fell and we ate barbecued pilchards, spare ribs and kebabs,<br />

served <strong>with</strong> salad, all delicious, as <strong>the</strong>y are expert cooks. Julie<br />

had gone to stay <strong>with</strong> her mo<strong>the</strong>r and sister on Friday night<br />

prior to <strong>the</strong> family, her mo<strong>the</strong>r, stepfa<strong>the</strong>r and her sister <strong>with</strong><br />

two children travell<strong>in</strong>g between <strong>the</strong> ungodly hours of 2am and<br />

9.30am to <strong>the</strong>ir log cab<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> Penzance <strong>in</strong> Cornwall, 200 miles<br />
