Hello everybody, happy Monday. Welcome to Life with Nat, I hope you're all doing well and you've had a lovely weekend. I'm actually recording this Sunday afternoon, it's about

two o'clock. You may hear the sweet hum of the jet washer. That's right, me and Mark have been out in the garden, I've swept up, he did the leaf blowing, I've got rid of everything, we've put all the furniture on the grass and he's now cleaning it all whilst I pop on and do this intro. So sorry if there is a small hum of the jet washer, there's nothing I can do about it because I need to do this now. Congratulations to everybody who has run the marathon or whilst I'm recording this would still be running the marathon. My Dominic, my nephew has finished. I've been following him on the tracker, on the app and he's done. It is amazing. He's done it in sub four and I am so proud of him. I've been so nervous and he's all I've thought about all morning. I just keep checking my phone,

checking the app, checking the app. Where is he? It's bloody brilliant that thing. You feel like you're with him. I did get a bit jealous, a little bit envious that I wasn't running myself. And I would have gone down and I would have cheered him on, but logistically, Eliza's got play rehearsals, I had to drop her off, we've got loads to do at home, we're really busy at work, anyway, blah blah blah blah blah. But it's fine, he's got loads of family, Auntie Eliniel's bells is down there, and Elisa, his wife, Amelia, Amelia his daughter he's got his in-laws down there I believe so hopefully fingers crossed I'll be able to see him tonight I'm hoping he'll get home not be too whacked huh as if that's gonna happen but not feel like

he wants to just go home and not be with anyone and I hopefully we can get around there to give him a cuddle and see how it went. I'll try and record something as well but he might not be in the mood. Honestly I think all my family now when I turn up they think oh god here she comes she got her microphones. Sometimes I have to leave them you know where they should be you know. Anyway I would like to talk to him about it because can I just thank all of our listeners who not only have donated to Dominic's page which he was running for shelter and he's done really really well, he reached his target, I had some people today screenshot the tracker app, they've been tracking in with me. So that was amazing, so thank you very much for the support and it does

make you really emotional. You just can't help it because it's such an extraordinary thing to do. 0.1 people, I believe. That's the percentage of people that do it throughout the world. So it was absolutely brilliant. But would I do it again?

I think I might, you know. I think I might have the bug. Let's see what happens. I went for my first jog last week and I ran for eight minutes at a jogging pace, very slow, then I had a little walk, then I had a little jog, but for someone who hasn't run for probably over a year, that's not bad going, a four or eight minutes running, so I need to just keep back at it and get out there and do what I can. Even if it's 20 minutes, half hour,

I'd be happy at the moment because I've been so sort of sluggish and not doing anything. So that is good. Today's episode is all about our Cornish holiday. We did lots of recordings whilst we were away and Emma has worked her amazing magic and put them all together and I thought you would enjoy a little peek into our holiday. A little bit fly on the wall. I hope you really enjoy it. You didn't hear from the girls last week. Obviously we had our first anniversary. I want to thank you all for all of your amazing messages, so many. I could do another episode just on the admin from that but I won't. But thank you for

listening and you all loved the episode when we were all together we had the best time we had a really nice evening we had a lovely meal afterwards I got wound up but we'll save that for the next Nats and Aces honestly people do like to take the piss but we had a lovely time and you all really really enjoyed it so yeah what can I say blown awayown away as always. Anyway, enjoy today's Epp. If you've got anything to say about it, 07788 2019.

And yeah, I'm gonna go and enjoy a bit of sunshine and clear up a few more leaves. Have a brilliant week. It's gonna be a sculpture. Enjoy. That breakfast was nice. Thank you for that. It's quite a lot of work doing a fry up.

A fry up. It's almost like a roast dinner. It's all the timing. Everything back timed. I understand what you mean. Any dish that you cook is about timing, but I wouldn't say it's the same as a roast dinner. No, it's not the same. in principle the timing of thing you know the sausage the sausage is like your roast meat isn't it?

Yeah you've got to get that in, it takes about half an hour. Half an hour so everything's timed to that yeah. Well yeah. Apparently I've ruined the hash browns according to Eliza. They weren't overly cooked. What do you think Joan? Um I didn't really like the hashbrowns because I don't really like hashbrowns anyways but I think they're nice. What was your favourite bit?

I liked the bacon. You like bacon don't you? I don't think I cooked it very well for you. No? What did you like? Everything could have had another 10 minutes. Oh great okay. No your eggs were lovely. I was trying not to burn it. You always do a great egg. Okay. As always when on holiday we always have something going on. I know. A bit of broken arm or an ear ache. Weather's nice today though isn't it in Cornwall? It's beautiful. It's absolutely stunning out there Is it raining all day? Yeah, 95% chance all day a classic British holiday. I suppose the problem being Last week it was like the French Riviera all week.

Don't we know about it? And don't we know? I mean, why do people feel the need to tell us how brilliant the weather was last week? Because I know that, because it was lovely where we live. It's a shame you've come down this week, because last week week well actually it's not a shame we had a couple of lovely days it's raining today it's meant to be nice tomorrow and whenever we book Cornwall and Easter we're not coming for the weather let's be honest no it's a bonus but look at the view no I know and I like it when

you have it all warm inside you know and you're looking out the window and you can see the waves crashing into the bay down there. It's beautiful. I don't mind it raining and I mean that. I could not care less, especially on a day like today where we've decided to just be in the house. Yeah. You've done breakfast. Play some games. We're going to play our Monopoly.

Got a lovely meal later, haven't we? We are going to the pig in Harlan Bay. I've done well with the restaurants this week, aren't we? We are going to The Pig in Harlan Bay. I've done well with the restaurants this week, haven't I? Yeah, you have. I thought you should explain a bit more about that and how that all came about. Well usually I am really organised and I book lots of restaurants way in advance because everything gets booked up. And on the way down on Saturday morning, I realized I'd not booked a thing.

So I thought, I know what I'll do. I've got a new pal on Instagram. Who is? Head chef at Cut 45, Mayfair, which is an amazing, probably the best steak restaurant in London. And his name's Elliot Grover, lovely guy. Anyway, he followed me the other day, it doesn't matter. He followed me because I did a baking thing with lovely Juliet Sear, who's gorgeous.

Anyway, I thought I'm gonna be really cheeky and I'm gonna ask Juliet, who I'd been with the week before, and drop a message to Elliot and just say, you don't know any nice places do you down here? And he was like, I'm from down there. I can phone this one. I'll do this. I'll do that. And he was lovely. This is actually turning into a story I'm telling. Why? Because if you'd said to me, I mean, I mean, admittedly, I wouldn't have even started it by now. Yeah. Anyway, thank you to those two people who I barely know. People are kind, you know. There are a lot of kind people out there.

Indeed. But, excitingly, it equates to... We are going to lunch tomorrow at Nathan Outlaw's. Right. Fish restaurant. Yeah. He's a Michelin star chef, Cornish down here. The kids are gonna love it. It's right up their street.

Bit of Michelin star cuisine. No. Not a chip or a chicken nugget in sight. Well they can just sit and have a drink then. Can have an apple juice while we eat. What and then what? Can't do everything for the children all the time. I know but we are on holiday.

Oh I know. They can have a nice meal in the evening. And where did we go on, what night was it? Monday. No, Sunday. Sunday, Saturday. Saturday night. Yeah, we went to Padstow.

We went to Rickstein's Cafe. That was nice. Really nice. Lovely, yeah, that was. Really nice. Then we did the Cornish Arms on Sunday, which was nice. And then, what did we do yesterday? It all sort of rolls into one, doesn't it, which is the nice thing about this.

Yes, lovely. Went to the Beach Hut last night. Oh, we did. And we're going there on Good Friday as well. Yep. Very pleasant. Just be nice if the sun popped out that's all. Yeah. It ain't popping out today.

No. I can assure you. No. It is very atmospheric though. I'm just gonna see if there's any atmosphere we can hear out here, hang on. Can you hear this? Don't soak the microphone. Me and Auntie Linn did that on our walking one. Hang on can we hear? Can hear the raindrops raindrops pitter-pattering on the decking out here.

How exciting for everyone at home. It is an amazing view though. It is, it's brilliant. You can see Newquay in the distance. How do you feel today? What do you mean how do I feel? In terms of switching off from home. I feel very relaxed. It's a beautiful bit of scenery to look at outside the window the kids are worryingly quiet I'm not sure what's happened there Joni's just walked off coughing I think she's just gone downstairs I think Eliza's watching something on her iPad yeah and once we've done this for a little while we can all start on that

game of Monopoly can't we? Well it's the tradition isn't it, the game of Monopoly which just stays out. Yes lovely. Which isn't permitted at home is it? It could be permitted but none of us ever sit down for long enough. And it also looks... In fact you more than anyone. It does seem to be the case that as per the usual tradition the person who's currently mopping up most of the things on the board is Joni yeah it's interesting that she's got a real knack for it hasn't she she's got eight tower blocks and two pubs already it's the only falls and horses edition by the way in case you're wondering what the tower blocks are

about it's really good it's good right we need to get Joni yeah get Eliza and start our game we'll start a bit of Monopoly all right six hundred and twenty pounds really I'll offer you 700. Where did you move me to? Oh, you are saying that. Right. I've got that one. And what are these two doing? I said can I have, what's the one on our hands? Both of the red ones. Can I have time on our hands? 620.

Actually I'm going to end my game. 650. And Mummy's just said can she buy Danger UXD for... So this is like dodgy dealings going on in amongst the games. No! You bought a red when I already had it. That's not shit. Yes it is!

That was the first thing I bought. red when I already had it. That's not shit. Yes it is. You did. That was the first thing I bought. Yeah it was. Thank you. It was. And how are you doing over here? What do you own? You've got £650 there.

Are you doing the pod? Yeah, we're just doing a little recording of the... Well I've got touch of a grass, I've got one blue. They're a lot of pounds. They're the best ones. I've got a whole set of oranges, who wants to be in the exchange relations and dates. I've got a set of browns, I've got tea for free, milk of Pekko and I'm building up my light blues.

I can't understand what she's saying. And how much money do you think you've got there? Well I already counted it, that's one thousand, have a five hundred, one thousand and five hundred, some little bits. Right, and how much money have I got? I gave you some mummy, I was really generous. You were generous, yeah, but how much money have I got here? What's that, thirty? Err, one hundred and fifty.

Forty. Maybe about two hundred? I've got two hundred. Two hundred and errr. Are you breasting? What's that do? Jenny you've got, you've got, Mummy's in jail, so.

Excuse me, you can't offer me anything, you're Joni, you've got... My mum is in jail, so... You've got... Excuse me, you can't offer me anything, you're in jail. You can't do anything. What an L. What an L for you. Can I buy it, please? No, because I'm in jail, I can't do any transactions.

Eliza, how do you feel about playing Monopoly at midday on a weekday with your family? I feel that I should still be in bed, sleeping. But we are on holiday. And how do you feel about being on holiday playing Monopoly whilst it's raining outside? Lovely. We do it every year. What do you think, Jonah? I made everyone play this so I'm happy about playing it. Is it nice having a bit of family time with us? No, I just like the game.

Oh, so it could be anyone. It could be anyone playing Monopoly with you right now. But we're good at it. Well, daddy's not. Daddy's not. You're the only good one that's why. Alright what are we doing after this game of Monopoly then? We're just going to play swimming. We're going to play swimming.

We're going to go swimming for an hour. Then we're going to play Cluedo. This will be Mummy's nightmare now, going swimming. Because Mummy hasn't been swimming on the holiday yet. I've got a very stiff neck. I'm hoping it will help me if I have a little swim. What's that from then? Little swim water? The pillows. It's a different bed, it's killed my back,

absolutely ruined it. Welcome to the world of living with Natalie Cassidy. This is all we get, grinding in my own. No, I'm joking. There's a lot more wonders to you. And what are we doing for dinner later? We're going to the pig. Yeah, we're just going to eat lots of bacon and pig.

All on the table. Joanie, can't say that. This should come with a warning, shouldn't it? For anyone that doesn't eat meat. No, we're not actually. Joanie the carnival. I was having a little dose really. I know but that was such a nice meal. Yeah which is why I'm having a dose. Well that was lovely that. The pork crackling to start was absolutely insane.

Yeah. You're not a fan of that sort of thing are you darling? I'm not actually. That's why you're so svelte. Oh yeah. You are? Yeah the four pints of beer that I had during the meal helped me be svelte. No I know but you're not a fat lover are you?

It's good. What was the favourite bit of your meal, Joanie? Erm, the steak. What did you have for dinner? A lump steak. And did you have a nice dessert? Yep. What's that clicking noise that I can hear, Joan?

They're on my control. Are you all tired out? I just want to watch something. I know you're feeling, Joan. What do you want to do then? Well, I'd like to carry on our game of Monopoly. Once I get a second wind I was just having a little rest. No you've definitely got a second wind.

It's half past nine. Early. So it's early doors. Yeah. It's been a lovely meal. It's quite windy outside. The weather coming home in the taxi felt like a November evening. Apart from the fact it was light still. What, coming home? What are you talking about? It was lightish. We got home 10 minutes ago. No we didn't. It was pitch black.

It is now. Eh? He's had too many beers. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Oh you can hear that wind though can't you? Oh he's outside again. It's like torrential. He's doing the Atmos. You can hear the rain and the wind.

I'm not surprised, like I said it's like a November's evening. I know but you can see all those palm trees you get in Cornwall, rattling away down there. The rain pitter pattering on the window. He said it again. That's the second time he said pitter pattering. You can hear the waves crashing along the shoreline there. I hope you're having a lovely afternoon. Oh yeah, you can watch not going out yet.

It's good sitcom that, Joanie. That's very tame compared to Friday night dinner. Nice camera work. No, it's just funny. You'll like it, it's fun. Have you told her to put that on? No. I know Daddy's done it.

You know I filmed that. I know. Well, only recently, last couple of series. So what do you think? It's nice isn't it? This will be coming out next Thursday once Easter's all done. I hope you've all had a lovely Easter. I can't wait for a nice egg.

What Easter egg have you got me? Pardon? What Easter egg have you got me? Pardon? What Easter egg have you got me? Would you like to know? No. No, no, no, no, no. Actually, if you've got me one, no. Did you get me one? One what? Got me a chocolate egg. Easter egg. You don't like chocolate? I do actually, because you keep on saying that and it's really annoying. Mummy, did you get me a chocolate egg? I just want to know.

You don't need to tell me which one you got me. I want it to be... I might have, I might have. Okay, that helps. Doesn't really help actually. Do you think I could share it with you? No. Is the door open? No, it's just very windy. We're up on a hill, right by the sea, and it's a very windy evening. I don't think we're by the hill. Well, actually we're on the hill but not on the grass. It's turning into one of those holidays where all you do is eat and drink and you can't do anything else.

No Laura got me an Easter egg. Did Laura get me an Easter egg? Can we just tell you which one it is? It was sort of a spoiler surprise. Yeah but it's not really a big one it's just a little. Don't tell me. Yeah but it's not an Easter egg. Is it a Kinder egg? No it's just it's not an Easter egg. It's literally just little. Don't spoil the surprise. I'm turning it. Please.

Your chocolate brownie was nice. You let me have a bit of earlier. Yeah. Mommy was going to say something about what this is turning into. I was just going to say that all it's turning into is eating and drinking and sleeping. It feels like Christmas. It's like those days in between Christmas and New Year. It's like what day is it, what are we doing now? I hope it brightens up a little bit because I'd like to have a little walk, do a few things. On the Sunday we had a lovely little walk along

the beach me and Eliza, a little jog. Makes you feel so lovely. Well, let's go for a jog in the morning. Just because it's raining doesn't mean you can't do that. I really want to finish this with this. It did this morning. We can stop this. Be helpful. Stop what?

Whatever you're doing now, this. I just want to watch the Ramses. All right. I love the fact that you're watching Tilly Ramsey. I love that programme. For anybody who hasn't watched it, Matilda and the Ramsey Bunch on BBC iPlayer is one of the best reality shows of a family you'll see. And I bet no one even knows about it, but it's Gordon Ramsey's family. And it shows all his house, all inside where he lives in Cornwall, LA.

Not being nosy, I mean, it's a great show for Matilda, but it's brilliant to see where Gordon Ramsay brings his kids up. I reckon anyone who listens to your podcast under the age of 13 possibly does know about it. But anyone older, probably not. Well, little tip for you if you like Gordon Ramsay. Have a little look at Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch because it's a programme and it shows what a lovely daddy is.

It's really good fun. But it's mostly about Matilda because there's Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch. Absolutely and that's what I love the most, that he's just part of the Ramsay Bunch. Absolutely and that's what I love the most that he's just part of the Ramsey Bunch. Yeah it's Gordon Ramsey. It's not the Gordon Ramsey show is it? He's got enough shows. Joni would you do Joni and the Cassidy Humphrey's B. No way. Why? I would do the Joni and the kids and Joni's kids bunch not the Joni and the Cassidy bunch. Oh. Who's that there on the television? Did you see that? Go down. Who's that? I've already looked at that actually and I'm reading it. What is it? Eugene. Is that Mummy on the television? Yeah, I've seen it.

How do you feel about that, seeing Mummy on the TV just casually? Do I have to talk about this? We don't have to. No, we're just interested in what you thought. That's not. OK. That's how Jude, isn't it?

Yeah. I would like to have a little look at this week's EastEnders, though. Yeah. I know we're away. Mummy, is that scary? What's that do- Yes, don't ever watch that. OK. Well, I think we should play Monopoly.

Yes, there's one thing we need to do. And I do hope- Monopoly! I do hope this weather cheers up to Mellow. I'm sure it will do. So, who's going gonna be tasked with going down to get Eliza she's just on the phone to her friends at the moment which is fine because she's not been on the phone all day should I go and try I'd give her 10

minutes I'm sorry I'll just give her a shout down luck so the thing is obviously Eliza wants to talk to her friends, but... Eliza? Eliza? Washing machine going and the dryer there. Eliza? Yeah? Do you want to come and play some Monopoly?

What are you doing? Do you want to play Monopoly? Why have you got headphones on when they're not even plugged into a hearing aid? Me and Mum are doing a podcast. But we're going to stop the podcast now. OK. We just thought you might want to do a bit of Monopoly. Are you busy? Well, I'm on the phone to Esther. Oh, hello Esther. Hello.

You alright? I'm good, thank you. You're on the podcast. Say hello. Monopoly. Any danger of a bit of monopoly? What? Guess what she said? What did she say? Did she say? She said 10 minutes. Oh my God. Right, let's go upstairs.

I think Mummy needs to... What was the verdict? 10 minutes. Told you. Yeah, 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes.

10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. I think Mummy needs to... What was the verdict? Ten minutes.

Told you! Yeah. Asta was quite excited that we were recording something for the podcast though. Oh was she? Yeah. That's nice. That's nice. Probably your youngest listener by the sounds of things. Yep. No, one of Eliza's school friends I think listens to it.

Really? I just heard that. Not, well Asta, that's what I was just saying. I don't think Asta is a... Yeah, not Asta. No, not Asta. Full time listener I know. Right then.

Will I play? Well let's see what the rest of the week brings. Yes, let's do that. That's a nice idea. What are you doing Joni? Nothing. What, are you making faces behind mummy's back? Oh no.

I finally can watch the Ramsey Bunch. Of course you can watch the Ramsey Bunch. Wednesday morning. The sun is shining everybody. It's absolutely beautiful. It's amazing how the weather can change down here from being absolutely awful yesterday to stunning today. Mark's just taken the kids swimming, not in the sea, but he's taken them out for an hour

and I'm having a cup of tea and I'm looking out of the window and I thought I'll just pop a mic on and just have a little chat with you. Family holidays for me are the most special thing and I think the biggest thing about it is as a four you're never quite together at home, even if you want to be. Be that Mark busy with stuff or me running around the house doing stuff. Here you're sort of trapped in this sort of oasis where you can't do anything but be with the children and enjoy yourselves. And I think that's what's the most special.

Eliza coming up to 15, you know, having the time with her that we're having here, playing board games and just spending proper time together is something that I absolutely cherish and just the four of us being together all day long and going what we're doing now. Today we're going to lunch actually at Nathan Outlaw's place, the fish place that I told you about in an earlier segment which I'm really looking forward to. I might even take a mic with me because if I can get into the kitchen and talk to the chefs that might be interesting but I'll see, can't promise. But yeah we're gonna go for some lunch we're gonna go to Padstow, we're gonna have a wander around, do some shopping

and just enjoy this incredibly sunny day which has been quite rare this week not gonna lie so yeah I'm gonna go and have a little bit of P&Q just before they get back wasn't yesterday nice weather wise weather wise yep and just the day it all rolls into one it does but poor Isaac we've not been to before oh no I thought I did I actually forgot we went there it was so beautiful wasn't it hmm because it's famous isn't it for that Doc Martin program which I've never seen yeah quite funny watching all the people gather outside someone's home on their tour yeah it's a little note in the window that says please respect our

privacy people sat on their wall doing photos that must be a nightmare mustn't it it's so It's absolutely beautiful Port Isaac. The little back streets. All the little streets. I felt almost like I was in a little European sort of, you know, like Valletta or Valencia or Tuscan, you know, like a little Italian hideaway. Bit of a nightmare to drive around. I don't think we should have driven where we should have.

No. I don't think we were meant to drive there. That is mad, you know. You hear these stories but it is true. You pop on a sat nav and you just do what it says. Without really looking at the logistics of it. Well, to be fair, yeah. I think anyone who knows what they're doing

wouldn't drive down to the harbour. But there weren't a lot of other cars driving through I noticed. It was the odd van actually. People going about their business. But if you do visit, park at the top of a hill and walk down. Which is what we did eventually we went to Nathan Outlaw's fish kitchen and it was really nice I'm not sure what I was

expecting but it's almost like somebody's living room isn't it but it was really... I don't know how to'd describe it as somebody's living room. Just very intimate. I mean how many tables were in there? Six. So very intimate. That's what I mean by living room. You know what I mean?

Yeah, it was one of the oldest buildings in Port Isaac. And Becky looked after us, who was absolutely amazing. Yep. And we had, I had a crispy oyster with mayo. Well I don't even eat sea fruit. You did really well yesterday. I ate everything, apart from the squid. You had an anchovy?

I did, yeah. I don't normally eat anything like that. You enjoyed the red mullet and the monkfish, didn't you? Yeah. You eat that? Yeah, I did. I mean usually for me, you know, I like a fish finger or a bit of haddock or cod or something. I'm not really a... I know but it's lovely to try things. So that was really nice. The dessert was unbelievable wasn't it?

One of the best desserts I've ever had. It was really good. What was it?? It was a mango. It was like a cream Panna cotta well, it's kind of like Panna Cotta And with a crumble on the top. Oh, but the crumble is so good little segments of mango and some pomegranate Is it pome pome granite pome? Pardon? I can't speak. What's it called pomegranate? Pome pome granite? I can't say that. Have you had a drink already today? No. Yes you have. I've had a drizzle of Prosecco.

The Prosecco is hilarious, this new sort of friend love. I love the Prosecco. It's so funny. So anyway we did that and then we had little ones didn't we? We went to Padstow where Joni got her braid that she'd asked for 1700 times so she was quite pleased with that and yeah we just had a really nice day didn't we? It was good. Now we're sat overlooking Watergate Bay on our balcony. You can see the cliffs and the sea. Went for a lovely walk this morning. Yeah well you say a lovely walk. No I'm lying. It had all the

makings of a lovely walk had it not been for the two children being with us. One of which desperate to go swimming. So all we got was can I go to the pole? Can we go to the pole and we go to the pole the whole way to the pole and the other one just moaning continually moaning but once you went swimming actually me and Eliza went to the coffee place how far up that hill did you get? quite far actually we went over it did you get as far as you can see now? Yeah, yeah we did. We sort of turned back there-ish. Right. We came back, dropped the coats with you, as it was quite warm wasn't it? Really warm actually. And then there's a little coffee hut which we like to go to. It's really good coffee. But it is quite relaxed I found. So Eliza got her chocolate milkshake, Oreo milkshake, whatever it was. And I was waiting for my iced oat latte.

By the time I got my iced oat latte, Eliza had finished her milkshake. So the point of having a drink together and a walk had sort of gone out the window. And 23 minutes later, it's quite a long, I know it's relaxed down here, but it's quite a long time to wait. But as we were waiting there by the wall I was watching all

the families yeah up and down to the bay herds of dogs and people mostly parents looking quite stressed and children demanding things on their walk down to the bay I want to go bodyboarding! I want an ice cream! I'm hungry! I don't want to walk the dog! And what I realised in those 23 minutes of sat watching and observing... Very precise. Did you have a stock watch or something? No, I just knew the time. Right. just knew the time. By observing this it made me realize that we're all the same

aren't we? When you've got children and you're on holiday it's never quite perfect. Never quite how you want it is it? I mean we've resigned ourselves today you've gone swimming with Joi which is lovely of you. She don't need to do that on your own but it is handy. Then I've given her a bath. The baths run for when she comes back. The oven's on for her chips to be ready. It's unbelievable how they get treated. I feel like a hairdresser this week. All I've done is sit and comb and blow dry her hair every day. I've done more laundry than I would have done if I was at home.

Lovely you've kept on top of that though. It's very relaxing though I mean I don't really want to move now. What we gonna do this afternoon? Spot of crazy golf maybe? How's the weather looking? I haven't looked. I mean it looks lovely at the moment. There's a few black clouds coming in. Mmm hmm. So there were earlier. It's definitely better weather than two days ago where it was absolutely torrential rain.

It looks like the same again tomorrow and Saturday. Well it's not a bad thing isn't it? Well. It's alright. We say that. It adds atmosphere but we definitely need to make the most of today be outside. Yeah I think we should play crazy golf. Should we go down to the mill that we like? The um... Truviburn Mill. Yeah. The vineyard. I could yeah I need to get

some dessert wine. We could have a little plate of cheese and meat. Yep. Although what time's dinner? I want to say 7.15. Okay that's only 10 minutes away isn't it? Yeah. Yeah it'd be nice to have a little drive somewhere and wander about outside. That'd be lovely. Before I thought we could just do this, I hope everybody had a lovely Easter. Obviously now Easter is over and we're all back to normal but we had a really lovely message, a funny message from Tim, one of our long-time listeners and friends of yours. Good evening, just trying to do a voice note about how great my weekend was and then straight back into the shit on Monday. The shit never really disappears in the coach industry. You're either walking in it or swimming in it. It never disappears. Anyway I'm on episode 107 and it made me chuckle about the cost of Easter eggs.

When did you talk about that? Sorry. On that's an ECS we were talking about. Because the Easter eggs have got smaller. Yes. And they're extortionately expensive. Are they? It's ridiculous. See, people don't like chocolate. I don't know what they cost. No. I never buy you one. I did buy you one once. Do you remember I got you a dark chocolate Easter egg? You did. And you never ate it. I ate it. Yes. It's a complete waste of time buying you chocolate. That's just not a thing for me It's a shame. I don't do some sort of savory egg filled with crisps in it Like made of crisp or maybe a fix or Jacob's cracker like a wafer of some kind cracker what an actual cracker egg

Like a cracker egg then you tap into it and all the crisps come out like a piñata? yes but made of crisp? yes potato, massive great potato made thing yes right yeah I don't think that would catch on. I think the chocolate idea works. Mmm. Sorry, I interrupted Tim's message. It's alright. Episode 107 made me chuckle about the cost of Easter eggs.

Hard to believe you have to sell a kidney now to pay for one. I've found one for £27 and can't remember what it was as I nearly collapsed with shock. I might actually email the company and ask how many shares I would get for the flimsy chocolate egg they want me to buy. But that's not like a Dairy Buttons one or something like that is it? That's a specifically... Well I don't know, he goes on to talk about the gorgeous chocolate bunnies with the red collar and bell. How fucking much? Nationwide won't give me a good mortgage rate for those bastards at a goal he's really angry about it a

lot of swearing in this team anyway he's having some lamb he said he had some lamb for Easter he's realized the lamb was cheaper than the egg and he said best wishes to the family mr. sexy voice Voice. So thanks for that Timbo. We've also had a really nice message here from Tom. Lovely Tom from Chesent. He's on holiday in Turkey at the moment and I think someone has showed us these before but look at these individual Vionetta ice creams darling. Oh yeah. They're cute aren't they? They're good. Well you've had a Vnetta here haven't you? You've been smashing into that in the evening. Well that was a request from Eliza. No sorry Joni asked for it when we went shopping.

First day I went and got some bits and pieces and picked up a viennetta. Has it gone now? No Eliza had quite a large helping last night, I think there's still some. So our shopping for this holiday has consisted really of Prosecco's. Yep. Tonics. Ice cream. Ice cream, gin, water, lots of water. Lots of sparkling water and still water.

Some, a pack of hash browns. What about the place we went to? Eliza! Come here a minute. Let's get Eliza to tell the story of the shop, the honesty shop. Oh yeah, that's nice. Oh, those sausages were unbelievably good.

Just quickly, come here darling. I've just remembered, tell the story quickly of the honesty shop, the farm shop that you found. So where were we? Where were we first of all? Oh we were in the Cornish Arms. Yes. We were at the pub for lunch. Yeah. And daddy was like oh do you remember that farm shop we went to? I was trying to have a look and find it so I've got on my phone I've had a look and it's popped up it was like Penzance farm shop and I was like oh yeah so can it the pictures I thought oh yeah that looks really familiar. It wasn't Penzance. Yeah it was. Penrose. No not the original one. really familiar. It was a PenSense. It was. Penrose. No not the

original one. Apologies. It was like called PenSense. Right. Farm shop or something and we got in the car I put the Google Maps on we're driving down and we've turned in and we've just seen this barn. It wasn't a barn, was it? It wasn't a barn, it was a shed. I mean, it was really cute when we went in, but we were expecting this massive farm shop. Because you kept saying,

oh, the reviews look amazing. This farm shop looks amazing. And we got there, it was smaller than Mark's workshop and no one was in it! And you had to, it was called the honesty shop so it was really cool! Honestly, the stuff in the fridge, it... Daddy loved the sausages. The stuff in the fridges, there were cuts of meat in there that would have been 40, 50, 60 quid and they just leave it all there and you pay yourself.

So you put it all in the till, we put it all in the till ourselves and Joanie quite enjoyed it, she was typing everything up and clicking on it. What a business! Really clever, really clever. But great find from me. Great find from you. And then we went to the other farm shop, didn't we, babe? Yeah, and Joni picked up like 5,000 things

and was holding it. But yeah. You all right? You having a nice time? Yeah. We were just saying that we've had a lovely time so far. You were a bit miserable on the walk this morning. Joni was desperate to go swimming.

It was really hot. It was quite warm. I had this big big jump on but it's cold now. Are you up for some crazy golf maybe in a little while? Yeah but can we not go to the one in Newquay? Can we go to the one in Morganport? Yes. That's fine. It's quite nostalgic going there. If we can park. Yeah yeah I'm sure we'll be able to. All right are you ready to go? You've got to put some jeans on. Oh yeah. Go get some jeans on then. Okay. Alright? Alright, see you in a minute. See you in a minute.

They've been good on the whole, haven't they? Yes. Joni had a bit of a monopoly meltdown last night. Oh yeah, Jesus. Where it became possible that she wouldn't win. If anyone would have heard. It sounded like a child was being murdered. Yeah, it really did.

There's only one who heard that. I apologize. Bit worried about those sheep started lying down over there. Oh, yeah. Black, black. Is that not cows, darling? Yeah. I don't think if the sheep lay down, it means rain.

Maybe it just means they're tired. I'm not sure. Maybe it is all animals if they lay down. I don't know. Well, if you're anything to go by, it's permanently raining. You don't stop laying down. You had a nice lie in every day, haven't you? Not particularly. Blimey? Not particularly, no. Blimey. Not really.

Honestly. Half eight, nine? You are the last one upstairs, almost. Half eight, nine. It's my holiday. Okay. Joni's like you. Can't wait to get up.

You're up. Both of you are telling everyone to get up. You get up. You go out with her. I do. I know you do. her I do know you think exactly what I've done every single day. Enjoy yourself Right, it does look a bit dark now, shall we decide what to do and let's go Let's go and buy some nice dessert wine to take home with us Play a spot of golf. Hmm. Come on then Let's go

So we are at our favorite place for a Cornish tea. We are. And as said before in the pods, jam or cream, cream or jam? It is cream then jam. And would you like to hear my explanation for that? Well that's what you think. Oh yeah. But not what Google says. Google says that in Cornwall it's the jam then drink.

But I've always said it should be free then jam. Because when you're having a pizza toast and you're having a number 10 and you have butter on it as well. You don't put the jam on then the butter or the flour and then the butter on. You always put the butter first. That's it. That is just emptied the cream. Luckily it sits over the table then. Try that out.

That's alright. But yeah, I think cream and jam. Joanie has got the biggest sausage and bacon roll which ever seen. That looks really good, that. Joni has got the biggest sausage and bacon roll which ever seen. And it's really good that. So I'm trying to try and miss Eliza's way now the cream. I think they're gonna get a bit annoyed about. I always put the cream on first as well, I don't know why. Funny isn't it?

It's our last full day everyone. Thanks everyone, enjoyed their week. Well Joni's been very good, but she's eating so she's not speaking. Makes a change. It is a change, it's gone very quickly. It has gone quickly hasn't it? I do feel like that. I think I prefer it with jam and bed in a crate. Do you really?

Mmm. Fair enough. That's good. I've done what daddy did now. So what are we doing later? We are going swimming. I don't know, we're going to eat chocolate, innit? And what's been your favourite bit so far Joni, of us being away?

Sorry, while Joni's eating, what's been your favourite bit of going away? I've loved all of it, honestly. I've really really enjoyed when we met at the Eiser. What? For our meals? I know. I thought that was really good. What are you doing? Indian. The fish restaurant. I thought that was the one before this time. You want that one?

No. This cream's good, isn't it? I want the one with the fish. Yeah, the fish one. Yeah, the fish one. I don't know. I feel like it's gone so fast I can't really say what I've got because I can't remember anything. I know what you're holding. As Daddy said, it doesn't roll into one.

What's been your favourite bit,i? Well I love going swimming, it's probably been my most favourite bit every single day but I did love getting my braids and my hair and I loved the pig because I loved my steak there, it was really good. What's been your favourite meal that you've had? Probably the pizza steak. I did like my burger last night though. I thought we had a lovely, lovely meal at the bedroom then didn't we? It was nice in here wasn't it? Yeah, really nice. Basically we come on holiday to Coldwell and we just eat and drink continuously for seven

days. The jeans I've got on now are quite large when I first put them on at the beginning of the week. Now they've filled out quite well. I feel smaller than I did when we came. That's because you've not been laying in your bedroom every day. What do you mean? Because you've been moving your body, swimming, walking. What? Well, until next year, eh? Until next year?

You have learned some sign language from brilliant Rose-Alan Ellis's book that you love. You've been learning your sign language, haven't you? Yeah. Which has been fantastic this week. We've come up with sign names, have a way for each other. Unfortunately sweetheart, you doing the sign language isn't very good for the pod but it does look absolutely brilliant until next year and then stop till we're here again

We'll see. We'll see. None of us can talk because we're too busy eating. See ya.
