Well, I am sorry to hear tha rl is not being great. :-(
Thinking about your trip sounds like a nice idea, though. And Cornwall is very lovely, and July - if the weather's good - would be a great time to go. I have never quite made it over the border from Devon for some reason, though! (Probably 'cos Devon is also lovely). Land's End, the Eden Project, Tintagel, Clovelly, lots of picturesque fishing villages, pixies, old tin mines, that sort of thing. :-) (You could stop off in my proper home county of Somerset and visit Wookey Hole, where they filmed Revenge of the Cybermen, too.) ♥ the West Country.
And Wales: Wales is amazing and gorgeous, but Cornwall is probably more accessible if you want to go to other places as well (but West Glamorgan, Breconshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, all of mid-West Wales is my favourite place on earth.) But that is probably unrealistic if you're travelling elsewhere - nowhere in Wales is exactly easy to get by, and if you go by train, you usually have to go back out of Wales to get back to the other bit you wanted to get to - it's not convenient.
Mind you, not that London couldn't keep a person occupied for all that time, anyway. (Did you see the Imperial War Museum while you were there last time? Despite the off-putting name, it is one of the most impressive London museums, which is saying something.)
There are loads of great places in the NE, too, but again, like Wales, that implies more travelling than you may wish. (Although not as bad as Wales, and the GNER or whatever it is now is probably our fastest trainline and you can get from King's Cross to York in two and a half hours, which isn't bad. And York is very pretty. I have given my heart to Durham and Newcastle instead, but there's no denying York is one of the oldest and most attractive cities in the country.)
But there's almost nowhere there isn't something interesting to see, so I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time - and I hear there's this great show on in London, too... :-D
