Flying wins every time

Flying wins every time

We had our first family holiday in Cornwall when I was about six years old. It was actually to Newquay, not Looe, though we did visit the latter on a day trip and fell in love with the the place completely. After that, it was destination Looe every year, and poor Newquay was forgotten!
In those early days, it was a real expedition to get down to Cornwall from the north-east of England where we lived. The car was packed with all our camping gear (for the first few years, anyway, until we started splashing out on B&Bs and hotels), suitcases full of clothes and enough books, games and snacks to try and keep me and my older brother amused on the long and boring 11-hour drive. Unsurprisingly, my Mum always refused to do the drive in one go, saying she’d end up either murdering us or killing herself, so we would always stay in a hotel somewhere a little south of Birmingham, get a good night’s sleep, then up in the morning to clamber back in the car that had begun to feel more like a prison cell to two young kids eager to start their holidays!
These days, travelling to the south-west is completely different and so much easier. You can get low cost flights to Exeter from Newcastle Airport, which is only a few miles away from our home. Once the quick flight is over, we pick up our hire car and then it’s less than an hour’s drive to our Looe holiday. SO much better than that long, long drive dwn the country.
