Who would have thought it, just 3 short years (to the day) after the last update and we're back online. All that was required was a total re-write from Java to PHP. Simple! I've added a few updates that make things work a little better along the way. Now you can see what albums the random images on the front page belong to, and even more interesting for us - see what the random comments link to. I think that's all for now folks! Rock and Roll!

Today, we made a last minute change of plan and headed for Trerice. We were originally heading to Truro and nearby Trelissick gardens, but the weather wasn't particularly clement, so we decided to go somewhere different and leave Trelissick for a sunnier day. After a bit of Googling, we settled on Trerice, an Elizabethan manor house and gardens. It didn't take long to get there and it was a little damp, but not really raining. We wandered around the house first, looking at all the antique furnishings and particularly the clocks, as there were many! We went to the cafe for lunch, using our handy giftcard to pay for it. Dani had a tuna jacket potato, and mum and I had a cream tea each. We then went in search of the much-anticipated lawnmower museum, but much to our disappointment, we were unable to find it. However, Dani did stumble upon the second hand bookshop, and - grinning from ear to ear - she came out clutching a new tome. We had a bit of a wander around the garden and were pleased to see a little bit of blue sky appear making for a few nice photos of the Elizabethan Manor.

On the way back to the cottage we stopped by Wheal Coates Tin mine. The first mine is a short walk from the car park, and a little further along, there is another, clinging to the edge of the cliff. The tide was in and there was quite a lot of fog making for quite a dramatic scene. It was a little chilly as there was quite a breeze coming in from the sea so we only stayed about half an hour.

We dropped by Tesco again on the way back to pick up a few bits for tea before heading in for the evening. I added a few more photos to the Cornwall album and whilst at it I tweaked the website code a bit. I didn't like the way that the album preview displayed below a blog was always the same so I made a change so that it now shows the most recent photos.

. . . . at just 40sk (or 80 pence to the rest of us) is Bratislava home of the cheapest 0.5L of beer in Europe? Bratislava has been great, would definately recommend it. Not silly cheap but certainly a lot cheaper for some things. We found a little internet cafe on our travels today and so you can now find the remaining Vienna pictures that were missing from the last post.

      

You will now also be able to find pictures from our time in Slovenia - another fantastic city! Tomorow we travel to Budapest at 7.09am so its going to be a bit of an early one in the morning. Not much other news really . . so will leave it at that . . . oh found a shop called 'troll' so will be emailing the picture to a couple of people from work sometime soon . .right thats really it, think there's someone waiting to get on the internet, cheerio ta ta
