Great advert for Cornish Tourism!

Festive Frolics…

Ah… Christmas… isn’t it a wonderful time of year? Personally I’m a little concerned about my humans who seem to have over indulged in a few too many mince pies and Christmas pudding helpings which is evidenced by the fact that they are all walking around with the top button on their trousers undone and a rather bloated appearance in general… I’ve been trying to...
