We cannot wait to welcome you all to Cornwall over the next few months. But please have a think about coming in September, October or November. Let’s spread the season for all businesses and try and prevent overcrowding and a second spike that will kill many businesses #reopen

It's good to stimulate the brain and keep learning, even during the holidays. The benefits of learning new things are endless!! How about play an instrument? I'm sure there's an instrument in the house you could learn to play with the help of YouTube.🎢 #Learn #5WaysToWellbeing

If everyone who is grateful for NHS staff right now followed and retweeted, we would reach a million by midnight. It will take just two seconds to do, and you can help us share important information that could help save lives.
