Happy Festive time to you all. If you are anything like us you will be full to the bream right now. I made a Christmas cake and I am the only one who eats it in this house so each day I have to have my one slice. It might be available to guests checking in come April at this rate! With two young children it has been a very magical time for us. Excitement levels have been high as the girls awaited Father Christmas. Thankfully he delivered the requested gifts. Jessica asked for a ‘big girls bike, racing cars and roller skates’ and Bethany hoped for, in her own words a ‘double pushchair with wheels, two dollies and a yo-yo’.

So instead it is being turn into something quite special…details will follow in due course, but lets just say I am very excited about working with a team of great people to offer guests a nice new area.
It is not all work and no play for us. At this time of year we spend some much needed time together as a family. So much so we have our ‘Friday Lunch Club’. It is a bit of a fun where once a week, usually Friday we go and sample different Cornish food options. This week we have had the pleasure of visiting the newly opened
at the Cornucopia, St Austell Business Park – where Par Market World is. It is a different offering from the well established and much loved Cornish family brand of Sam’s.

omless cups of coffee were a nice touch meaning we will be returning very soon to sample more of the menu. I really like the healthy menu, a very clever touch for those of us watching our waist lines from 1st January,
