Stay Cationing in Looe

Stay Cationing in Looe

It is all the rage this year, staying at home for your holiday. What counts as a ’stay-cation’. It is complicated, for some it means not flying abroad and having a holiday in the UK. For others on a tighter budget a staycation means staying in their own home and enjoying the tourist and holiday making features of the place that they already live. If you have already paid your Caravan insurance and are looking for a great middle ground, think about Looe as an alternative.There are a number of camping and caravan sites in Looe in easy reach of both the centre of town and the beautiful Cornish coast. The trick to a stay cation is to do things that don’t cost any money at all. If you are in camping or in a caravan, it is a great opportunity to explore the wonders of out door gourmet cookery. Looe is a fishing village, and there is no better way to get to the heart of it then by visiting the local fish market and auction, buying some of the catch that is just from the sea and taking it home to your camp site to cook over an outdoor fire. It is a great way to explore a town and get to know the locals hunting for authentic Cornish recipes and getting local ingredients. Depending on the season, you can also explore the joys of foraging for wild food. With the help of a guide, there is no greater way to explore nature on the cheap.

Don’t Leave Home Without It!

Don’t Leave Home Without It!

It’s time to go on holiday and at the top of your list should be a sense of fun and excitement. But amidst all that find a little time to do some pre-holiday planning so that you can enjoy it to the max. Here’s a few things that are on my holiday checklist.
Passport and papers Depending on where you are going there may be some legal or other official paperwork that you need to take with you. Apart from the obvious passport, visas and tickets, you may also need to write down booking numbers of hotels as proof of payment.
Clothes If you’re anything like me you’ll find packing clothes a real chore. But take the time to have a think about what the weather conditions might be like where you are going. Can you get away with just a bathing suit and a couple of t-shirts? Even if you are going somewhere tropical it may be prone to sudden downpours so a light rain jacket may be a good idea. If you are going somewhere more exotic than your home, you many even want to leave a little space in your bag so that you can buy clothes at your destination. Buying “local”clothing can be part of the fun of being away. On a recent trip to Malaysia I discovered the wonderful world of fishermans pants!
Money There are many things that you can forget but don’t forget your travel money. These days you have all sorts of options including travellers cheques, pre pay currency cards, credit and debit cards, and good old fashioned notes and coins. Decide which one is best for you and find out if it’s easy to access money at your destination. If you are going somewhere remote remember to take enough travel money with you or you may have a very hungry holiday.

Last but not least, remember to take a sense of fun and adventure with you, and leave your everyday stresses at home.

Happy Holidays!

Australia

Australia

Ive heard stories that seem unreal on paper about Australia, but only after I had visited it recently did I realize that their stories are true. Although people are led to believe on TV, on Magazines, on radio or by word of mouth that America and Europe is the capital of the world. But I counter that argument. I’ve gone to both those places and all I see is trouble around every corner, tall buildings with taller problems, poverty, hate and more problems. However in countries like Australia, there is a more grounded approach to what a person must achieve success in life.
Taking Canberra as an example, the city could be considered as one of the most happiest cities in the world. They are well engaged in sports, doctors instead of handing out pills for weight reducing or suggesting liposuction hand out sport activities to their patients.
The government takes care of it people providing an apt environment of enjoyment as well as a peaceful atmosphere that promotes working conditions and studying conditions to both the parents as well as the students. The cost of land and essential products are less they understand that things like these are dire essentials of existence, premiums on things like land and water and food are taboo for them taking away the right for someone to live is considered bad. Pushing for a stability between living life as well as pursuing modernization is well balanced in this country. Besides having the worlds best worldwide sim card , the country pursues for happiness, this should be considered as template country.

The Blue Man Of Looe

The Blue Man Of Looe

Looe is one of those places that you can just go on exploring. It’s not just the array of local sights and beautiful coast walks that attract people to Looe. The history and in particular ghost sightings have fascinated the local inhabitants and travellers alike.

There is a story originally recounted by local author Elizabeth Shapcott in 1928. It tells of a dressmaker who came to Looe in the 1800s and was hired to work for a couple for a few days and nights. The dressmaker was an old woman and decided that the best place to work during the day was on top of a nearby hill above the town. Whilst she was working she began to get a strange feeling that she was being watched. At one point she was certain that there was someone standing right behind her, but when she turned no one was there.

Later that night as she was in bed the old lady woke up with a start even though there was no sound coming from her room or the house. She looked around the room until she saw in the corner a faint blue light getting brighter and brighter. Eventually it merged into the shape of a tall aristocratic looking man with grey hair. He slowly crossed the room pass her bed and disappeared through the wall beside the old lady.

You can imagine the poor old lady’s reaction to this and needless to say she didn’t stick around the next day to find out exactly what had happened.

So come on down to Looe! We’re not just a scenic day out. We too also have a history and spooky tales to frighten even the bravest man. If you live in the city you can get cheap London Flights down to the south west and from there it’s just a quick drive to Looe and the possibility of your own encounter with our chilling history…
