We have stayed in a room in the castle before and also been for several meals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted April 23, 2022 #34053 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Morning all. Strange day yesterday, I was due to work in the office but my manager emailed me Wednesday to say to work from home as there weren’t many desks free. Went to sign on at home and the system was down! Phoned work and it was only down for home workers but was working in the office!! So, of course I had to go in! I wasn’t happy because I had a mad dash up there and I normally get everything together the night before. Luckily for them it happened to be John’s day off so instead of waiting for me to walk for half an hour I was only 10 minutes! We’ve all been given laptops now which is ok but it means I have to lug it up to work! First time I’ve used it at work so it was good to know it worked ok there. (We use two monitors so still have to connect it, was more simple than I thought.) They’re getting rid of my office in August 😱so it’s all a bit uncertain. At first I thought it meant definite home working for me but the way a manager was talking yesterday it seems they want more people to come in 🤷♀️ All very unsettling, wish I could afford to retire! It’s not their fault I don’t drive but I applied there because I knew I could walk. One of their other offices is two buses away so not great.

Guest ccpm Posted April 23, 2022 #34054 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Lovely sunny but chilly day. The tourist boom has really started so no trips to the seaside as I won't get parked so walking to the town centre to see if a crab might be available will be the sum total of my activities today. Low riders will be relaxing on any sofa they like as Brother has finally returned home and they are all walked out so they can have a rest weekend.

I have been up to Truro this morning and the part of the A30 is going to be closed from Tuesday at night for 5 days, so we will be taking the scenic route, there are also roadworks (the other side of the roundabout for the Truro turnoff) where they are making the road dual carriageway so don't know if that is closed too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are coming down to Cornwall in June (Perranporth) got a lovely lodge booked for a week. We always enjoy the drive down the A30, I know there are alot of roadworks at the moment in that area so hope they don't spoil the fun! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted April 23, 2022 #34063 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Purplesea and Peanut - certainly don't envy you the flights, but feel sure it feel well worth it once you are there enjoying a relaxing break from the usual grind. May your checkins and security checks be swift ones! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
