March 17 – Godmanchester to Canonstown, Cornwall

It was sad saying “goodbye” to Adrian, Charlotte, Grace and Eddie on Tuesday morning. They made us feel very welcomed and part of their family. We drove 345 miles down to Canonstown in Cornwall to visit our friends from my Montreal days, Camille and Stephen. The roads in England are very easy to negotiate – lanes are clearly marked, signs are large and early, and drivers are disciplined and courteous. It was a lovely day – about 12.5C to 15C and once we passed Exeter the scenery became undulating with many picturesque villages. Adrian had suggested that we buy lunch for the road, which we did, so our stops were short and our consumption of fast food restricted! We arrive at Camille’s about 6:30 p.m. in time for drinks, dinner, much catching up, and bed around midnight.
