularly louby who is always up for a Friday chat - really hope that everyone is okay 1 Quote
Froglet Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Funnily enough I have just watched the first episode of the Traitors. Not sure about it as yet. My domesticated day has actually been spent in pjs doing very little - it’s been good. I hope everyone is ok too. PS Sunnyday I definitely posted your invite… 1 Quote

Saturday was actually a beautiful day. Just back home, time for a cup of tea and now watching Country File- whilst planning maybe a weekend in the New Forest now 🤔😁😂 2 Quote

So glad that you had your weekend away (and that you are well, I was worried about you) - the New Forest is one of my most favourite places 1 Quote
zigzag Posted January 26 Posted January 26 The first storm passed us by without any problem but the storm that went through this morning was wicked! I have never heard wind sound so evil! Tomorrow is not looking good either! Roll on summer, I have had enough of winter already! Hope everyone is safe and well. Ive watched the traitors, didn’t enjoy it as much as previous series though. 3 Quote

SueFinanceManager Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Afternoon all Miserable murky day here again......please spring can you just get an earlier train and arrive now!!!! Very quiet weekend pottering about planned and if this weather does not cheer up so I can get out to walk the dog the ratio of under the duvet to out of the duvet may be very narrow lol Take care and have fun whatever to all do xx 2 Quote
louby loo Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Afternoon all, Just back from a dance/fitness class... new year/new you and all that! 😂 (may have a short nap this afternoon to recover fully 🤔) Like Sue - a very murky day here too. I am trying to declutter the house at the moment with not a lot of success, I just seem to be making more mess as I keep finding long forgotten bits/bobs that look interesting!😂 1 2 Quote

Decluttering - I know what you mean - very much needed here - I did make a start with my airing cupboard and Mr S wardrobe and drawers - have to do so when he is not looking - too much of the "oh I might use/wear that again" 🤦♀️ 🤣 1 2 Quote

zigzag Posted January 31 Posted January 31 After the worst week of storms that seemed relentless, we have just had two of the most glorious days ever. My goodness it makes such a difference to mind, body and soul! 3 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted February 7 Author Posted February 7 Good morning - 'tis Friday How is everyone? For those still working - it's very nearly half-term - think I say this every year but it never fails to surprise me that this half-term marks the halfway through the school year mark... Dear goodness it's flippin' cold again - I realise that I shouldn't be surprised by this! Hope that the weekend is kind to all x 1 Quote
louby loo Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) Afternoon all. I went back to my class again today! 🤣 Very cold here even had some sleety type snow 😮❄️ One more week- which is three more days for me before half-term. I really need to sort my retirement out though 🙄 My daughter would like my GS so come to the setting- which means another year for me 😭.... but this itself is the *crutch* of the matter... I'd be having him two days of week the anyway- and if I'm totally honest it's far easier when I have him at the setting than it is at home! He just goes off and plays whereas - when at home I have the 'entertain' him all of the time! 🤣🤣🤣 have a good weekend everyone. ** not sure that's the correct word - happy to be corrected.

Mouseketeer Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Hi all, and 🙌 🙌 to half way through the school year sunnyday, I have never needed to see a year group move on to school as much as this years cohort for everyone’s sanity, I just hope we can break the cycle of the learnt behaviour in the staying children 🙏 Is anyone here an EYA member? If yes, can you tell me how to find their flippin policies please 🤷♀️ 1 Quote

If yes, can you tell me how to find their flippin policies please 🤷♀️ Well. I just found them... took me about 10 mins and I'm not sure how I actually found them!! I have the feeling that they have possibly now changed them so you only have access for a year? (or it may .be you just don't get the yearly updates anymore?) I went to the home page- logged in. After a bit of faffing I got to the Training and Resources, then the tab 'My purchases and bookings' - then kept scrolling down, I had to 'keep loading' more pages to find them. Hope that helps. 😊x 1 Quote
Mouseketeer Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Thanks Louby, is this on the new EYA central site? I’ve never used them but thought I’d take a look as I need to update a couple of our policies. Quote
