Super stuff Pete, I bet you can't wait to get track down!
Looks like the weather in Cornwall is worse than it is in Wales!

It can be, but it was just before it got dark, so it looks a little gloomy on the pics. It was lovely and sunny the last few days...

Your Edrig's looking really great there, you're so lucky to have such an awesome backdrop to pose it against!
