Cornwall.
Thank you so much for your fantastic entries. Lil'L takes the prize for Cornwall because it meets our weekend requirements but also because of the effort of her entry. Here's a sneak peek:
"I got this book out of the library. Yeah I know, the old way but I have been researching Cornwall. And on the internet as well. Now I don't know if it is too far away for a weekend but I was thinking since I am such a fan of Rick Stein he has a seafood restaurant down at Padstow. Apparently you take your money with you but it is very famous. I would just love his autograph. Maybe some photos, teaspoon or tea towel!".
What a review!
Shortlisted entries included:
- Norway
- An airport
- Copenhagen and southern Sweden
- Portugal
- La Rochelle, France
- Wallan, Australia
However, the door prize must go to Manda. I only just stumbled across her late entry, but it has to be read to be believed:
"Look in the british version of melways or UBD, and find the dirtiest name and go there, and when you're there keep saying it everytime you go anywhere there. ie. let's go to the Dickspank cafe, after that we'll go to the Dickspank bank to deposit some money in Amanda's bank account for giving us the best weekend away!!! (I wish there really was a place called Dickspank)"
p.s. Manda - there is a suburb in London called 'Cockfosters'. Would this cut it?
