            Well Cornwall is our final destination so now our trip is really over!, we have now been in Cornwall since the 27th October and have decided to stay for the winter, Why,  A, to keep Mum company for a while and B, to enable us to get back into working life, I must say we were hoping that things would of cheered up a bit while we were away but they have only got worse!, it could be a few weeks for us to get Jobs that we both want to stay in so in the meantime I have picked up a cleaning job and Danny is traveling back to Berkshire to try and pick up where he left off. Things actually do not look too bleak as Danny has picked up his first job and I have an Interview for something that pays a little more then a cleaner and Mum has sold the house and found a new house to move into, so fingers crossed things are on the up and up for all of us.
