I'm implying that my dad was a lawyer for many years, and as a result I have met lots of his colleagues

speaking of dads and your dad's practice
my dad bought me (well, me and my brothers) a holiday cottage in cornwall for xmas. where's padstow (might be porth, can't remember). is it nice?

he bought you a cottage?
Padstow is basically owned by Rick Stein. It's in a good location, but I find Padstow itself to be quite shit. It's also probably the busiest most touristy place in Cornwall.

Porth is on the outskirts of Newquay, not far from where I usually camp down there

it's an investment/inheritance tax thing rather than a christmas present really, he just thought that would be a nice time of year to tell us. which it was!

not near me, but there aren't many main roads into Devon and Cornwall, so you'll have to come right past Exeter
which means you are only about 5-10 minutes from my house.

Cornwall isn't a big place at all
so it doesn't take that long to get from anywhere to anywhere else.
