Nice to see you back on TH-cam. Shame about your holiday experience, hope you made a full recovery and congratulations with your family news 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Hi Trev & Sue, Many thanks for watching & thank you so much for your kind congratulations 🤗 Hope you’re Euro trip is going well, safe travels & all our best wishes, Keith & Michele x
Fantastic blog first hols for the little 1 keep it up we've been caravan it for a long time and every time our children met a lot of friends over the years x
Hi @tonyconnell435 Many thanks for watching ❤️ Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
We love Polmanter and have been going for years. We walk to and from St Ives or Carbis bay at least once a day but sometimes twice. You get used to the hills, although it is more challenging climbing after a few pints of Rattler outside the sloop😂
Hi @Planty64, We thoroughly enjoyed our short time at Polmanter, such a shame it was cut short 🤨 Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
So sorry to hear you were both unwell on this trip with the dreaded C! Hope you’re feeling better soon.
But delighted for your new addition… a baby girl!!! How exciting 🥰🥰
Hi Carla, Many thanks for watching & thank you for your lovely best wishes. It was horrible to cut our holiday short, just starting to feel on the road to recovery. The news of our new addition certainly kept our spirits up 🤗 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele x
We're in Brum. So about 255 miles. We travel overnight and stop often. Do not travel to Cornwall from the mids or north from on a Saturday. You will be on M5 for several plus hours. !!!!!!!
Hi Dave, Many thanks for your advice 👍🏻 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Such a shame missed so much avoid steinstow (Padstow) wonderful place 15 years ago. Mousehole (mousle) wonderful original fishing port. Fabulous county. We always stay at Dinham farm park opposite steinstow near rock. No shop no bar maybe a pool but bin closed since COVID. But a fab place. If your self contained the sky's the limit. As much space as you want. Washrooms new clean and very well appointed. Pay per person. Not per pitch. Tents. (Us) caravan. (brother in law). Motorhome. ( Another bro in law) all together all with electric and as much space as we wanted. If it sounds like an add it is. Wonderful site. We go every year at least once.
Hi Dave, Many thanks for your recommendations 👍🏻 Really helpful to know. We’ll definitely be returning to Cornwall next year & hopefully be able to explore more of the area than we did this year! Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Hello to you both !
Even a vlog with the word “Disaster” in it comes across with the usual professionalism and excellent content.
After all that travelling to such a beautiful site and then having it cut short so abruptly was such a shame .
I can imagine how daunting the thought of the drive back to KM Towers feeling so rough must have been. 🤢
At least the happy ending came with the lovely announcement of your impending addition to the family - we are so pleased for you !
Hopefully by now you are feeling better and back at work 😷 🦶
Take care both of you and look forward to your next adventure!
Howard & Sandra xx
Hi Howard & Sandra, Thank you so much for your kind words of support & best wishes, as always.

So sorry your holiday was cut short by covid it’s not going away is it. But your video up to then was great I just love Cornwall just can’t beat it especially when you get good weather. I’m just turned 60 and havre been visiting all my life. We came back from Dordogne in France 3 weeks ago but off to Cornwall in the morning near Perranporth and can’t wait. Always have a trip to St Ives just beautiful. Anyway hope you both get your strength up soon and a huge congratulations to you for your forthcoming new arrival to the family. Take Care

Hope you enjoy your travels again soon 👍🏻

So sorry to hear you both had the dreaded C but so pleased you are both beginning to feel a lot better now such a shame to have interrupted your holiday. Congratulations 🥳 on the news of your new granddaughter that is on the way, January will be an exciting month. Take care Julie and Tony xx
Hi Julie & Tony, Many thanks for your lovely best wishes 🤗 It was so disappointing to be ill, we’d been so looking forward to our holiday to Cornwall 🙁 Thank you for watching, sending our best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele x
Hi Keith and Michelle, so sorry to hear your holiday was cut short due to covid. I was in intensive care with it in April 2020 and it's not to be recommended. Hope you are feeling better soon and congratulations on becoming grandparents again. Enjoy your time ;))
Hi Stew, So sorry to hear you were very ill with Covid, sincerely hope you’re fully recovered & not suffering any long term effects. Thank you for your kind best wishes & thank you for watching. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
We’re experiencing much the same this week..Away in Motorhome on site but both now isolating with Covid until well enough to drive home! Enjoyable vlog and looking forward to seeing your next one now! 👍☺️
Hi Wills On Wheels, We’re so sorry to hear you’re holiday was ruined by the hideous Covid 😠 Hope you manage to get away again soon🤞Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Hi Keith and Michele not good that you had to end your holiday in that way. Speedy recovery in getting better to full health 😙 or maybe judgment about rubbing it in about the sun being so loverly when we spoke on the phone 😂 . St ives is one place I’ve never been looks loverly , congratulations on becoming grand parents again hope to catch up again soon best wishes Mark & Hazel
Hi Mark & Hazel, Many thanks for watching & thank you so much for your kind best wishes 🤗 It was a very disappointing end to the holiday but we’ll definitely be back! Congratulations to you both on your new addition 😉 Sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.
Hello Keith and Michelle so sorry to hear your holiday was spoiled by covid. We are going down to a site very near St Ives as well towards the end of August hoping we get to enjoy it. I did love the footage of St Ives it’s a charming place, glad you got to enjoy some of your time there.
But so nice to have some positive news on becoming grandparents, congrats! Looking forward to seeing a few more of your adventures in the future, love from Sue & Siobhan xx
Hi Sue & Siobhan, Many thanks for your lovely best wishes 🤗 Hope you have a wonderful trip to Cornwall in August, we’re bitterly disappointed our trip was so short! Sending our best wishes to you both, safe travels, Keith & Michele x
Wow that guy was amazing at paddle boarding. Great skills lol. Glad your both feeling better. Love the video
Hi Chris, Many thanks for watching, we were certainly impressed with the paddle boarder, he didn’t give up! 😆 Head first into the water…priceless! 😂 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Congratulations on your granddaughter news
Many thanks for your kind congratulations Maria 🤗 Exciting times ahead 🥰 Thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Hi the same thing happened to us only we were in France just didn't know what to do so just kept ourselves to ourselves, hope you are feeling better now.
Hi Louise, So sorry to hear you were ill 🙁 Definitely worse for you being abroad, at least we could go home 🤗 Both of us back to normal now but we did feel pretty rough for a few weeks! Many thanks for watching, sending all our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Our favourite site in the country , so well run always drawn back to it
Hi Paul, It is a fabulous site with so much to do. Extremely well run. We’re booked to go back next year . Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele
Sorry your Cornwall trip was cut short. Good that you are coming back next year. We were just around the headland at Sennen Cove probably at the same time as you. We love Cornwall but it’s easy as we only have a 2 hours drive to St Ives, 2.75 with the van.
Regards John & Wendy
Hi John & Wendy, Many thanks for watching, we hope you had a wonderful holiday in Cornwall, we’re definitely going back next year! Didn’t get a chance to do anything apart from seeing St Ives! Sending our best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele.
So sorry for the COVID-19 attack on you all.
Lovely videos. Rest up and get well guys.
Hi Wayne, Many thanks for watching, it was pretty much a disaster & very disappointing to end the holiday early 🙁 We’ll be back though & very much looking forward to exploring Cornwall. Sending all our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Hi guys. Lovely to see Cornwall. My grandparents originated from there...up on the north coast at Padstow. We went there always in the summer holidays. Me and my son have both had covid...even when we were positive we had no ill effects. We got the negative test on good friday and since then we do weekly test at home...the test cost us nothing as he gets them from the place where he works. Stay well and stay safe. I´m afraid to say that Covid will be with us for along long time.
Hi Roger, Many thanks for watching, Cornwall is a beautiful place & we’re very disappointed that our holiday was so short. We’ll definitely be going back! You were very lucky not to have symptoms with Covid, it’s certainly strange how it effects people differently. At least we’re on the road to recovery now! Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele
Wish you are all ok now.
Many thanks for watching Vinh, much better now thank you 😊 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Exactly the same thing happened to us when we were at Lady's Mile in Dawlish Warren, first week of July. I tested positive the day before we were due to leave but we made the decision to leave and go home the next day. Glad we did as I was not sure I would have made it the next day! Like you a nearly 6 hour journey. Margaret tested positive but not until several days later. It does hang around a bit even after you test negative. Wouldn't mind but we have both had four vaccinations!!! The problem was we were due to move to a site in Wells, which we had fully paid for, so we lost all that money as the site didn't suggest they would move the booking. How did your site deal with you going home early? Obviously it was our decision not to go so I suppose I can't blame the site but a little goodwill would have gone a long way! Glad I found your video as the site you stayed at looks rather nice.
Hi David, Sorry to hear you also caught the dreaded Covid 🙁 It’s definitely not nice! We didn’t ask for any money back as ultimately it was our decision to leave. It’s a fabulous site though & we will be returning next year, hopefully for the full duration! 🤗 Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you & Margaret, take care, Keith & Michele.
Your vlogs just get better and better! 👍Great photography & background music. How do you find such lovely sites to stay at, this one must be expensive with all those wonderful facilities! Love St Ives, even though it’s not the sleepy Artists paradise 🖼👨🎨 it used to be but still gorgeous. Sorry to hear about covid, it’s rotten 🤧Congrats on new grandchild!
Hi Jill, Many thanks for your kind words of support & your lovely best wishes 🤗 We loved St Ives & will definitely be returning to spend more time there! Sending all our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele x
Did you mean a Wind sock that’s gives a wind warning so people can see the direction of the wind
Yep that’s the one. Thanks for watching Paul. Sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele
We have been there twice , it’s a lovely site. Sorry you was not feeling your best and hopefully you will be back fit as a fiddle soon 🥰xx
Hi Jackie, Many thanks for watching, it’s such a shame the holiday ended so abruptly 🙁 Like yourself, we loved Polmanter & are looking forward to returning next year. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele x
Hiya... So good to see you after so long....looked lovely where you were but how vile to get Covid!!! We caught it in early July and were ill for weeks so we know kinda how you felt.... still not right now to be honest..... hope you both get your energy back really soon... take care Paolo and Roger aka 'The Camp Caravanners'
Hi Paolo & Roger, Many thanks for watching, we were bitterly disappointed to cut the holiday short, we’d been sooo looking forward to it! Sorry to hear you’ve both been ill, sincerely hope you’ll be back to normal soon🤞Sending our best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele.
Sorry to hear you were both ill, hope your feeling 💯 % soon.
Many thanks for watching Roads Home, Feeling much better now, took a few weeks though! 🤨 Sending our best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele.
So sorry to hear your holiday was spoilt by covid. We can sympathise as in June the morning we were all packed up and ready to go hubby felt off colour, made him test and yep that big red line was there. I closely followed. Five days in bed feeling rotten and three weeks to shake off the worst fatigue ever. We managed to get away to the coast a couple of weeks ago and four days in the caravan was the best medicine ever. Get well soon both, covid is no joke.x
Hi Cas, So sorry to hear you also suffered badly with the dreaded Covid 🙁 It’s also been 3 weeks for us, just starting to feel better🤞It’s wonderful to hear that you managed to get away in your caravan, hope you had a wonderful time. Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele x
@@keithandmichele At least we can hopefully have some immunity for the rest of the season! Thanks for great videos, happy touring.x
Oh how sad to have been taken ill on your hols. This covid is very horrible. We were in cornwall at the same time, staying in Hayle. Glad you got home safely. Hope you ate both feeling much better soon. M xxxx
Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for your kind words of support & best wishes. It certainly wasn’t pleasant & we were so disappointed to cut short our first trip to Cornwall. Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele x
Sorry to hear about your Holiday coming to an unfortunate end.
I unfortunately caught Covid in Feb. Lateral flow tests were Negative the whole time. Only PCR Tests, for 4 weeks showed positive, yet i had no signs and symptoms, only finding out i was positive due to a PCR Test, taken to fly abroad due to requirement of the Airline.
I hope you both fully recover soon.
I understand your views on the Campsite you booked, but there are 2 Campsites in my humble view far, far better with proper amazing Cornish sea views.
Keith and Michele, a little advice from a true Cornishman(!!). There is only 1 Caravan/Motorhome Campsite to go to in St Ives with views and is 15 mins walk, if that, into the heart of St Ives, it is called Ayr Holiday Park. If visiting St Ives again, book a serviced pitch at this site, as it is far more usable to get into St Ives daily and at night with far better sea views.
For the best Caravan/Motorhome Campsite in Cornwall with amazing views from every pitch, it can only be Trewethett Farm Caravan Club Site, near Tintagel, with beautiful Boscastle not far away. It is in my top 3 sea view campsites in the UK.
All the best for your next Cornwall adventure.
Hi Pero, Thank you so much for all your recommendations, really helpful for us & everyone else to hear recommended sites from a true Cornishman 🤗 We’ll definitely look into these for future trips to Cornwall, it’s such a beautiful part of the country! Thank you for your kind best wishes & thank you for watching, take care, Keith & Michele.
Sorry to hear bout the illness, COVID definitely hits hard and hangs around. But huge congrats on the impending grandchild 👍
Hi Carafam, Many thanks for your kind congratulations 🤗 Covid is definitely nasty! Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
St Ives looks lovely, the site is too big and busy for me. My sister lived in Looe for over 25 years and I found the best time to visit was in the off season, not so many people around and weather was still fairly good. Fowey is well worth a visit, amongst many other places.
Hi David, Thank you for your recommendations, we definitely want to see more of Cornwall so it’s great to hear of places to visit. Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
,
The prices for holiday accommodation in st ives has gone through the roof so we do a local haven site which is cheaper. Covid can make you feel awful ... did me... but havent had it for two years ... hears hoping not especially on a holiday! Oh dear. We did have to come home early for a dodgy leg but not covid! Thanks for sharing
Hi Kaz baz, Many thanks for watching, Covid really hit us hard & we’re still feeling exhausted all the time! 🙁 Sending all our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Sorry to hear you were not able to fully enjoy your holiday. Thankyou though for showing enough of the site and the recommendation. I have just booked for four nights in September this year. Luckily for us, only about an hours drive.
What were the access roads like into site? We have a 2.3 metre wide motorhome and not a fan of narrow roads!
Hi Robert, Many thanks for watching, we’re delighted you enjoyed our video & have booked a visit. There is quite a narrow approach road, it’s fairly short but the bus travels along it every hour so you’ll be absolutely fine. They’re very used to large vehicles on that little stretch of road. Have a fabulous trip, we’re very jealous! Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Sorry your holiday was wasted by covid. WARNING you can't believe a negative lateral flow test test for all sorts of reasons. Also be aware that you can test positive for up to 90 days after being infected. As a very brief biog I'm a recently retired Pathology Manager and my last 2 -3 years were largely taken up with covid testing.
Hi John, Many thanks for your advice, that’s really good to know. Thank you for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Another extremely well put together video. It's so lovely being able to share your wonderful trips away even though this one was sadly cut short. Huge congratulations on your new addition to your family. Thanks for this wonderful video, made us laugh, nearly cry and so happy for you both. Love as always. Xx
Hi Elaine, Thank you so much for your lovely words & kind best wishes 🤗 Such a disappointing & abrupt end to our holiday 🙁 We’ll certainly be returning! Many thanks for watching & for your continued support, sending all our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele x
Yes covid is horrible. Had it last year. Love St Ives. Went there every year in the 80's and 90's.
Hi Mark, It’s nasty! So strange how it doesn’t effect some people at all! Absolutely loved St Ives, so disappointed to cut the holiday short, we’ll definitely be going back! Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
I'm in falmouth
Hi Mr Cornwall, We will be returning to your beautiful location to explore the area, sadly we didn’t get to do or see anything this time…apart from St Ives. Looking forward to going back! Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.
You have never been to Cornwall!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Keith, Nope, never been to Cornwall & didn’t get to see much of it this time! 😆 Looking forward to more travels there. Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.
