The drum kit is the finest piece of musical.equipment , in my option .
Although my mates used to say , drummers are just guys who hang out with musicians 😂

It a beautiful county!
I took up the drums. Didn't get anywhere particularly but it was fun trying! I sold my kit decades ago and I'd need practice to try again but I still know the "rudiments". That were when pop and rock music had proper and sometimes quite complicated rhythms, long before first the Disco then Drum-&-Bass stuff took any complexity out.

@Survivor69 the drive for me is around three hundred and thirty mile , I tend to leave in the early hours to avoid traffic jams and play music but it's a fair journey

Cornwall's one of my favourite places. Haven't been in decades though!

I stayed in caravans like those with my grandparents. Good times.

@Gumba1000 I recall our family had a caravan holiday, not in Cornwall but Devon, round about 1960s I suppose. Uncle, aunt and cousin too, in the adjacent caravan.
These were static 'vans, on a site just outside Dawlish; quite basic and with what intrigued my sister, brother and I, gas lights.
I forget what we all did but Dawlish Warren railway station and that famous sea wall were only short walks away.
In later years we enjoyed a couple of holidays at Mullion, in Cornwall, but this time using our own caravanette (VW based) augmented with a tent.
