Dear Andy, Hello from not-so-sunny Cornwall! I have finally been finding have finally found an internet cafe and thought Id write to you to escape from the weather. Its rained for days it hasnt been stopping once. As you can probably imagine, this isnt much fun if youre camping; I havent been sleeping very well and I ache all over. Anyway, enough of my moaning.
