Last of the Cornwall photos. We spent a day at Tintagel. Again we had visited this in 2009 but the Sparrow remembered nothing about it. She was enchanted and said she wished she'd bought her sketch book with her. She also liked Tintagel village which none of use recalled from 2009. It reminded me a bit of Glastonbury - clearly making the most of its Arthurian connection with souvenir shops at various price points, several with a bent towards the mystic.

The biggest change at Tintagel was the introduction of a new bridge (the upper one in the image above) and general improvement of access. It felt a lot more crowded to us, though whether that was because of the improved access or because we were visiting in September rather than May, it was hard to say.

Q16: Do you remember your first OTP? Who was in it?

Hard to be certain, looking back that far, but I suspect it was Leia and Luke from Star Wars. Not that the pairing survived the appearance of The Empire Strikes Back (let alone Return of the Jedi) one of the many ways that film was disconcerting to a nine year old. I did not approve of Leia/Han or unresolved endings.
